Mitchell, Luke P

Hola everyone! This week was pretty slow to be honest. But still the ball is moving, and the finding has begun. I have been reading the Saints book, and wow that book has really made me realize how important my job is. I will never take the Book of Mormon for granted again. The work that Joseph put into getting that book out is crazy! I have so much compassion on Joseph, he literally is just doing everything he can to start up the church, and yet everyone is always so harsh towards him, out of the church and in the church. Still people wonder if he was a true prophet. It just makes me laugh because people freak out and leave the church because he looked into a hat, but yet Moses killed an Egyptian for no reason, and then God ordered him to commit genocide on the Canaanites. So please just leave him alone, Josephs a hero. Anyway I'm done with my Ted talk, on to the week.     Elder Sanderson had to go up to Xalapa this week and grab his gringo card, so I was on divisiones until ...

Hermanos, y Hermanas! This week has been wild! So let's get into it.     On Tuesday I went to the Church in Xalapa, were all the new missionaries where. Then President called my name, and gave me my kid(companion). My new comp is Elder Sanderson!! He is from Interprise Utah, and is way sick. We have a good time. But then from the church we took our bags, and headed to our new area. Im not going to lie our area isn't great. Its called Plaza Verde, but the nick name is Plaza Muerte because the area is dead. The apartment is also pretty sketchy. It should be nice once we clean it, but are spiders in no joke every corner, and cobwebs are all over the place. But I am really pumped, a determaind to get this place moving again.      The first day was a pretty big reality check. We don´t really have people that the other Elders were teaching, so we just went to the streets. And we got slapped by rejection. All of our potential Investigators told us they were busy, or ju...

( This was my email last week! I wrote it, but had no time to send it because I didnt have a phone till Tuesday!(     This week was honestly pretty slow, but I do not have time to talk, so im sorry for the short message!     Here is the rundown....     We went to Poza Rica because Brimhall had a baptism, so that was an absolute blast! Then today we had a baptism!!! We went to check the font, and there was some water in it. The font couldn't drain, so we had to get buckets and drain the font by hand. We did all that for nothing, because Fabian didn't show up. That was tough, but life goes on. Then we had transfer news!! I was messing with Barney, and told him fake news. I told him I was going to Martinez, training a new missionary. Then an hour later I got a call from the AP's with transfer news. I laughed so hard because I am going to Martinez training a new missionary! So I AM GOING TO BE A DAD!!! I am so stressed, but really excited! So today I am going t...

This week was honestly pretty slow. We pretty much put all of our focus on the baptism for Zuri. But it went well, so mission accomplished!      But Tuesday we had the interview for Zuri, And it was a bit scary. She showed up with a lot of food which was awesome, because we just ate while she was being interviewed. As I mentioned before, she has a wild past, and this is why I got scared during the interview. A regular interview lasts about 10-15 min. But not hers, she was in the office for an hour! Me and Brimhall had to anxiously wait the whole time. But she passed! So it was all worth it. We also had Fabian's interview too! He passed but there were some issues that we wanted to resolve before he got baptized, so we pushed his baptism to next Sunday.     I also had an experience that was absolutely terrifying while I was cleaning the baptismal font. I was cleaning, and I usually open the lid to the drain, because it's just easier to clean that way. So I opened ...
