Pitching the Gospel in Mexico: Waves & AA

What a crazy week it has been. So we had transfers last week and I have a new area and companion! I moved literally half a mile and I'm covering the Cameron Ranch & Durango wards! My comp is Elder Pierson and he's dope. He's from Long Beach and has 15 months. His name is Carter too so you already know theres lots of jokes from that haha. I also finally saw my MTC comp Elder McMaster, he's best guy still!

So we spent the first couple days just setting up zoom calls and it was successful! The members are super cool and we have already taught a bunch! The work looks like there are lots of people we can teach, we just need to get in contact with them. For this week we have a lot of solid lessons planned and I'm super excited! But yeah that's about it for the work part.

I also decided to pick up a little hobby too... let's just say I'm gonna be the next Dean Lewis. If you don't know who that is, repent, then look him up. I am currently mastering the song "Waves" and honestly I'm not too bad for only having 4 days of practice! Guess that's what quarantine does for ya!

Now for the craziest part of the week. For those of you who know, my Aunt Ann passed away Friday. It was tough but I can only imagine how my family feels right now. She's my great aunt, but is like my second mom and grandma. There isn't a day that has gone by in my life where she hasn't been a part of it. When I found out the news I was devastated and for about 30 minutes I felt lost and didn't know how I could still serve. I got a blessing from my companion and from that moment on, I've felt nothing but peace. I have been able to study the scriptures so much and read some great conference talks. My testimony has been strengthened so much in these last few days. I look back at my memories with Ann and there isn't anything I'd change about it. She will be missed so much, but I know that I will see her again and hear "Hey Cart, I love you" haha super excited for that again!

Love you all so much!
