Quick Trip

What's up my dudes! 

Another solid week in Gilbert and Salt Lake... I'll explain that in a second. 

So this week we had a lot of solid visits with members and non members. There's a family we are trying to pick up to teach and they LOVE Elder Barlow and I. We went there like 3 days in a row and they talked to us for at least 45 minutes each time. They are super active in their church so right now we are just building a good friendship. I was able to go over and hit in their batting cage and man did it feel good! 

The other visits were amazing as well. What we did to get in the door was take bread to them. Elder Barlow makes some killer bread so he made like 12 loaves and we took it around. Even if people don't wanna hear a message, they can't turn down a fresh loaf of bread. I really think the area is gonna have a lot of work in the next few weeks. 

Now for the fun stuff. I went to Salt Lake today to see the Mexican Consulate because I'm supposed to go back to Villahermosa! If everything goes according to plan, I'll be back on the 23rd. I flew out this morning at 7:00am and I am writing this email on my flight back. I was able to spend the day with some of the Elders that I was in Villahermosa and the MTC with! Funnest p-day I've had in a while! We finished our appointment at the consulate early and had about 4 hours to kill so we went over to the mall, temple square, and Vivint Smart Home Arena. Seriously so fun! 

This week my focus spiritually was conversion. I got an email from my mission president in Villahermosa this last week and in it he asked me some questions. One was him asking what I want to accomplish in my last 6 months of the mission. I obviously wrote that I want to perfect my Spanish but I also said I want to stay converted to the Gospel and continue in my personal conversion. I then shared my testimony in church on Sunday and talked about the same thing. The church is so freaking true. Take some time this week to see how your conversion is and if it isn't what you'd want it to be, I invite you to work on it. 

Love you all!
