Week 27 in Chihuahua - New Companion

Helllooo everyone.

 

Life is good. So I just barely met my new companion and he is awesome. His name is Elder Lopez and he is from the Dominican Republic. He loves bball!!! This is my first companion that prefers basketball over soccer hahaha I love it.

 

I was with Elder Serrano for a week and that was fun. There has  been so many changes lately! I have been driving back and forth to where the mission president is and then back to my area a bunch of times and it will be nice to just stay in one area for a while.

 

A cool story from is this week is that we have a kid that we are teaching and he is way awesome. His name is Diego and his family is a little less active but Diego isn't a member so we have been teaching him. His parents are separated and so his dad is Mormon and his mom is a Jehova's Witness. Diego's mom doesn't want him to get baptized.

 

Anyway we went to their house to teach Diego and the dad and the mom were both there and I remember thinking like ohhh no this is going to be awkward haha so we taught Diego and we asked him how he felt about his baptism. He said, "well I have permission from my dad but not from my mom and then he asked his mom if she would give him permission and she said ummm I don't know. then Diego said, "well either way I'm gonna get baptized hahhaa. It was awesome.. in my head I was screammming " YEAH DIEGO U TELL HER HOW IT IS" she didn't really say anything after haha. but that was a cool experiance for the week.

 

I definitely wouldn't trade a mission experience for anything because I'm learning so much and helping a lot of people.  I honestly feel like I see the world a little different now.  There are hard days where I think, ugg, I wish I was with my family, but there are times when I'm in a lesson and the Spirit is sooooo strong and I honestly wouldn't want to be doing anything else but teaching that lesion if you get what I mean.

 

Anyways I love you allll!!! Here are some scriptures that I absolutey love! ALMA chapter 36 verses 20 21.

 

Love,

Elder Lignell
