SLC WEEK 46

 Hola todos!

Great week!!

Went to the temple this week with our zone! I love the temple!!

Junior got baptized!! He was someone I taught a few months ago in my last area. I thought he would be an eternagator but he made the decision to be baptized finally! It was so cool to be a part of that experience. Junior is such a nugget but I'm so happy he decided to make the decision and become a member. He also asked brother Amado to baptize him, who used to be a member of the quorum of the 70ty

We also had a recent convert start breast feeding in front of us so.. that was crazy haha

In our area we had a rough week. We still had a bunch of stuff happen. We worked our best for the energy we had, but we have been tired from all these weeks of grinding our hardest. And its hard to recover quick in this area because its constant work for 12 to 13 hrs a day. We got our rest though this pday and are ready to get back on the grind.

Sadly most of the people we had on date this month have to get pushed back. One family the father has a testimony and we have to work with his daughter and wife. But hopefully all will get on board with the baptism because they are an awesome family

Was an awesome week! I'm excited for this next month because we should have a ton of baptisms if everything goes well! But they work here is awesome and I'm so happy for Junior

Happy pioneer day! 

Love,

SLC WEEK 45

 Hola todos!

This was an awesome week with a ton of miracles!

Someone named junior from my last area finally decided to be baptized! He will be baptized tomorrow on Tuesday and I can't wait because I didn't think he would actually do it after 3 months of not being taught! But I'm super excited for him

The wind has been crazy this week. But it feels nice because its a nice cool breeze. Weather is so much better in summer 

Miracles have been crazy this week too. This week we have 7 people on date for this month, 16 people came to church, and we found 14 new people this week to start teaching. Its been so awesome and I can't believe this transfer is halfway over. I love this area!

I also have less than a year left on my mission which is crazy! Time flies quick. But I'm so glad to be serving here at this time and I gotta use those missionary discounts while I can haha

Nothing other than that happened that was super new. But the work is going great here in Utah and I love it here! 

Hope you all are doing well!

Love,

SLC WEEK 44

Hola todos!

This week was awesome! Lots of miracles and blessings we have received this week!!

Maria passed her baptismal interview! We have to delay the baptism though because her son hurt his back. But hopefully it'll be before the end of the month!!

The Suarez family also accepted a date to be baptized! That will hopefully be the 23rd and they are such an awesome family and progressing super quick. It's so cool that they have been reading the Book of Mormon as a family everyday. 

The work here is so awesome and I'm so grateful to be here. I love it!

We were able to take some recent converts to the temple! They had such a great spiritual experience and they are almost ready to be sealed together very soon! I'm surprised because they have been active for a year and this is the first time they went. But it was a great experience

There was a fire or something on the other side of the mountain so there has been a ton of smoke lately in the air. But it has made the sunsets look super cool at night

This week was awesome. I love my comp and my area! The work has been so great and everyday is another blessing SLC is the best mission hands down

But I hope you all have a great week!!

Love,

SLC WEEK 43

Hola todos!

Great week! Very tiring but it was an awesome week! We had a bunch of miracles and good stuff in the works for this month! Also happy 4th of July!!

New comp Elder Lancy. We just had transfers and Elder Smith is leaving the area and now I have Elder Lancy. He is an amazing comp and is very diligent in being obedient but he still knows how to have a bunch of fun which is nice. Also he is a native speaker so once again I've been blessed haha

New zone. With transfers we still have most of the same missionaries but each companionship got a new companion. But they all seem super chill which has been great! I can't wait to see what happens this transfer

Area is cracked. As usual we are in the promised land, Copperwood Apartments. We spend just about everyday here and the work here is awesome. I love this area

We have been teaching this older lady Maria and she has been a ton of fun to teach. She at first was really closed off and was just curious but now she is right by baptism! She may be baptized either this Sunday or the next but she is progressing super well and I'm so excited for her!

Happy 4th of July. As a mission we basically have an all day pday. Where we get to watch movies with our zone and have a great time. Holidays are nice on pday

I love the mission and Utah. Latinos are so awesome and I'm so glad I have the opportunity to work with the people here and to be guided to those who need the gospel in their lives. Im loving it every day!

Hope everyone has a great week!

Love,

Elder Randall
