The 4th was good. We couldn't be on the streets past 6pm so all the missionaries in our zone went to the church and watched the other side of heaven. It was fun. This past week was kind of shot as far as the work goes. On Wednesday morning we were evacuated to Edinburgh which is right next to McAllen. We stayed with some other elders who lived there. We also welcomed our new mission president, Pres. Trayner. We had two, seven hour conferences there on Weds and Thurs. Then at night we would go out and help the elders we were staying with. It rained a lot and the streets we flooded in Edinburgh and the same thing happened in Brownsville. It just rained for one day though and we returned back to Brownsville on Thurs night. There wasn't any damage except in one of the small towns in our area had a tornado and trees were knocked down. Nothing too bad. We then had two more conferences in Harlingen and Brownsville so we didn't get a whole lot of work done. Right now it is horrible because there are mosquitos everywhere. I have too many bites to count! Other than that things are going good. We are working with some great people and we are going to have two baptisms this Sunday. We keep hearing about another hurricane forming so that should be very exciting.

We didn't know you, but the world will miss you Elder. To your family and friends, we were deeply saddened to hear the news this evening. You are all in our prayers.
ReplyDelete:( I met you this year when I lost my faith and you and Elder Guillen helped me get it back. You saved me. You were a good human being and the world is a sadder place without you. I wish I could pay my respects in a better way than this blog, but if any of your family is reading this just know that your mission out here was not in vain. You touched people's lives more than you may have known and I am so honored to have met you and had you in my life.
ReplyDeleteWe are all in prayer for you & your family, Elder. You served in Honor.
