Excited to give
another weekly update. This entire week was a miracle. We were in homes,
teaching lessons all week. We were shocked when we got to the end of
the week. We thought we had a lot of empty time, but as we used our time
wisely, we saw miracles and were running from home to home everyday.
It was the same story with entire district. Every companionship was able to meet with almost, if not all, of their investigators. It was a week of teaching and growing our areas. All testified that it was a special week.

We were so excited to see M. accept the Gospel. We taught a great lesson one, and when we asked him to be baptized, he accepted. His mother and brother are members, and his brother served a mission. I love seeing families be completed in the Gospel. We helped him see why his family is a part of this church, and we are excited to continue teaching him!
Elder Muñoz is doing great in training! We learned together that the best way to know the concerns is to ask them to live it, and if they say no, we follow up and find the concern. A great learning experience.
I loved my personal study this week. Reading about the Savior's life helps me feel closer to Him. He was the greatest example of being bold with love. He taught like one, having authority, the scripture says. Not only did he have authority from his father, but when He spoke, He did it with power. He was fearless. I also love how he did so well in applying the teachings to those he taught. He didn't use big vocabulary, or deep doctrine, He taught about sheep, and talents, and things they would understand. Always using scriptures to back him up. I hope that I can become like him and be a master teacher.
And here is my favorite part of the letter.... FUNNY STORIES WITH ELDER TYSON!!!
Here
is the scoop, we all know how forgetful I am..... Like super
forgetful...... And that I lose things all the time..... Like all the
time..... Well this week was no different, worse, actually..... Don't
tell the deportation office but this week, not only did I lose my nearly
200 euro train ticket, but also, my residency card, showing that I am
legal...... It was rough..... One minute it was in my pocket, and after a
fun game of hide and seek with our recent convert's two year old.... It
was gone.....
Side note: the game was just in
the living room, and I just hid on the other side of the couch.... Both
parents were there, nothing sketchy... Elder Muñoz was there as well..
So no worries
Anyways, she was counting very
fast, so I had to leap/dive over the couch to hide, and as we were
leaving I noticed I didn't have my ticket or my residency card, and we
couldn't find it anywhere...... LUCKILY, I said a prayer, so I will find it, maybe today, tomorrow, or the millennium.... But I will find it....
But
it doesn't stop there folks..... I also lost our phone this week....
Smooth Elder Tyson..... We were blind for three days.... If you have
ever served a mission (after the year 2003) you know that your phone is
your life..... You need it to do any work basically..... Confirming
plans, making new ones, calling the zone leaders, whatever.... And we
were empty.....
Side note: if you served a
mission before 2003 it is not to say that you didn't communicate, it's
just to say that the cell phone is a lot faster than the telegraph or
the pony express mail service... Love you still..... Hehehe
LUCKILY, It
had just fallen out of my pocket in an investigators home, and we had
to travel to the quinto pino to find it...... (For those greengos that
is a saying for very far, love ya).... Hehehe.... But we did find
it!!!!! And it was like a symphony, we just kept listening, and pretty
soon we start to figure out our part, everyone plays a piece, and there
melodies, in everyone of us, IT WAS GLORIOUS!!!!!!!!!
Anyways... That's my story!!!!
I got some letters today, when we went to the office for my new
ticket.... The picture of the house, the jokes, another one, and the one
from Kalee..... Thank you!
For preparation day we went to Barcelona and played volleyball with the zone... It was fun!!!
So that's about it!!! Love you!
Elder Tyson
