Hey Y'all,

This week has been a doozy! Roger, our fine friend from Camilo, finally stepped down into the waters of baptism on Tuesday and received the Holy Ghost on Sunday. We and his family are all very excited to finally have him as a member and he's going to progress very well. We're going to give him a tie when we go to his house on Thursday! :)

This week we've also had little miracles! We met a guy named Patricio a couple of weeks ago, who we're not quite sure whether his mind is all there or not. We had been inviting him to come to church and yesterday he not only came, but brought a friend with him! We're going to visit the both of them this week to talk about the Plan of Salvation because Patricio recently lost his mom. His friend's name is Armando. They're pretty cool guys.

We also found 2 or 3 other people that are awesome as well. On Sunday we went to the birthday party for Nancy, a lady we recently met while knocking doors. Her family was all there and we had a great time talking about the life as a missionary and teaching a little bit about what life is all about.

The other elders had a baptism on Saturday as well, of Little Daniel. He's 12 years old and lives with his mom who has a little bit of a hearing problem. They're a great family and we're very happy that Daniel took the step to get baptized. :)

We were running all over the place on Sunday. Apart from the birthday party, we also had a goal to talk with 80 people in the street before heading back to the house for the night. It was in attempt to talk with 300 new people every week about the gospel. We did with with time to spare. :) Unfortunately nobody was all that interested in talking to us...

That's about the gist of this week. I finally got the wedding pictures and I love the food I got from the family! Keep reading the Book of Mormon every day!

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American."  With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly.  Am I really proud to be an American?  Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

I Don't Wanna Be Anything Other Than Me

Dear Reader,  I work online at one of my part-time jobs. Sometimes it is required of me to look up a person's credentials or accomplishments to better fill out a description of their time on the radio. This means I do Google searches quite frequently to find their websites, their social media profiles, etc. By no means am I a guru on the world wide web, but I have been around the internet a few times. Why does any of this matter to you, reader? It matters because I have found a few things that are essential to being safe online. As much as anyone hates to admit, the persona built on the web greatly affects the actual person outside of technology. It matters because we need to review the tips on how to remain safe online regularly.  Here is a quick example of how important it is to monitor what you put online. If you put "Dale Lundstrom" into a Google search, there are 743 results as of today. A good number of those have nothing to do with me, it's true. Howe...
