The End Of July, School Season Incoming

Image
Dear friends and family,     Last week was absolutely on fire! We had a lot lessons with members and they are committed to helping us, they all have someone in mind that we are excited to see how they progress.     Elder Hughes is amazing, he is an excellent cook and makes good cinnamon rolls. I love every single moment of this experience, I haven't heard from Trinidad and the office yet, but I'm excited to see the many miracles that are about happen in the foothills ward.     I miss you guys every day and as some you guys are going back to school( I see you Nik) remember that the lord is always behind us and will guide you to make the best choices. I hope little bro and my family that you will have a great school year and be safe!     Sincerely, Elder Franco  My companion the great Elder Hughes!

Big Things Are Happening

Dear friends and family, Hello! Its been a full week and things are happening! Crazy things! The first and big one is that I might be actually going to my original assignment sometime soon! I got a call on Thursday from the mission office and they told me that I'm cleared to be in the first travel group to trinidad and tobago! They didn't give me a specific date but I'm still excited! Next we found a potential investigator named Ivan. We gave him a soft commitment so I'm hopeful he will become more interested as the week goes on. Today we did a hike and it was fun hanging out with the district. But the day isn't over! So I will continue to have fun on pday today and continue to wax strong in the lord! Sincerely, Elder Franco 

Miracles, Miracles, And Heat!

Dear friends and family, Before I get to the miracles, I have to address the extreme heat thats hitting the west side of the U.S. I'm honestly surprised on how 100 degrees feels lol! I'm surprised I was able to survive, but I know the lord needs me to do his work so he provided me with a lot of water bottles. The big miracles this week is that we were able to put a girl named Sami Lydia  on date for baptism for August and find 2 new people who want to learn more about the church. These were the most amazing miracles I have come across so far in the mission. The weeks before have been super slow and no one exactly progressing. Cut to this week and the lord showed his hand! I testify that if we labor in the lords vineyard with all our heart, mind, and strength, miracles will happen and will not only strengthen others testimonies but your own testimony as well! I gratefully say these things in the name of Jesus christ, Amen! Sincerely, Elder Franco  Pics: the sun disappeared!

Happy 4th Of July!

Dear family and friends,     Happy 4th of July everybody! This week has been slow but I got a new companion!     His name is Elder Hughes and he is very interesting. He likes a lot of hobbies and #1 fan of Pokémon.     I'm doing good, got to watch fireworks with members during dinner, so that was a lot of fun. Look forward to sharing more!     Sincerely, Elder Franco
