Week 1 in Laredo

Laredo is amazing! We are working super hard here to bring a temple to the valley. Many members can't go to the temple because of the different borders and check points, so to thousands of souls having a temple is what they and all of their ancestors need and desire so desperately! When Laredo becomes a stake the valley will become eligible to become a temple and the Saints will be able to praise their God in the most high and sacred way available to us in these later days in this probationary state. 

Our first night here we had like one hour so we just started walking down the main road to the nearest member well we ended up meeting four members like this and the last member that saw us bought us Sonic, what a blessed way to start off the first day in Laredo. (the white wash is real) my comp Elder packer (yes he is related to him) and free snow cones another tender mercy 

Elder Enriquez and I live together now, I love this guy. He and I ran to the park this week to wrestle for morning work outs and we were wrestling in this grass and we got up and next thing I know fire ants were biting me... so I killed them as quick as possible.  Well that night with my leg and arm on fire I counted a good 60 separate bites... hate hate hate, loath fire ants entirely!

I am so excited to be here working in the Lords kingdom, we are here to establish Zion! I have the most loving companion in the world and the field is white and ready to harvest. Leaving Beeville was tough but I know the Lord has a perfect plan for each and every one of His children that we all play a part in. I love you all, please serve each other this week and invite all to come unto Christ. I love you all so much!

Car is stuffed with luggage as we head to transfers.
