(for the last time)<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">This was the title of the email today. Kind of stunned me for a moment. Our last day to email. What??? How did that ever happen? Starting to get super excited now. Can't wait to hug this son of mine. Here was his message:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Hey everyone!!! Here are some photos of our baptism of Jazmin and Yosalyn </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">and hopefully we will have a baptism this week </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">as well, which would be of their mom and boyfriend and it'll be my last!</span></span><br />

<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">So this is my last week here in the field and I want to thank everyone who has supported my family and I the past 2 years, it really means a lot. Thank you for the prayers and the advice and whatever else there has been, It has been such a great help for me and I couldn't have done it without those who have stood behind me, much less without Christ and our Heavenly Father. I know this work is the most important thing someone can do in the world and it has been an honor and a privilege to serve the Lord! He has blessed me more than I can believe and more than anyone can deserve and I know He loves me. It's been good, </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">and I'll see you guys soon!!!! Love ya!!</span></div>

Bryce has been working hard and will be home in two weeks. Not much to report because he says the days are flying by and they pretty much do the same thing everyday (and he's a person of many words lol)<br />

The zone had a water/game day. It's been extra hot so the water balloons and buckets dumped on heads was a treat. I asked Bryce if they were hot sitting outside playing games and he said no because they were soaking wet.</div>

This was a crazy one!! For all you Mom's that want to know when you receive the return flight information, it's around 70 days left in the mission.<br />
<br />
So two weeks ago on a pday we received an email with Bryce's return date, flight information, and all those great things. We were ecstatic! I called the girls into my bedroom and Dad was there and we had this big celebration of knowing the exact return details. The email was carbon copied to Bryce, Dad, Mom, Bishop, and Stake President. We were so excited and full of joyful emotion! Our loved one had a return date.<br />
<br />
THEN.....later that day we received the pday email. Apparently Bryce had received a phone call the Friday prior and was told his return date and told he would have an itinerary emailed to him. He was waiting to surprise us with the news except we received the email before he did. So that didn't work out so well. He opened his email to see his flight information, his tickets, his date to leave the mission......and.....he was devastated. We soon realized our joy was not his joy. We don't talk about home or return with him so I never really knew how he felt about it but it became very clear on this day. He does not want to come home. He is lost in the service of the mission, loves his companion, loves the work, loves the people of Mexico, and the last thing he wants is for any of it to end. Although he is so sad, this was the most joyful news a mother could hear. He is truly in love with what he is doing and has truly converted to being a missionary.<br />
<br />
He speaks English but in Spanish format. He said, "This is all so shocking to me, it's real and the tickets are purchased. This is really happening, Holy Cow. I really have to come home. This has all hit me a bit in the sadness. <i>that last sentence, oh my goodness the phrasing was so fun.</i><br />
<br />
So after all that was established it got kind of odd. Every six weeks missionaries transfer into Mexico and missionaries transfer back to their homes. This is the cycle that continues on and on during the two year mission. Bryce transferred in during a cycle and now he will transfer out at the end of a cycle. Since Bryce was the first cycle in for his Mission President, this means he is the first missionary to have completed 2 years with President Montoya. His arrival was under different circumstances and his departure is following suit. Sort of feels like a trend of his mission. He is the only missionary I know of that was the only North American of his generation. That changed many things for him. For example, he didn't bond with fellow North Americans in the CCM, he didn't arrive into Chihuahua with a support base of people he was familiar with, etc. He doesn't have that group that so many are blessed with throughout their mission. Despite that, he's been an amazing trooper and fought hard when times were tough and has made amazing, amazing, life long friends. I'm sure it was all for a reason and he had to learn to depend on many and when to stand on his own.<br />
<br />
His final words: I've really changed so much. In a lot of ways. I feel more mature and I'm able to handle stress better. I have a lot to do and time is moving to fast. I need to work fast and hard. I'm not ready for it to end so I'm just not going to think about it.ElderBryceJohnsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09189502231813986179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2395629018530105909.post-84671398409377385242018-03-22T02:45:00.001-07:002018-05-08T00:12:05.471-07:00WEEK 92 - Part 1 EMOTIONSSo I think this blog has turned into a "Mother's summary" instead of a Bryce's words blog. As time moves on, he gives much less detail so I just end up summarizing his emails.<br />
<br />
Bryce really likes his new companion. He is funny and they get along great. He jumps right in to teach and apparently loves photography. (maybe I'll get some good pics). When Bryce arrived in the mission he was the first batch for his mission president so there weren't set programs in place They now have a set training program for missionaries just entering the field. Bryce (the trainer) and Elder Jiminez (the trainee) attend weekly training meetings. These meetings help the new elder adjust. They also teach the trainers how to be effective teachers. I think it's a wonderful change. Bryce joked that he was the guinea pig when he arrived. Just the same as he was the guinea pig in our family because he is the first born :) (HAPPINESS TO BE TRAINING AND MEETING A LIFELONG FRIEND)<br />

Right after Bryce picked up his new companion they had some extra time to make visits. They were right next to a previous area Bryce served in so he went and visited his kids. He calls them "My Kids". He said they were so happy to see me and it was so great! It had been a long time that I hadn't seen them and they haven't been to church in a long time. It was so good to see them. They were laughing and telling jokes and just being funny.<br />
<br />
I remember many photos of Bryce playing chess with them, etc. He visited them often while he served in that area of Chihuahua. (PURE JOY)<br />

I honestly dont' know what the connection is between Bryce and cats but this is his third encounter in the past few months. First he arrived home one night to find a stray cat sleeping on his bed, next he had to clean up an ugly scene of deceased cats at the sisters' house, then this particular week he and his comp were in Delicias and found a tall box with abandoned kittens in it. So what would Bryce do? Well Bryce takes the box of kittens to his dinner appointment and gives them as gifts. Really Bryce? Yes he did! However, the recipients were grandparents and were happy. They have three families with grandchildren, so they gifted each family a kitten. Hopefully they will be well loved.<br />

Bryce and Elder Jiminez had a baptism in Delicias. This was the first baptism for Jiminez so it was an exciting day! From Bryce: <span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"><span style="font-family: "roboto" , sans-serif;">Yeah so his name is Oscar and he was going to get baptized in 2 weeks, but He was ready then and didn't have any reason to wait so we asked him for that Saturday and he was fine with it! He is really happy right now. He has no family and lives alone so that's sad. My comp was</span><span class="tL8wMe EMoHub" dir="ltr" id=":l5.co" style="font-family: "roboto" , sans-serif;"> super excited but he was stressing out all day about the baptism so I had to tell him to relax all day.

</div>
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">Romancita was the one woman I hoped to go back and meet someday. She took Bryce in and loved him like no other. She was his grandma in the mission. She actually kept a framed picture of him in her house. Bryce lived in the apartment above her house in Parral (a year ago). That's when he was so sick and had to stay in bed many days. Often he would sleep at Romancita's house and she would care for him. She cooked him breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They became so close and I have always felt a special love for her. She could never know how much I loved her for loving my son. The day Bryce transferred from Parral back to Chihuahua Romancita was so sad. She just couldn't bare to see him go. She thought his comp would go but not him. He was scheduled to taxi to the bus and head out. Romancita wouldn't hear of it. She woke up early, cooked him breakfast and made 2 quesadilla's and wrapped them in foil for his "journey". She then drove him to the bus station (crying all the way there). They said their goodbyes and Bryce got on the bus. Bryce said as the bus was pulling away he could see her standing there still crying next to the bus. I just couldn't stand it! I know that pain of sending him off to a new place. I will love her forever. A few weeks ago Romancita suddenly passed away. I cried and cried when Bryce told me. I thought I'd meet her one day but now we'll be meeting in a different place. Bryce said he had a "feeling" he needed to call her. He called her and the person that answered the phone said she was in the hospital and couldn't talk. He kept having a nagging feeling to call again. He tried again a few days later and she had just been released and was able to talk to him. He had no idea how sick she really was but I think Juvenal gave him a heads up (not sure). She told Bryce he was the only one who hadn't called her yet and she had been waiting for him to call. Two days later, she passed. Bryce was very sad but said he is happy for her because all she wanted to do was preach 24/7 and share the gospel and now she's in a place where she can do that.</span></div>

I have seen and learned in this past week, that first, God is perfect and that his plan is perfect. I saw and learned this by returning to Delicias, my least favorite place of the mission, with elder Alarcon, the only companion that I really felt we didn't get along. Well now my perspective has completely changed. Delicas is wonderful. This last week was really good with my companion actually! We were able to fix things and actually be friends. It was an amazing change that we saw in ourselves and I know God is happy that we were able to fix it. That was a miracle for me. I am happy that we had the opportunity to fix things and that now I can say that I have not had a companion that I have not loved or served.</div>

He was transferred from Chihuahua back to Delicias. He's been trying and working hard but this transfer was unexpected. Bryce has rarely ever reported anything negative but this was a hard transfer for him. Delicias is his least favorite city from the entire mission and he was lucky enough to get a repeat companion. (One of his most difficult companions). Perhaps he didn't get things right the first time he was there and he gets a second chance to rewrite his experience in this area and with this companion.<br />
<br />
President told him this would be his final area of the mission. He asked Bryce to study and learn the area well because he will be receiving a brand new missionary on Monday. Bryce will be training this new Elder for the next 12 weeks as he finishes out his service in Mexico. There will not be any new Americans arriving in Chihuahua with this cycle of newbie elders so they should all have the language down. We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of this new companion and the changes coming up.<br />
<br />
Bryce hasn't sent pictures the past two weeks but I have pics the week before he left Chihuahua. I've <span style="background-color: #666666;">learned that no pics means he's not his happy, usual self. </span><br />

Elder Parry, Elder Mendez, Elder Mucino, Bryce Not sure what they are doing here to Mucino but I believe this was his last transfer and he returns home this upcoming week. I will always love Mucino since he was the one that collected Bryce as a greenie and trained him for 12 weeks. Mucino is an amazing guy! These are all the elders he's been companions with or has trained. Fun reunion to all be in the same zone for a short time.<br />

This week two sister missionaries in Bryce's Zone had some type of evil spirits in their house. The elders were called in to bless the house. Bryce said the house had the most unexplainable, horrible feeling inside. They blessed the house and returned the next day and took pictures and he said the evil feeling was gone. I was lucky enough to be sent a video that said, "Viewer discretion advised". Yes, it was wonderful. It was a video of dead cats on the side of this house and all things that go with no longer living creatures. Bryce was the lucky one that got to clean it all up and dispose of the mess and wash the yuck away with a hose after the clean up. I'm so happy he was kind enough to take a video of the clean up and share it with me (Insert sarcasm here) </div>

Bryce stayed in Chihuahua with transfers. He got to keep his companion Elder Sanchez and they work together well. Transfers brought some new and prior friends. Elder Parry (from Utah) arrived to the mission and is in the same zone as Bryce. Elder Mucino also was transferred into the zone. Mucino was Bryce's first companion and trainer and Bryce is happy to spend time with him. Mucino will be ending his mission in 11 weeks. Elder Perry is lucky to have him.</div>

Last week Bryce and Elder Sanchez found a family that was beside themselves. They lost their business and had zero resources to get their belongings out of the business to a place of storage. They found a neighbor that had a truck and together they spent a day clearing out the business and helping the family. Randomly that same Sunday the entire family showed up to church. Bryce was so surprised because it usually takes much effort to bring a family to church. They showed up all on their own and that was such a happy day for Elder Sanchez and Bryce.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A second thing Bryce was grateful for last week was hot water!! Their hot water heater gets frozen every night and since he is the tall companion, he gets the honor of climbing on the roof every freezing morning. He pours water down a pipe while Elder Sanchez turns on the boiler. A neighbor taught them a trick to cover the pipe a certain way and now they get hot water without climbing the roof each morning. :)<br />

Bryce is starting to feel the wind up of his mission and is focused on working as hard as he can and leading the zone with full focus. He's familiar with missionary life at this point and nervous about returning to normal life. I told him to let us worry about that part and he could just worry about the mission. He said, "Deal".</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">WEEK 82 - LOTS OF SWITCH UPS</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
This is a photo intensive post! The Elders were in mid cycle week 81 and Bryce emailed home saying there were changes in his District. Shaw went home so there was need for an Elder in Parral. That meant Templeton was taken from the Delicias district and moved to Parral. This meant Templeton's comp was now solo so they took the comp from another Elder that returned home and paired him with Templeton's comp in Delicias. (Still with me?) Bryce was kinda bummed Temps was changed to a new area. He liked having him in the district. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Week 82 rolls around and 5 days after Temps leaves, Bryce had emergency changes also. Bryce was moved from Delicias to Chihuahua and is serving in the Chuviscar Zone. The Zone Leader in Chuviscar was ill and they needed a replacement. (Thanks to Juve for the quick text to me telling me my son had moved). So I have no idea who will move in to be comps with Elder Lopez. The end of the cycle and real changes are in two weeks. I'm sure it will all be sorted out then.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This makes comp 14 for Bryce. That's a lot of moving around! Also on a sweet note. We mailed Christmas gifts to Bryce and to his comp Elder Lopez (He is from the Dominican Republic). Bryce also purchased a few things for him in Mexico. It was heartbreaking and endearing at the same time to hear this was the first time ever Elder Lopez had received a gift on Christmas! I'm so glad we had the inspiration to postpone mailing the package until we knew which comp Bryce had. We were able to send items of the correct size. Bryce said Elder Lopez had tears in his eyes and wore his new jacket all Christmas day. In the photo below I see he's even wearing it out while they are having ice cream. We meant it for a pday/casual jacket but we are just happy he loves it so much!<br />

It was so cold and it snowed alllll daaaay. We had planning so we were in the church, but working after was crazy. So we walked in the snow and played a little bit until it got too cold. I had temps and his comp sleep over Thurs night so we could leave to get to the bus stop early and on time at 8. When we get there they tell us we can't leave until the police have checked the roads and cleared them for ice. Then we wait 2 hours to leave, and the buses were full so some of us stood. It's usually a little more than an hour trip, but the roads were backed up for the ice, so it took 2 1/2 hours to get to Chihuahua. So we stood in the bus for the ride then when we got there, we ate, went to clean a church building and practiced the choir. The worst part was that I've had a cold because they gave us flu shots, so I've been waking up really stuffed and feeling it in the throat, and everyone was the same so we were really worried about the choir. but we practiced it and Sunday it turned out really stinkin good! It was the best it ever sounded, but we couldn't record it... but we were all posed for the pic with Elder Oaks waiting, and we could all literally feel when he arrived and was outside. it was nuts. It was a force that could not be denied. Then his message he gave was intense too. He's so clear in his teachings and he says it with such power I was blown away. Then Sunday we got to the conference center where they held the second meeting, and it was soooo full of people. I saw lots of members and missionaries, but after wards I saw all of my converts and their families and the cool families from my mission and I was on cloud 9. it was a superb weekend. </span><br />

H</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">e came to say goodbye to another missionary that leaves tomorrow. It was funny because i was getting to the assistants house and then he pulls up and gets out. I was shocked. jaja. It was so cool!!!! This was Bryce's Ward Mission Leader in Parral but most importantly one of his best friends. <i>I found out the Elders in Delicias will be traveling down to Parral for Christmas Day. I'm so excited! Christmas with family. He'll also get to reunite with Elder Shaw and Requena. What a fun Christmas Day and a great reunion.</i></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">Ok so I'm in Delicias, to the east side of Chihuahua, but not so far as to pass Parral. So it's flat here and I've only been here for 30 minutes. (<i>I think this is the first city Bryce has been in where there aren't mountains to climb). </i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">So anyways on Saturday we were in the church all day for baptisms. We had the baptisms of the sisters at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_890560171" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">10am</span></span>, so we were down there early making the baptismal programs and getting the font ready and all of that jazz. I baptized the oldest, and the zone leaders baptized the other two. We then left after the service and all of the small talk and congratulating and went to eat, then came back for our baptisms at 4. There was a problem with the clothes, because the jumpsuit we had didn't fit the kid, so we had to put his white shirt on and put it over the legs of the suit. It was pretty funny and it was such a powerful service! The testimony of the Mom that got baptized and her brother, who baptized her were so strong and everyone was crying. and in the talks before hand, the daughter that is already a member shared a talk and her testimony and everyone was crying then too. I didn't cry but the spirit was so strong that it was crazy. Made me think a lot of Doctrine and Covenants18: </span></div>

We did get to go practice for the choir at Presidents house! and we watched the Christmas devotional there too! That was super powerful. We then spent the night at the Assistants house so we could get up early Monday morning and practice all day and prepare more for Elder Oaks.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Bryce has been super busy and is continuing to serve in Cuauhtemoc, Mexico. The weather has finally turned cold and I see many more pictures with full suits.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Some of his experiences in the past 9 weeks. Bryce and his companion had dinner with a family that are in his branch. A few days later there was a fatal car accident in front of his apartment. He witnessed all the emergency teams, crashed vehicles, etc. That night at 3 a.m. his phone rang. He was asleep and it was an unknown number so he ignored it. A little while later, his phone rang again but this time he answered. It was the father of the family he had eaten dinner with a few days earlier. The man on the other end told Bryce that his daughter was in a horrible car accident and had passed away earlier that night. He asked if Bryce and his companion could please come over to the house and give his wife and the family blessings of comfort. Of course, they got up, got dressed and walked in the middle of the night to offer these blessings. Bryce said it was really hard to watch how quickly a life can be taken and to see the effect on the family. He has since been able to continue contact with this family and do his best to help them through the grieving process.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">More recently (this week) he had the opportunity to baptize a sister that has been trying to get the courage to be baptized for an entire year. She is deathly afraid of water so she couldn't imagine going under the water to be baptized. Bryce was able to comfort her and walk her through it and prove he was tall enough to save this short, sweet woman should she get lost in the water. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Sunday the AP's (Assistants to the Mission President) called Bryce and told him he would need to take a bus to Chihuahua the next morning (1.5 hour bus ride). Turns out about 14 missionaries were selected to sing a hymn for Elder Oaks that is coming to visit the Mission on December 9th. They put together a special choir and Bryce will be traveling to Chihuahua every Monday until December 9th. He said the practice for severl hours each Monday and then ride the bus back to Cuauhtemoc. He is excited for Elder Oaks to be coming to Mexico and honored to get to sing for the occasion. Bryce was also happy to meet up with many of his past companions and said he didn't realize how much he had missed some of them until he saw them again (at the choir practice). He got to spend time with Elder Mucino! Mucino was Bryce's very first companion when he arrived in Mexico so they have a special bond. He also mentioned seeing Elder Lito Martinez who was also one of his very favorite comps oh and he said he was super excited to see Elder Epperson also. Not a comp but a connection in some area at some time :) </span></span><i><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">I'm starting to have a hard time keeping them all the connections figured out.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">Last note we got this week was Bryce had his first migraine of his Mission. It happened last Thursday. They were in Chihuahua having a training meeting with the Mission President and Bryce could tell his eyes were not okay. He has struggled with migraines as a teen and we were concerned about them on his mission but he was able to go 17 months before he had his first one! That's a blessing. He carries the meds with him in his bag but said it's been so long since he had a migraine that he was afraid to take it. </span></span><i><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;">That's when these elders need a Mom to tell them what to do.</span></span></i><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: inherit;"> So he took nothing so of course he lost his vision, his arms and legs went entirely numb and his speech got all crazy. (His migraines mimic a stroke) Not sure if the other elders knew what was going on but he's lucky they didn't carry him off to the hospital). He said he felt pretty lucky to be able to go a year and a half without any. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">That's all this mom can think of for now. Just that he loves the area of Cuauhtemoc. It's his favorite area of his mission and he loves the people. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: white;">Hello everyone! This week was pretty interesting for us here in good ol Cuauhtemoc, Chihuahua! First off it kept raining and we got soaked. Again. It has been raining so much here and I'm loving it! I finally escaped the heat a bit so that has been nice! We have been focusing on some of our investigators that we haven't been able to find recently and it has been going well! We are teaching really good lessons and are getting ready for some baptismal dates with our investigators. We are also finding some new investigators and progressing with them little by little!</span></span><br />
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"><br />Also this week there was a death in the branch. A member passed away Wednesday so that took up a lot of our time because my branch president asked us to help sing at the funeral home 2 days in a row and help prep for the funeral itself. We were helping for a total of 3 days with all of the stuff so we were really busy for that event! More than 400 people showed up and filled the whole place where the funeral was held! Most of the presidency of the branch spoke and President Montoya came and spoke as well. So that was good to hear their words of counsel to the family (a wife and 3 kids) to help them heal and remember the Hermano.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"><br />I didn't vlog very much this week either... but heres a little tour of a park by my area! and some pics of the cuauhtemoc sign! </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"><br />Hope you all have a great week!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I've been feeling really good lately about everything in general!

Sometimes they want to talk, sometimes no, but I feel good following the spirit!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My favorite things about the mission so far: I would say each of the families that I've gotten to know. Being with them, baptizing some of them and just the times in each area that I have shared with some of my favorite people here. People I never ever would have known if I didn't come on a mission.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;">This week we had a baptism of our investigator Maria! Everything went great and she started crying after she came out of the water! It was so sweet and the spirit was so strong in that baptism. I honestly feel that when I go down into the water with investigators, I get cleansed as well from the special spirit that is there and I always feel great coming out of a baptism.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #666666;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I wanted to share an experience from Sunday that I had. We were just coming out of our meetings, or finishing the third hour, and we were talking to someone, when someone taps me on the shoulder and asks if I'm busy. I told him no, and then he tells me a sister needs a blessing. I say ok and grab my comp to find her. We then went into a classroom and asked what was going on. She said her circulation isn't doing well and her veins were bursting in some places and she just ended up not feeling well at all. So my comp anointed and I sealed the blessing. I honestly don't even remember what I said apart from one line, which really impacted her too, which was something like <b>the Lord will never give you anything too hard to handle </b>(more or less because spanish). But after we finished the blessing, she had tears dripping down her face and the spirit was so strong in that room. She then said that it was right, that the Lord will never give us struggles too hard to bear. That was what really hit me this week and that was my experience of the week!<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

We also were able to meet the Fardos Family. Their son Elder Fardos is currently in Chihuahua serving alongside Bryce. They were gracious enough to invite us into their home for a few days. They also took us on a lake trip. The company and weather were perfect!</div>

Elder Fowler surprised each family with a gift from Bryce and Nick (Elder Fardos). He brought each of us back a nametag from our elder. Such a sweet moment. It was the best gift ever!</div>

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";">My week was alright. The
baptisms fell through from Sunday, <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">we had 3
people in church, but none of the potential baptisms came. We ended up leaving
4 of the investigators because they aren’t progressing and don’t want to do
anything. </span>The other investigator went to another city for 2 weeks so she’s
not going to be baptized for at least another month. But I’m not worried about
it at all! I told President in my letter that’s what happened and I’m not
stressing! We have a lot of other investigators
that we are excited to teach and bring to church so we will be working a lot this
week to help them a lot!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

on finding more and on those we had found before but hadn’t followed up with a

around. Martinez and I get a long really well and that’s helped a lot with
things. We just always joke around and are goofing off in a good way and work
really hard and well together. Physically I haven’t felt better and emotionally
and spiritually I’m doing great! Oh and the paint people gave us each a statue
to paint so we chose Pokémon!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

cockroaches and that’s what we were cleaning up. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We made sure to scrub ourselves

last week we were sitting at our contact park when a truck pulled up and
started unloading things to sell in the park. We didn’t know what they were but
went and helped. Turns out they were ceramics and they sell those and put out
tables and chairs and supplies to paint the ceramics. We helped them Friday,
Saturday, Sunday and then this weekend too. Turns out the lady in charge of the
business has a Book of Mormon from almost a year ago, and we talked to her
about religion and stuff yesterday. She told us our help has really impacted
her and her family. They’ve felt more peace and tranquility and have even
talked about how wave helped them. It was really amazing to me that they took
so much from our little example of kindness. She even wants to give us one
figure each to paint. We’re going to
take a pic with them on Friday in the park! That’s like 6 acts of
service counting the days that we served. We usually just set up and leave, or
contact the customers then leave, but yesterday we stayed and talked about the
Book of Mormon and religion in general. She seems really interested actually! The park is really close to our house and it’s
where we contact almost everyone we meet. They always come at the same time, so
we would always be there contacting and help them unload when they show up.</span></span></span></span></div>

Joseph Smith was a prophet and that the Book of Mormon is the most true and

so happy to finally have a baptism you have no idea! It was stressful, but
worth it in the end! I’m not very good
at expressing emotion through typing... but I’m super happy, super content and
ready to keep baptizing. We want to get at least 2-3 more before changes, because
I don’t think I’ll have another transfer with my companion, honestly.</span></div>

this week was a lot harder physically than most, because it is getting hotter,
so I learned a lot about 1. Sunscreen 2.
How to persevere 3. That it’s all worth it in the end. This has been one of the
sweatiest weeks I’ve ever had, and oh man I’m not looking forward to another
one! But it is raining right now so that’s nice! We have been working really hard to find new
investigators and make sure that the 6 we have are ready to be baptized the
17th, so that’s what we’ve done all week. In a lesson with one of them we
shared some powerful stuff from Acts 2, and Alma 32, and it was so powerful to
me the way it came out and the way the spirit guided us. Our testimonies finished
it and I haven’t felt power in a lesson like that in a while!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

enjoying my time here and making the most of it, every second! I wouldn’t want
to be anywhere else right now and I’m so glad I have you guys rooting for me back

Ramoncita, Juvenal, Esteban - connected hearts for life<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">I have mixed feelings about being transferred.
I’m sad that I left Ramoncita and Junvenal, but I’m also kind of happy for
another fresh start. We had kind of
grown stagnant there and no one was really progressing like we wanted. I’m one
zone over from Fowler I think, but I don’t know if he got changed... I don’t
think so but who knows?</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We came home last night and told Ramoncita that I had changes
and she was shocked. she thought my comp
would be going and that I would stay. They both told me that they wish I
stayed. She was almost crying it was so sad. But on Friday we went to
Centro to buy her gifts for Mother’s Day since her kids don’t really visit her.
We bought her a watch, some earrings and a picture frame to put the pics that
we took to remember us. After we gave her the gifts then she started crying. It was so sweet! I feel bad I couldn't get Juve
anything else, but I’ll look here in Chihuahua and then add it to the package
you send for him. But Ramoncita woke up early this morning too and made me a
shake to take and some quesadillas to eat on the bus and then drove us to the
bus station. She was crying when I had to get on the bus and she was waiting
looking in when it passed. Ugh! It made
me so sad that she was so sad! The both of them are people I need to come back
and visit, either in the mission or after!
</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Would you be willing to come back with
me?</span></span></div>

Or better said I left it with Elder Requena because I didn’t have a chance to give it to him yesterday or today, because I didn’t know I had changes, and I left at like 7 this morning for Chihuahua. I signed the tie and left it for him in Parral. I could tell he was super sad but he didn’t want to show it. He called me this morning too, right before I left and wished me luck and to keep working hard. He and Ramoncita both were really sad. Juve was never assigned to me technically but he was my companion for two weeks when Elder Morgan was sick.

I read the accounts of these three people that he has made a forever connection with. He has touched their lives in some way only they can understand and they have touched his. Bryce was promised he was sent to find specific people that would know him by his heart and not his face or words. I have to ask? Are these those sweet people? Are there more he will find? It's these forever connections and love for the friends of Chihuahua that are so precious. I will always love Ramoncita that in my absence loved my son as a mother would. She was the one that helped him when he was so sick, she fed him, lifted his heart, and took him in as a son. As a mother how do I ever repay that debt? I have so much gratitude for this dear woman. Then Juvenal! Bryce found Juve when Juve was at a low and together, they did great things. Bryce was able to lift Juvenal and in turn Juvenal and Bryce became best of friends. They helped lift each other and I love that. Lifelong memories were made with those two. Then Esteban, out of nowhere sends this letter of gratitude for Bryce. I'm not sure what their connection was but it's another example of his heart blazing the trail. (Sorry I sort of hijacked Bryce's blog there but it's a moment of peace I must journal). The mission is about the journey and those touched and the seeds left behind. Parral was the most difficult area Bryce has served in. Through sickness, few leads, feeling left and abandoned at times, emergency zone changes, it put Bryce to the ultimate test. I have learned although the most difficult thus far on his mission, this area was truly the most rewarding in regards to falling in love with the sweet spirits in Parral, Mexico. </i></span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Everything has improved a ton this
past week, so I’m excited to keep working and developing the area. We’ve been
practicing with Juvenal how to teach Jehovah’s Witnesses because there were a
ton in his mission and he knows how they think and what scriptures they pull
out and how they answer questions. It’s been interesting and it’s been helping
our teaching a lot! <i> (Juvenal is the Ward Mission Leader and he has been such an amazing blessing in our lives here at home. He has been the mouthpiece to keep us informed of Bryce's health and to be our lifeline. Turns out he went to Elementary School two miles from our house in Mesa, Arizona. He went to Mexico on his Mission then back to Parral where he grew up) He has been such a tender mercy during hard times. Love Juvenal!!</i></span><br />

these last two weeks there have been special changes and they took out one of
the District Leaders in my zone. So the
whole zone is my district. It’s been interesting and a bit stressful honestly. The
good thing is that it’s a small zone (12 people), but I have almost the entire
work load. Basically the Zone Leaders were having me be the mouthpiece and it
was hard since I’m the only District Leader in the Zone. But now they are
helping more until the changes and until we see if we get another District
Leader. As a mouthpiece I mean</span><span style="background-color: white;"> they tell me something and I do it, or I tell the
whole zone what that is. Like a zone activity or if we need to do something
then it was me making all the phone calls and telling everybody. </span><span style="background-color: white;">It has been a blessing though because I’m
being forced to manage and handle a lot more than I’m used to. So we’ll see
what the Lord has in store for me soon.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

week there were special transfers in the mission, and they took out the other
DL(District Leader) in my zone, so I'm the only DL in my zone, and I have the whole zone in my district. It's weird and it's a lot of work, but they took out a lot of the lazy missionaries and the missionaries that didn't work very hard, so we have a lot of potential right now.

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">My companion and I are getting along really well and we have a baptism planned for Saturday! We are going to baptize a sister named Cruz who we’ve been teaching since the last changes, and she is super cool! She can’t read but she loves coming to church and Ramoncita helps us take her to church on Sundays because we live really close to her. (This will be the first baptism Bryce has had if it all goes as planned).</span><span style="background-color: white; color: white; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">I have no idea how
many are leaving or coming or anything like that, but I think it’s a good
amount that are going home. (Many
missionaries are almost at the two year mark and will be going home over the summer
months). Yeah a lot of the leadership is going home soon so it's going to be a lot of adjusting and moving around in two weeks.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I still haven’t gotten
better from last week sadly. But we found some really cool families that accepted
baptism... but didn’t come to church, so we have to keep working on that. I
worked with members a lot in the beginning of the week, then got sick Thursday and
couldn’t do anything, then went back to
the area of the Zone Leaders.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">I’ve still been
working a ton while being sick, so feeling healthy would make things so much
easier. Elder Morgan came to Parral for a conference with President Montoya so
I was able to rest at our house for two days this week. <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">It was good to have the two days of rest though because I really did
need them. I would take my meds in the morning when I woke up and pass out
again until like 11! It was crazy. Elder Morgan went back to Chihuahua so</span>
I’ve been working with the Zone Leaders again.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">I still don’t have a companion, but a missionary who is returning to the field is coming soon, so I’ll have a comp until Saturday when Elder Morgan is supposed to come back.President doesn’t know what’s going to happen with Morgan yet, so it could a week long companionship, or it could last longer. I honestly have no idea. We have no idea when the new companion is coming. He's here in Chihuahua, but when he comes to Parral is a different story.</span></div>

(3 hours)<br /> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">This has been a super crazy week holy cow! We worked Monday night and Tuesday, and then on Wednesday we rode the bus to Chihuahua. My companions ankle was still hurting him from a few weeks ago when he sprained it so we had to have the doctor take a look at it. We were on busses all day and didn’t do anything. He was told to stay and rest. We then rode the bus back to Parral. So I’ve been staying with the zone leaders from Thursday until today. Elder Morgan had to bus back to Chihuahua on Thursday and stay in the mission offices to rest. I haven’t been able to work in my area hardly at all. We didn’t get to bring anyone to church because we couldn’t commit anyone on Saturday, and I’ve been sick all week. It’s been fun :)</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">We don’t really have any future investigators right now...:/ We have people that we’ve contacted, but it’s been hard to follow up with them and get in their houses. The good thing is, on Thursday we have a zone conference and I hope Morgan is coming back. I don’t know if he’s going to stay and work. Depends on what the doctor says this week about his ankle. If he does stay, I’m pretty sure we can get back to work and finish out the week well. . I’m staying with the Zone Leaders for as long as I don’t have a companion, and I haven’t been in my house since Thursday.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I’ve been sick all week and stressed trying to do everything in my area by myself, and not being able to work in my area very much. I’m feeling a lot better physically today and we are getting more members to help us and plan to do more with the members of my branch, so this week should be good.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">We haven’t been able to do many visits. I did take some members on splits on Friday, but no one was home to visit. It’s really hard to do a visit in my area then go to the area of the Zone Leaders, then back to mine. I’m hoping we can take a lot more members out on splits to work more in my area like normal.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">If I take a member then I can go and contact people in my area. If we don’t have a member to help, I have to go in a trio with the Zone Leaders. I have definitely learned a lot on how I can be a better leader and do more in my area by being with the Zone Leaders. <img src="" />But I’ve been talking with the branch president and the elders quorum president about going on visits with home teachers and visiting their less active families in hopes of reactivating them, meeting/knowing more of the branch, and finding more references and people to teach and baptize.<br /> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">It’s not the house that bothers me it’s the fact that I can’t be working in my area and finding people. I think my Zone Leaders feel the same way, because we basically have 2 areas right now and it’s really hard</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">It’s not too far, but walking back and forth between my area and their area all day definitely wastes a lot of time. We did that a few times, but for like 30 minutes each time when we didn’t have appointments or plans. I have a suitcase there in their house right now with my clothes.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9YrmvAvsvyawWF7hfDegHcJfeu4tHqP63HPkxhnvnqn1Ez7BQYOEkqsOq4zN07pAaciq-3pFyhhlWyYDUUlmkpIhBxVsUxk1sZOlFuD8WC92Eq5pKEmrJ8kr3V_eGCoTYQXlpA5em7haZ/s1600/DSCN7917.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9YrmvAvsvyawWF7hfDegHcJfeu4tHqP63HPkxhnvnqn1Ez7BQYOEkqsOq4zN07pAaciq-3pFyhhlWyYDUUlmkpIhBxVsUxk1sZOlFuD8WC92Eq5pKEmrJ8kr3V_eGCoTYQXlpA5em7haZ/s320/DSCN7917.JPG" /></a></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I made kettle corn!! I’m enjoying my memories of kettle corn at home! I have a video. But I won’t be able to load it up in time so I didn’t load it up. But I was making kettle corn and showed that we had everything for it in the cupboards.<br /> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Not very many spiritual experiences to note this week, but I did talk to one of my zone leaders and studied with him D&C:76 and we had a good talk about what I can do to better my area and help my district more and that helped a lot. D&C:76 1–4, The Lord is God; 5–10, The mysteries of the kingdom will be revealed to all the faithful; </span></td></tr>

So I did it! I went up and "married" two couples, and asked them funny questions like if they still wanted to be married even though he was short, or she didn't want to cook, and everyone was laughing. It was fun! I'm not sure how it happened, but yeah it was all in spanish and all super funny. No one took pics or videos though so I was sad :(

W</span>e live where the window is above the street! Thats where we sleep. It's so nice having a closet again and a kitchen and an actual house you have no idea. We have everything to cook! There is another house up top I think but I'm not entirely sure <i>(Possibly residents in the part with the double windows)</i>. It was nice when we moved in to the store to finally have somewhere to live in the area, but after a while it sucked. It was a room with beds. <i>(The living arrangement in his last area was a store with two rooms in - no kitchen, cooking, closets, just empty rooms of a store).</i></span></span></div>

where the busses leave from to get to the station in Parral and left at like
5ish, and didn’t get there until like 7-7:30. When we got there we had to wait
for the other zone leaders to get there and call us taxis to get home. Then we
left, took my bags up to the house, then went out and walked the area a little
bit. Then we came home and I unpacked and got the district meeting ready for
today, and yeah went to sleep!</span></h4>

this week! I busted out the scarf Fowlers’ mom sent me and it was delicious! I’ve never used one before because it’s never
been cold enough and I've never had one. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">My nose got really cold

My comp and I talked for a couple hours last Monday
about what we should do to progress more, and while we were praying a thought
came to my head to start over and drop everyone. We basically dropped all of
our investigators and started over contacting and finding more people. We
contacted a lot and brought two people to church for the first time in nine
weeks! It was so exciting! Our plan is
to basically just talk to everyone and follow up more on those contacts. We’ve
also been working more with the ward asking for references and teaching with
members so that has been a huge help as well! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Yeah we haven’t
brought anyone to church in 9 weeks. When
I was in my other area, we never had problems bringing two or more every week. It’s
been really rough.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The
people we contact always live somewhere else, or don’t want anything. I don’t
know what president thinks about it just emailed him about it today. We’ll see
what he says next week. <i>I told him maybe
he’s just there to plant seeds that grow later</i> That’s what I was thinking
too, but that stinks being a planter. Plus
I want to stay another cycle or two to keep working in our investigators and
help them more. But we’ll see what happens in three weeks</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #666666; color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">We did meet up with
one lady that accepted baptism and the first two lessons, but she didn’t come
to church and I don’t know why. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">She said her
son was going to take her, and when we called in the morning she didn’t answer</span>. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> We couldn’t get a hold of
her after church.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

we are working hard. <!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype

much that we don’t have contacts, because we can keep trying for them every day,
what bums me out is when we have an investigator that after a few lessons doesn’t
want anything. That’s been a big issue here too.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
