Week 42 - We have to be creative or we get bored.

Howdy y'all

This week was cool! We did a few things that stuck out. We did some service at the animal shelter, we mostly cleaned dog bowls for three hours. It was fun to talk and get to know the other missionaries better, but dang it was basically endless dishes HAHAHA! Other than that nothing much has changed. Life is crazy as a missionary during COVID, we have to find creative ways to get through each day, because without creativity life gets really repetitive.

But yeah, that was this week, nothing too great. If yall want to email me my email is andrew.delgado@missionary.org and I will try my best to respond to you on the next P-day.

Week 41 - Howdy Y'all!

Howdy Y'all 🤠


It's another great day here in Texas, besides COVID 19 getting worse and it always being in the 100°F every day, we are having a great time.

I was just transfered to a different area and different zone. So it was pretty sad to say goodbye to all the amazing missionaries I met in the last zone. I especially miss being with the Tongan saints. The Tongan people are so amazing, and I love them with all my heart. I have a feeling I'll be serving back in Euless with the Tongan people later in my mission. (Probably because I'm the only person in the mission who speaks "fluent" Tongan).

Anyways, my new companion is Elder Robbins. He is super cool and a really obedient missionary. Missionary work still awkward due to us not being able to see as many people in person, so we try to do the best we can through the means of technology. We still find ways to have fun and releive the stress of cabin fever.

Everything's doing good down here in the south. I truely love y'all and I hope y'all know that God and his beloved son, Jesus Christ love each and every one of you personally. I am so grateful for the Bible and the Book of Mormon, and I would urge you guys to get lost in the scriptures and enjoy them. The scriptures God has given us are here to bring peace, guidance, and to be an anchor in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Week 40 - I'm Going To Be a Zone Leader

Hello!

I've only been in Texas for 3 weeks and I'm already getting transferred. I'm really going to miss the Tongan wards and being companions with Elders Fifita and Taukeiaho. I'm going to the Fort Worth zone and where I will be a District Leader.  (That means I will oversea the work of about 6 other missionaries.) It'll be fun and a great new experience to be a leader in the mission. I'll be serving in an english area which is a bummer, but I have a feeling I'll be back in the Tongan areas again.


This week has been a good one. We tought a lesson about the restoration of the priesthood to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery in 1829. The lesson was good and the spirit was there! Other than that it's all been same old same old.

For P-day (our day where we have free time and catch up on shopping and chores) we played sports in the gym. It's fun to "get your wiggles out" every so often.

Sorry for the short email, but I love you all lots, and I hope ya'll have a good week.

PS: I forgot to mention it was the 4th of July this past week and we were in a parade.

Week 39 - We Went To Buc-ee's!

Hey Y'all!

It's another wonderful day here in Texas. Not much has changed since I have been here. The Corona virus is getting worse in Texas, so that stinks. That being said, we have to be more cautious about wearing our masks and stuff like that. As for the missionary work goes it's same old same old. We still use Facebook as our number one way of contacting people. It is difficult at times but also super rad.

For P-day we went to this gigantic gas station called Buc-ee's. It has over 100 gas pumps and looks like a mall inside. It is huge! We also got together with our zone and played sports.

I just wanted to leave you guys with saying that I love this work. I love serving others and sharing the true gospel of Jesus Christ. I hope you all have a splendid week, and I'll catch y'all on the flipside!

Love,
Elder Delgado
