I'm pregnant?!?!

-


Alrighty it's been a crazy week so far, I will explain the subject in a bit. This week was Elder Shelley's Birthday, the big 20, so we had a mini party with all the elders, built some Legos, and ate lots of junk. Lots of fun. Sadly the next day everyone but me got a little sick, it hit my companion, Elder Johnson, the hardest.

So as Elder Johnson was sick I had to do some teaching on my own, which went decent. My Spanish has improved so much, a few of our investigators have commented on it. But ya the lessons went well, and I could somewhat answer their questions. On top of all this we got one of our friends to commit to baptism!!!! She has a long way to go, but she is so awesome and so willing to learn.

OK, so to explain the subject. In the mission you are called a “son” to the person who is training you, and he is called your  “dad”. So technically I still have 6 weeks of training left, but I got called as a trainer starting tomorrow. So I will have a “son” soon, thus I am pregnant. Super excited to train this dude, hopefully he speaks more Spanish than me. We will see, hopefully he's a sweet dude.

Anyway, keep it up guys. God is always looking out for us and Christ is always there to aid us in our goal for growth and perfection. I was thinking while I did this horrible puzzle yesterday, this would be quite near impossible if I didn't know what the puzzle was supposed to look like. This is kinda like prophets, they are able to see so much more than we can and through the power of God. They help us put the puzzle of our lives together. Sooo... listen to prophets, amen. Today was wack, so promise next email will have more details love ya guys.

Elder Porter out!

Farewell Talk

Hello, I’m Merik and I'm a recent graduate from independence high school. I will be set apart as a full time missionary tonight and have been called to serve in Eugene, Oregon speaking Spanish. As I’m sure the other departing missionaries can attest, the last few months have been filled with paperwork and endless interviews with President Kats and my dad, the bishop. There was a set of interviews for sending off my missionary papers, then another set of interviews for preparing to receive the Melchizedek priesthood, and a final set of interviews to enter the temple to receive my endowment. By the end of all these interviews, I felt like I was prepared to start interviews myself. *****Initially as I went through these interviews, it felt a little bit like we were having the same conversation over and over again.  But as I reflect back, I realize that many of the commitments and promises I was preparing for had a lot of overlap and were purposely trying to help me grow a little bi...

 January 30, 2023 This week was a little rough, but we're we're able to have a lot of success. A good friend had to go home early but luckily he has the opportunity to come back in a few months so that's super exciting. Also our good friend Edwin will be having his baptism pushed back but he just wants to make sure he knows enough before he commits, so not a bad thing. But we also put a friend named Jarrón on date and the other guys he lives with are soon to follow they just want to learn more. It is so exciting to see their desire to learn. Lest week we found a Magic store so that's a ton of fun and sadly will become a money drain... Very dangerous for me haha Our new missionaries in the zone will definitely mix things up but in general our focus will just be to support our District leaders and help everyone increase there want to serve. Spiritual thought A lot of the time the sacrament is our next ordinance that we will do as members. And we often look back on our fee...

 December 12, 2022 This week was awesome! For starters, we put Yoanni, one of our investigators from Venezuela, on date! The original day was for the 14th. He's awesome, for our last lesson on the plan of salvation he was teaching half of it, and it was super great, he is definitely ready. On top of that we had a baptism on Sunday. Went well I got to baptize, sadly I dropped her haha. Yesterday I was also able to give the Holy Ghost to her, felt funny being told the words by the Branch President though like a kid in primary saying prayers. Also, Yesterday I got the news that I will be moving to Santa Clara, and I will be a Zone leader! Staying Spanish which is awesome and even better I'm getting back with my trainer so it's going to be wild. So excited, a little stressed with the new responsibilities, and very excited to see how this area does while I'm gone and hearing from my companions how the people are progressing. Lot happened this week busy day today packing and ...
