I'm doing awesome don't worry, missionary life is just trucking along. Time is flying by, and I'm continuing to study like a mad man!

The past few weeks have been relatively uneventful, playing basketball a ton, not teaching anyone new lately, but we finally got back in contact with quite a few of them!
The boys from Nicaragua are still a little dodgy, but it looks like some of the others we didn't have a ton of contact with are still down to learn. Our friend Felipe was on date for the 11th but sadly that fell through. We were able to give our friend Alexis a blessing and meet with him for the first time in months.

We actually did meet one new person her name is Stephanie, and she is a caretaker of some men with mental illness. She is so cool she just wants to know all about missionary work, and we got to teach her a bit, I have never had someone say yest to reading the Book of Mormon so excitedly! 

I've been able to give a couple blessings lately and it is so cool that we have that power because of Christ's restored church. It's always so special, and the spirit is just going crazy so that's always cool 😎 

Happy late Mother's Day! Shout out to Sadie for her Birthday last week! You are all awesome sorry I don't have too much to share, this is all so normal to me, I don't know what would be interesting haha.

Gracias por todos los mensajes durante la semana y por su apoyo! Espero que vayan bien y que pueden tener El Espíritu con ustedes siempre!

Feel free to message and ask questions about the work, who in teaching, or just life in general so I know what to talk about next time! Love ya!

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 ...
