Week # 50. Doors Miracle!


Hey Everyone!        

This past week was so rainy! And cold haha I had to break out my winter coat on the 4th if July haha Never thought that would happen.

Because of the rain talking to people in the streets and knocking doors wasn't very effective sooo it's a good thing we've been doing only Facebook for a year! The transition back to Facebook for a couple days wasn't too difficult haha

I'm sorry for all the folks on the west coast with the heat haha especially the people in Oregon haha I was in an attic at service and the people said it was 112 in there. I told Elder Jimenez that I wanted to try and stay in there as long as I could but I only last two minutes when I was like okay get me out of here haha never have sweat more in my life tho so that was cool

We've been hitting the real life missionary tracting when it hasn't been raining and I understand why we try to use Facebook more now cuz tracting is just the worst haha But we had a miracle! We were knocking and this dude answered and said he was actually interested in reading the Book of Mormon and me and elder Jimenez thought he was joking so my face probably looked less the pleasant and happy but elder Jimenez kept going and this man actually wanted to learn! It was soo cool! I put a genuine smile on my face and handed him two copies of the Book of Mormon! It was so cool! This book can change people's lives!

We got to have a super cool lesson focused completely on how God is our Loving Heavenly Father and I could testify about that all day long! He truly loves us each individually and it was so cool to see the spirit starting working on the lady! Pretty crazy stuff

1 Nephi 21:16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

I love this scripture because it's such a good testimony of Jesus Christ! Every time He looks at His hands, He thinks about us! There is no way He is not constantly with us making sure we're doing okay! I know He loves us so fully and wants us to be happy. I'm so grateful for the sacrifice that He made se we can be happy, not just in this life, but in the eternities to come.

Hey! Dont forget to say your prayers and read the Book of Mormon! I promise there's blessings!!

Have a good week! Happy 4th yesterday!

-Elder Bollar

Week # 84. Other cities & conference!

Hello Everyone! This week we had some good experiences so we can just hop right in!  We found that some earlier sisters had worked in a smaller city outside the main city and we decided that we we're gonna go out there and give it a go! I'll just say that was the best decision ever haha we basically got to knock doors for 5 hours straight to a bunch of people that were super willing to hear about Jesus. At one point we got to a house where this lady was washing clothes so we went up, introduced ourselves and asked if we could come back another day because she was busy and she goes, no no! Please sit down! I could never turn away representatives of Christ. My mind was blown!!! So we got to have a super amazing lesson with her right there At another door that we clapped, this older man of probably 80 years old life in him opened his window and we introduced ourselves and then he opened the front door and his son hurried to the door and was like "hey who are you guys!"

Week # 90. Weddings & New Friends!

Olááá Everyone!! We had some miracles this week!! First and foremost, our convert who got baptized two weeks ago, brought his whole family to church!! We were so proud of him!! We immediately went over and talked with them all and our convert goes "so let's mark some lessons right now, and let's have at least two lessons a week." I was so excited!! Not one but two lessons this week!! Then the coolest thing, we got to give him the priesthood :') It really made me remember of when I got it back at 12 and I had so many feelings!! This church is so true!! With the couple that's always so apt to change, we had a stressful week!! So we needed to take them into the city building with like 20 documents for EACH of them so we can get them married! Some how, by a miracle from God, they didnt have any problems!! It all went very smooth:) but then when they asked for my ID I whipped out my Utah Drivers license and they said that wasnt valid and I was like "are you ki...

Week # 88. Three Separate Beings

Image
Olá tudo mundo!! This week we taught a few more reinforcement lessons to our friends who are struggling with the word of wisdom, but these lessons were so good!! For one of our friends we talked about the vision of the tree of life. And when I shared what I thought, I talked about the verse that says: "And after they had tasted of the fruit they were ashamed, because of those that were scoffing at them; and they fell away into forbidden paths and were lost." So from that i talked about how it is the same with us! When we start to get a testimony of something, we learn that not following through with that thing is going down a forbidden path! And then that line "were lost". So SCARY! Basically I told him that now that he is gaining a testimony, he gets to have more blessings but live at a higher standard! And he said he is ready to stay off the Forbidden paths!! Then this week we started teaching a new couple!! Yall. I have never ever had anyone in my mission, pay at...
