All Protein Diet But Also Doing Carbs

First things first, if you don't get the title, that means I eat everything. All kinds of food. This week we had a zone meeting and each person/companionship brought their favorite type of cereal. Overall, there were 16 types of cereal, and I felt like I should try them all, so I had 16 full bowls of cereal. Definitely felt a bit wider after that, but it was worth it. Also, horchata goes really well with Cocoa Pebbles and Cocoa Puffs.

We also had stake conference this week and it was so cool. I actually think I prefer it in Spanish. Now, before you call me crazy, I didn't say I understood it better in Spanish, because I definitely didn't. But I really liked thinking and taking notes in Spanish, as well as thinking about what was said more intently so that I could understand better. Overall, a good experience.

Our friend Eduardo is doing so well and should be able to be baptized at the end of this month. He's going through a rough spot right now as he lost his job, but Elder Preece and I felt prompted to promise him that if he kept reading the Book of Mormon, kept praying, and kept attending church, he would find a job. Please pray that he can keep doing those things and find a job, also that he can be baptized at the end of this month.

Also, please pray for Gabby and Andres. They're both progressing pretty well too, but it's been tough teaching them around Andres' work schedule. I know that with faith and the desire, they can and will be baptized at the end of this month as well.

Not much more time, but I hope y'all know how much I love all the support and especially the emails y'all send. Sorry I can't respond individually today, but know I read them. People who email me individually are my personal heroes. (People who send paper letters are legends, but emails are super cool as well).

Never underestimate the power of prayer and the Spirit. It works miracles, and they're more common than you think. (I'll try and write more about that next week).

Until next week,
-Elder Teeples

Last week's email: "You finally had the noodle dream!"
Movie: Kung Fu Panda
-Po dreams about Kung Fu but lies and tells his dad it was about noodles. His dad then gets excited and says last week's title.

You're Not Invited To My Birthday Party!

Had my birthday this week, oficialmente tengo 20 años. No puedo creerlo. Sorry, but seeing as you all weren't here and I was doing missionary work, I unfortunately couldn't invite you to my birthday party. It all went well, though, and overall it was a pretty good day. Shoutout to Ruby, one of the members, for getting me a cake. We were able to help our friend Noe come to church this week, as well as his family, who are members and are coming back to church again! It's so cool to see how Noe's desire to be baptized is able to have that impact on his family and help them once again receive the blessings that come through Jesus Christ and His church. Things are going well with Noe, and he's getting baptized in two weeks! So hyped for him. Another cool thing is we were able to visit another part-member family and teach their daughter Emma. She remembers a lot and is super excited to get baptized as well! She eagerly asked her parents if she could become a member of Chr...

Did I Leave The Stove On?

If you remember, toward the end of my email last week, I mentioned a tropical storm was coming through Corpus. What ended up happening is it rained super hard for two days straight, drizzled a bit the next day, and then stopped. I had to stay inside most of the first day but was able to work the second and third, which was nice. After the rain stopped, it's been SUPER humid, which has made it really hot; hence the title this week. Not a whole lot to report on this week, but it wasn't a bad week. I got an online referral for someone named Addisun. What's significant is that under the category "topic of interest," she said baptism! When we called her and introduced ourselves, she sounded excited to hear from us. She told us she's actually been wanting to get baptized for a while now, which is super awesome to hear. A slight issue is that she also said she wants to have her baby baptized too, but we'll read some Moroni 8 and help her see why that's not ne...

I Am Your Father

That's right. The time has come. As of Saturday, I'm training and have a mission, son! His name is Elder Longson, and he's awesome. (He's even already got "son" in his name, how about that?) He's super awesome and already has such a strong and amazing testimony. He's seriously doing great sharing with everyone and promising blessings. It's really crazy to think a year ago I was in his shoes. It feels like I just came in. In case you're wondering, Elder Kuzmic didn't leave, and he's trio-ing it up with us! Definitely takes a load off of training in tech squad a bit since he's here to help out with tech stuff and be a good example to my greenie. This week, church went super great; we had 6 of our friends show up! Super hype. Our homie Mike came with his daughter Layla, and he even shared his testimony about the power of God during fast and testimony meeting. We talked with them a bit after, and they accepted baptismal dates for the 28...
