He'll Keep Calling Me, And Calling Me

After all of our efforts and calls paid off, because our friend Rodrigo came to church and really liked it. The ward really helped him out and went the extra mile to talk to him and help him feel comfortable. I definitely think it helped him a lot, and it's going to help him in the long run and really help him on his path toward being baptized.

The weather this week was definitely better (not more swimming through the rain and coming home soaked). We found some cool people and got a nice build-up going in the area.

Unfortunately, our friend Gally wasn't able to make it to church this week, but we'll be following up with her and focusing on extreme efforts to really stop any doubts before they come up. Keep her in your prayers this week.

A fun thing that happened this week was we helped some inactive members move, and they gave us four bags of clothes, most of which were new. We got to go through it and get some pretty nice stuff. I now have like four new pairs of pants, some really nice polos, some golf shorts, a Champion hoodie, and some nice new t-shirts. Definitely a win.

Just want to end by saying that in the ups and downs of life, Christ really is the constant and the true fount of peace, truth, and love in all we do. Turn to Him, and you'll get through any doubts, issues, or shortcomings.

Love y'all,
Elder Teeples

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...
