The summer heat is real here!!! Iiiiiiiiiiii wanna soak
up the suuuuuuuuuuunnnnn.....
LECCIÓN DE LA SEMANA: Meeting your goals is all about
STRONG and STEADY. About a year ago, the area presidency raised their
expectation for mission performance to 100 baptisms per month. Since then, we
fought and fought and fought to have more success preaching the Gospel. We
worked together as a team and established Zone, District, and companionship
goals to reach the vision of 100. Just this last month of May, WE DID IT!!! On
May 29, 2018, the 100th convert was baptized in the mission, and I had the joy
of witnessing it. I want to share with all of you my joy and enthusiasm that
comes from hard, consistent, STRONG and STEADY work! I KNOW that God will help
us acheive our righteous goals if we will but have faith and produce good
works.

VALLADOLID IS BEAUTIFUL! I love being here. There’s a
tradition of Pork and Beans every Monday, which is delicious, and there are a
ton of other fattening foods, too. I asked President why he was so kind and
thoughtful as to send me here, and he responded, "I want you to ROLL home
to Utah." HAHA!
REYNA AND WILBERTH WERE BAPTIZED! I’ve never met such
intelligent kids in my whole mission! they did all their homework and memorized
everything in preparation for their baptismal interviews. Their parents, though
non-members, were very excited for their littluns.
Yesterday, Elder Marquez and I noticed some needs in
Tizimín, and we travelled about an hour north to help them. THE LORD BLESSED US
and we were able to witness the goodness and strength of the elders who serve
there. In total, we placed 7 baptismal dates.
I’m SO HAPPY TO BE HERE!!! Everyone tells me I’m an oldy
in the mission, but I feel as green as ever! I love to preach the Gospel. It’s
a universal solution to the problems we face in life. I have seen lifes change
as my investigators leave behind bad habits, sacrifice certain pleasures, and
align their lifestyle with the will of the Lord. Sometimes they have doubts,
but when they choose to move forward, they see MIRACLES!
That’s all folks! Have a great week for me!!
Love,
Elder Carson
