Hasta La Vista Bebé 

Hey everyone! FELIZ NAVIDAD!!! It was so good to see everyone yesterday. 

I don't have a whole ton to say because I basically said it all yesterday, but I feel happy. I feel like I'm very satisfied with the mission that I gave to the Lord. It's been hard that's for sure, but very rewarding and I've learned a ton. Thanks for all of your love and support. 

I know this gospel is true and that Joseph Smith was a prophet. I love this Gospel and I'm so glad  I could be a missionary and I'll definitely miss being a missionary, but I have to finish strong these last days that I have here. 

I love you all and wish you all a Merry Christmas from Apopa! 

Saluuuu Pues!!

Viva Apopa!

Hey everyone!

I hope you are all well and feeling the Christmas spirit this Christmas season.

I don't have much to say because the week was kinda normal jaja. One thing's for sure, opening areas is dang hard- You usually don't see a lot of results for a a few weeks. We've been busy contacting a bunch of new people and trying to train my son so he can be fairly self reliant since I leave 2 weeks before the change ends. He's doing good and me too. But I'm kinda sad that my mission is coming to an end. It went by so fast. And this week there won't be a whole ton of time to work due to all of the Christmas activities from the mission and from the ward, but I made a promise to finish strong and not have regrets, so I'm gonna work hard until my last day.

I hope you all are doing good and just know that I have a strong testimony of this church and of missionary work and I'm so glad I made the decision to come on a mission.

I love you all and I wish you all a great day and week!

Saluuu Pues

Arriba Abajo (Up and Down)

Hey everyone! It's good to read everyone's emails and to know that everyone is doing good.

Everything in Apopa is going great. I'm still getting used to some things, but I really like it here,

On Thursday we had interviews with Presidente Durán and after, I did interchanges with Elder Hernandez from Mexico. It was a great interchange. Then on Saturday we had an activity in Sta Lucia Ilopango and Elder Butler also had to have a surgery so I stayed with Elder Orozco and Elder Dorny went with Elder Butler to the hospital. Elder Orozco and I had a blast and maybe we didn't go to bed until 3 am 😁.  On Sunday Elder Orozco woke up throwing up and so we got to church late (here we have church at 7 am!) . Elder Butler got back with my compa at about 3 PM. It was an eventful week!

Anyways, we're all good and hard like always jaja (;

I love you all and wish you all the best week!

-Elder Loveless

Best and Worst of the Past Week:
Best-We forced interchanges with Elder Orozco!
Worst- We didn't have a ton of time to work in our area.

Last change...in Apopa!

Hey everyone! I hope you are all good!

Well this week has probably been one of the craziest weeks of my life. I received my new companion on Wednesday. His name is Elder Dorny from Mapleton Utah. He's a good kid. He reminds me of Elder Palmer because he's super tall and kind of shy jajaja. But he's awesome.

We are opening the area of Apopa 2 where Elder Palmer started and finished his mission so everyone thinks that's super cool when they find out he trained me. (You're famous Elder Palmer!)  It's super hard opening an area. A lot of contacting. But that's fun. We'll see how it goes. Also Elder Butler (my other son) and Elder Orozco are my Zone Leaders and are in our ward so it's a party always. jaja. This week was a good one. We contacted a lot of people and we also went and decorated less actives' houses for the Christmas campaign Light the World. That was fun. Yesterday we also watched the Christmas devotional which I really enjoyed.

You'll all have to forgive me..there was a pequeño percance (small mishap) and I won't be able to send pics...until I'm home..😁

But we're all good here.

I Love you all and wish you guys a great week!

Con amor, Elder Loveless
