Grandpa Cornelio Montoya's Funeral


Today was Grandpa Cornelio's Funeral, he passed away early in the morning on January 1, 2019.  He'd been on hospice for several weeks and we were able to visit him before Christmas.  Ronnie read the obituary and gave remarks about his grandpa.  Ronnie and Vinny were both pall bearers (Josh was an honorary pall bearer).  It was a cold, cold day in Ft. Bridger, Wyoming.  We braved some snowy roads and snow storms the few days.

Week 8: Cow Eyeballs and 1st Blessing in Spanish

Then I had to give my first blessing in Spanish, it was really cool, my Spanish is not goo...

Monday-It is our P’day, we got up and had to hike our laundry to this lady, then after we met up with our district and we went on a hike close to the mountain I went to last P-day, after we got food and got to write! Later we had to help someone move a washing station into their house and it took 8 of us, it was really heavy! But we managed to get it in. Tuesday- we woke up and we had a district meeting, after the meeting we had divisions. Divisions are when you go with another missionary for 24 hours, I got to be companions with Elder Norales, he is from Honduras, and he's 24, he knows so much about the gospel and scriptures. He taught me a lot during the day, and helped teach me how to teach. He made me some really good Honduran food, so so good. Wednesday-I got to come back to my companion today, we got to go to this store today to get food, because we literally don´t have any food in our house, but after talking to E. Norales yesterday, he is the Zone leader and gav...
