76 More divisions than a math test

Yep...you already know this week was full of divisions!

Before I start, a good friend reminded me to be more clear about the "mission lingo." So I'll be better at that from now on #BetterLateThanNever

Divisions- also known as "splits," is when you temporarily switch companions with another companionships for training purposes, interviews, or when someone is sick or unable to work.

My comp got whatever I had a couple of weeks ago, so basically the whole week he was in the house while I was doing divisions with Elders Joachin and Cannon...two of my homies!

With that being said, the work has been interesting. We have had to work in both areas due to the divisions. So it's been hard trying to cover so much ground, but the reliable "Blue Baddie" (nickname of my bike) has been hauling me all over Caborca teaching God's children about Jesus Christ! It's been quite the adventure!

Update: Lluvia is progressing so well! She's so excited for her baptism in the next couple weeks. She has so much faith...like she's so willing to do anything so that she can follow Christ's example in her life. She has some challenges (like being 7 months pregnant at age 15) but her smile and happiness and desire to change is something that very much inspires me! 

Spiritual thought: Some good friends of mine are finishing their mission this week (shoutout Hermanas Beach and Rice) and one of them shared this scripture in their email from the Book of Mormon in 1 Nephi 10:18-19...


18 For he is the same yesterday, today, and forever; and the way is prepared for all men from the foundation of the world, if it so be that they repent and come unto him.

19 For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost, as well in these times as in times of old, and as well in times of old as in times to come; wherefore, the course of the Lord is one eternal round.

God is the same all the time. He has never changed and will never change. I love the promise in verse 19 that if we come unto Him, that the mysteries of God will be known unto us! Isn`t that such a great blessing? Knowledge, power, and wisdom= STRONG TESTIMONY!

Love you guys!
Elder Tyler Gregory

78 "not my will, but thine, be done"

Image
We read in Luke 22 about Jesus Christ atoning for our sins and suffering all pains, agonies, and heartbreaks for all of humanity in the Garden of Gethsemane. While he is suffering, he says to the Father (or God), "Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done."  Or in other words, Jesus was asking the Father to "remove [the] cup" from him so He could stop feeling the agonizing pain. But, He was willing to endure if it meant He was doing what God needed Him to do. Now I will never feel the pain or agony or heartbreak or any of the things that Christ felt in that Garden, but right now....I feel  what can maybe be considered a fraction of what He felt. As of last night, the church is sending home all foreign missionaries who are serving in Mexico due to Corona Virus concerns. So that means I'll be headed back to Virginia and be put in quarantine for a period of 14 days. There's a possibili...

74 Week "I only love my bed and my momma...I'm sorry!!!

Image
This past week was a bit of a rough one....it's not everyday that a missionary gets sick on his mission. It's even worse when you can't leave the house for a few days cause you can't do a whole lot except.....well...recover! But I'm feeling better and we're back on the grind so it's all good! Here's a few things about Caborca that one should know... 1) Imagine that you are in the middle of no where in the desert, and you see a random city....That would be Caborca 2) Caborca is super famous for their world class Asparagus. There's a bunch of farms here and a ton of people work on them. We are in harvesting season right now so it's pretty hectic. 3) In case I haven't mentioned before, it's the straight desert here. So we are always having to be careful with the flying sand and dust that's in the air. 4) People say the best tortillas are from Caborca....they're good don't get me wrong....but all of Sonora will have s...

75 Elder McGregory is back

Image
What's good?! Just wanted to give a quick update! Elder McGregory: So if y'all remember my good ole days in Magdalena, I was (somewhat) commonly known as Elder McGregory (nicknaming after the boxer/fighter Conor McGregor). Now it has come full circle...allow me to explain... Bobby: One day this random dude calls us up and just says, "Elders, my name is Bobby and I want to get baptized." We stopped whatever we were doing and met up with him immediately. He told us he has taken the lessons for 3 years but had never felt prepared until now. He lives in the area of the sister missionaries, so we passed the reference. It also turns out (oh by the way, this guy is HUGE) that this Bobby dude is the owner of a boxing gym. He always says that we can go to his gym whenever we want. So the week of his baptism, all (6 of us) of the elders here in Caborca went to train with him one afternoon just to show him that we care for him and that we're thinking of him. And we ...
