23 July 2019: Crazy Snot and an Unexpected Journey (part 2)

Hello all,

Another transfer has come and gone, and once again, I am packing my bags for a very unexpected journey. I found out yesterday that I will be leaving North Las Vegas, and Las Vegas in general, and going on an unexpected 6+ week journey to Henderson, Nevada, which is still in the Las Vegas valley. I will be serving in a Spanish branch there as well as an English ward there! I will also be a zone leader there with another native Spanish speaker from Chihuaha, Mexico! I am very excited to go there, albeit sad that I am leaving Mtn Shadows/Laurel Canyon, and Elder Dominguez. We had a baptism this past weekend, for Simona. It was awesome!! She was sooo happy! We also had a 2 day stake (large group of congregations) activity celebrating Pioneer day. It was really fun! 

As for the title of my email, we had a dinner on Sunday with a Hawaiian, family, and they were excited to feed us a meal named "Loco Moco" which in Spanish translates to "Crazy Snot". I thought that was funny. It was pretty good, basically rice, ground beef, brown gravy, and a fried egg, stacked on top of each other.

Love you all!

Elder Lovell

Simona and her son. Both Elder Dominguez and I had to be in the font so I could support her bad back while Elder Dominguez baptized her.

Pioneer days fun for all of the elders in the North Stake.

25 Feb 2020: "Call me maybe"

Image
Hello everyone! This week has been a week full of miracles! It was a busy one, due to transfer duties being taken care of. It's fun being in a trio, especially with a former companion of mine.  We had a pretty amazing experience on Sunday. We had just gotten home from church, and we got a call from someone, who asked if we would please come and teach her son. She had received a card from missionaries with our phone number on it about a year and a half ago, and her son was really struggling, and so her and her husband decided to call us to have us come teach their family. That never ever happens to us, and so of course we would! We went to their house, which was in a part of our area in which we didn't really go much because of the lack of Spanish speaking people there, but they lived there! We had the most powerful conversation with the family. This wonderful Sister and her husband were crying as we taught their son that yes there is a God, and that he was a son of God...

18 Dec 2018: ¿¡Voy a ser un líder de distrito?!

Image
Hola mi gente! Well, another transfer has come and gone and I will be.... Leaving Washington Avenue! Yesterday afternoon I also learned from a certain phone call from President that I will be the district leader in a new district! Who woulda thunk it! My new area is going to be two wards called Freedom Park and Christy Lane, and my new companion, who came out with Elder Troya, is from Honduras! His name is Elder Carpio, and he is fantastic! I'm so excited, and a bit nervous, but that's neither here nor there. If I learned anything from the past two transfers, it is that the Lord qualifies who he calls . That has been made very clear to me the past few months. He qualifies whom He calls. He has qualified me to be a trainer, and I know that if I am worthy of it, He will qualify me to be a district leader.  Oh yeah, Elder Troya is going to good ole Blythe, CA to be companions with our old zone leader, Elder Lawson. He is pretty darn excited. I re...

22 August 2018: Arrived in NV

Image
Hola mi familia! I just wanted to let you know that I arrived in Las Vegas safely! It was quite a beautiful drive, until we got into the city and I couldn't look out the window without looking back in the car again if you know what I mean... P days are on Tuesdays here, except for next week which it will be on Thursday.  I love you all!  Here is a picture of Elder Cluff and I before we would be separated forever... Traveling to NV today! Vegas here we come! No airport or plane needed ... this was our means of travel to get to NV  Note: The bottom three photos were sent to us from a random helper who took these photos and sent them to the missionaries' families on the day they traveled. It was great to get the update since we weren't able to communicate with Clark that day (aside from the note above that he sent us).
