Well I love you guys!  I am so glad to hear that you all are doing well!  Keep doing awesome!  You are all great examples to me!  That truck dad bought is awesome!  Ashley keep doing well in school!  Kj you have got a stellar truck, and keep doing your best in seminary!  Hailey keep on dancing!  Aja watch out for the ring!  Emily keep on scoring for me!  Mom and Dad you are great parents and have taught me a ton!  Thanks for your great Christlike attributes!  

To start of, This week has been great, we have seen a lot of blessings this week!  

Monday:

To start of Monday was awesome!  We had a lesson with Andres and helped him out with one of his doubts.  It is hard to have the spirit strongly present and that is because we teach him in a store, and people always come in and buy stuff.  however he is progressing really well!

Tuesday:

We talk to Andres a lot and had a lesson with him today as well!  We walked a lot this day, but we found some potential people and it was cool!  Then at night I got a call from the zone leaders telling me that the verifications have changed.  Therefore I dont call the missionaries in the district unless its an emergency, unless it is Sunday.  It will be cool the President is changing a lot of stuff to the basics!  I am excited to see what happens next.  What he is doing gives us more time to focus on our sectors and the work.   

Wednesday:

We had a lesson with Nielson.  It was cool!  We watched a 20 minute video of The Restauracion.  The spirit was there.  He doesnt remember a lot.  He is getting older.  However we have plans to keep teaching him, but more frequently in order to help him remember.  Then we had an activity of sports and played basketball.  A less active member came and brought a friend!  His name is Felipe.  He seems a little stand offish, but we are becoming good friends with him, and hoping he softens up a little!  Also we were able to do some service for a member, by cutting grass with a hoe.  Old fashion style!  It was a ton of fun!  

Thursday:

We saw the good will of our Bishop when we were having mission coorninacion with or ward mission lider and the Bishop came searcing for a wheelchair in the church in order to help a neighboor.  it was a good example to me.  Then I started reading that Articles of Faith in spanish and it is pretty cool!  Really dificult to read in spanish but it is helping me!  Then we were able to find a investigator called Patricio and he didnt seem to interested, but we are going to keep trying!

Friday:

Me and Elder Johnson had a pretty cool expereince!  we had a another lesson with Andres and we talked about family history and I could feel the spirit of Elijah.  we also had a lesson with another investiator who knows the truthfullness of the Gospel but just cant get baptized until she gets married or moves.  she is not to willing to do that.  

Saturday:

The coolist thing that happened this day was that we went to he store of Andres late at night and he asked us to take 6 pounds of bread and give it to the people who need bread!  We were able to be instruments in Gods hands and we gave all the bread away.  We helped 4 families that really needed help!  I had a desire to search for different ways to serve others.  Also now Andres is reading Joseph Smith history!  

 

That has been a great week so far! Love you all!
