Hey everyone this week has been amazing! All the missionaries in this mission had the opportunity to hear from Dallin H Oaks. It was awesome hearing words from an apostle that were directed at you personally. He said something very interesting that can be applied to not only missionaries but everyone in life. He said when there is something you want to do be cautious and think is this what the lord wants me to do. He also said when there is something you dont want to do its probably what the lord wants you to do so do it! In life we have these types of situations all the time. I think that when we do the hard things that we dont really want we come out a stronger person. This week i challenge all of you guys to do something that you might not want to do but you do it because its better for you. Whether that be providing service for others instead of going to dinner i dont know. Anyways that advice is awesome and i always think of this statement whenever i'm wondering what i should do.

Also this week one of our investigators asked if I would baptized him personally. His name is kevin! He is always helping me with spanish and he just could kid. He is 21 years old. He going in for a interview with president so i'm hoping everything goes good! I'll be baptizing him the 11 of november if everything goes as planned. I'm so excited that i get this opportunity.

Thanks for everything fam love hearing from you all! Have a good week.

Hey everyone I'm doing Awesome! Its pretty crazy how fast the time flies! I've got 3 more weeks of training and then I'm finished. I probably will stay in the same area for my next transfer! I could be training a new missionary but don't know for sure yet. This week has been awesome! We found a gringo family in our area and they are learning Spanish as we speak also. Its been nice because I have been I able to share everything that I feel in English. Sometimes I don't have all the words in Spanish yet to be able to express everything. They are from Georgia and the wife only believe in the bible. The husband is super positive and I'm hoping he is going to progress. He has read 20 ch of the book of Mormon and we just found him this week. Also we found a super positive investigator. We have been teaching her with a member in our ward and I think she is going to be baptized with some time. This week we had provided service for the community. They didn't have one tractor and I was using a sledge hammer not sure what is called to break up the earth. It was brutal! Kids younger then me where helping and its there job to make money. I was so sore after and cant believe that they do that everyday. I was really was wishing that Dell was close by so I could use his tractor. Last night my companion turned the water on outside of the house. The water ran all night long and so when we woke all the water is gone. We don't know how long it will take for the water to refill but right now we are showering with water that we buy from the store. I'm hoping the water comes back soon but will see. Hope everyone is doing awesome, love you guys!

I'm doing good! I was really sick for 2 days this week. One of the days I didn't work but the other I worked. Today has been a good day. We visited a members house today that has a 92 year old grandma in the house that was doing terrible today. She couldn't breathe very good. It was really sad to see her in that condition because just the week before she was totally fine. We gave her a priesthood blessing and asked Heavenly Father to help her pass quickly because she is suffering alot. The hym we sung was God be with you until we meet again dont remeber the title in english but thats the hym. I've never felt the spirit so strong in my life. It was a great experience and after the blessing about 2 hours later they called us and said she had passed and thanked us for giving a blessing because she had been suffering for 2 days. Couldn't eat or drink or shut her eyes. It just goes to show how powerful priesthood blessing are.

I'm settling in more each week!  The language is coming alright! Definitely getting better everyday. We have in our house another set of missionaries who are our district leaders. WE switched companions but since I'm a junior companion i have one more month before I could switch areas. They have been a blessing! Every night for 1 and half hours they sit down and practice the lessons with me. They are helping me out so much! Ill never be able to repay them for what they are doing for me. They're wasting their time every night this whole entire time until we move areas. There names are elder Ang and elder Rojas. Elder Ang is from california and elder rojas is from costa rica. I'm glad that i have the opportunity to learn Spanish. we buy groceries and sometimes the people in the ward wash our clothes but once a week. So sometimes i just wash them by hand.  i dont iron my shirts or pants. I just hang them up after being washed and they end not having wrinkles. I'm glad you bought the nice pairs of shirts! yeah I cant fit in the 2 pairs of pants. I'm trying to find some one here to extend them but there isn't a store so i have to find a member and so i'm not sure if they will know how.
