Well, this week was a good one.  We started off the week with a zone get together.  It was like 3 or 4 zones.  I think i told you guys last week that we had to prepare a talk for all of the missionaries.  So that was good and we actually did really good.  It was really cool.  We knocked it out pretty fast last Monday so we could start playing a couple of sports.  That was nice.  There wasn't too much that passed this week honestly.  Just a normal week - working - looking for people.  We received quite a few references that we have been contacting lately and we are hoping that they can keep on progressing.  We have a lot of people right now that are progressing.  It is actually kind of hard to keep up with all of them.  We are like, "Uh, where do we have to go?"  So that's a good feeling when we have people to teach.  We do have a super cool activity because we are going to the President's house and we are inviting the investigators and he is going to give a Family Home Evening.  We are pumped.  It is going to be so cool.  I don't even know what his house looks like.  I only know one of his sons.  I think we are going to be getting to know the rest of his family so that will be really cool.  We are hoping this will help our investigators progress as well.  It should be a good one.  It will be a good email the next week that is coming.  It will be cool.  I am excited to see what is going to happen.  We are going to play some soccer and planning a trip as a zone.  We are doing good and loving life.  Hope you guys, too, are loving life.  Love ya     

hey my companion has a voice recorder! It makes things a lot easier. have a good week!

I have a new companion he is from Utah! His name is elder Michael and we are just having a blast. This past week the ward had 3 little 8 year olds who where ready to get baptized and they all asked me baptize them so it was really cool to see them and how happy they where to make the decision to get baptized.

Well as you all know our beloved prophet passed away this past week. As i watched a video of president Monson it really hit me that he gave everything he had to this church. At a young age he was called as an apostle and he was an example to every one. His whole life was dedicated to god. He will always be remembered. 

this past week i had a super cool experience that i would like to share. We were walking to go to an area to contact when i had a super strong feeling that we needed to contact this apartment. When we entered i went to a specific door and said here. At that moment there wasn't anyone in the house so we left but i told my companion that we had to pass by and touch there again. This was early in the week and we passed by like 4 different time in 2 different days but no one was ever home. Finally i think it was Thursday we walked up to the apartment and door was wide open. When we touched the door there was a lady and she didn't even give us time to respond she just saw us and said come on in. We went in to the house and started talking to here and she had recently moved to the apartment. She had been there for less then a week. She told us that she got a divorce with here husband and was feeling really sad and didn't know what to do. 

right now her and her 2 daughter are some of our most positive people we have right now and she knows that god has sent us to here house to help here. She literally started to cry and she said that we are the angels that she has been waiting for. I feel so blessed that we have been able to know her. Its so cool to see how the holy spirit works. Thats it for this week. My tesimony keeps growing stronger and stronger each week out here on the mission. I love being a missionary.

Have a great week!😀

Hope you all had a good Christmas! It was such a blast over here. We were able to teach a few people Christmas day and as well eat a ton. I'm still full! I think we ate at like 6 different people houses Christmas day. 

Well we were able to have a baptism a few weeks ago and i didn't have time to explain the story so here it is.

when i first got to the area we were able to receive a reference from the bishop. He has a sister that was inactive and her daughter had not been baptized yet. So we went and visited them and started to teach them and everything. Well it was Sunday and it was my second Sunday in the area and we had like 10 people that said they where going to go to church.  when we got there only 2 were there and me and my companion were excited for the 2 people that were there but a little discouraged just because all the other people weren't able to go. We sat down and church started and like 5 minutes in to church the bishops sister walks in with her daughter. When the bishop saw part of his family there he smiled the biggest smile and couldn't smiling. Seeing that really just filled my heart with joy. 

I will never forget the smile of the bishop that day. When i saw him smile that smile the thought i had about all the people that didn't go to church just went away. We may only have a had 3 people at church wow was just the best Sunday ever!

Happy new years! Lets make it great year!
