Its has been a good week and also a pretty fast week one as well. Last week we didn't teach that many lessons but this week we have been teaching a lot more which is good. Our friend Robert is getting baptized this weekend on Sunday so that's awesome he has invited his family and stuff to come so they will all see it. He is super busy and we have had to teach him the deli that he manages so it's a different environment for sure. We also go over to this deli that he runs and he gives us free food and drinks all the time because we are really good friends he is super awesome. Its kind of cold here but their is no snow and it mostly rains. We had some really cool people come to church yesterday and they really like the members and the feeling and they have said that it feels different and real and bright so its super cool to see them see the difference between this church and other churches. We have people from Chile, Domincan Republic, Venezuela, México, Guatemala, Cuba, Nica...

This week has gone by pretty quick so its crazy that its Monday again. So this week my comp and I started out really strong with finding to people to teach and had some cool experiences while finding people. So my comp and I where out doing our normal parking lot finding and these three girls come up to us on Valentines Day and said that they really liked and appreciated what we are doing and they bought us a bunch of snacks like chips, gummy bears and water and just handed it to us so we were really thankful for them, super awesome. They were probably in their 20's but they said they had their own church but super nice people. I was talking to a guy whose name was Oscar and he was interested in what I was teaching him in fact he wanted us to go and teach his family at his house so it was super cool. But he was working and so the lesson didn't happen but we will reschedule. Last week we taught a guy who named Robert and he came to church this week which is really awesome and we...

It has been a busy week this past week but it has been good. We had the opportunity to go to Zone Confernce this week on Friday and hear from our mission president, President Holmes and his wife. He shared his testimony on Joseph Smith and it was super powerful and the spirt was super strong it was awesome! After that because our mission hit our goals we watched a movie. We watched "I can only Imagine" and the story behind the guy who wrote that song. I have seen the movie before but I forgot how sad but also joyful it was, it was a good movie. My companion and I have been working hard this week and were able to see some crazy miracles. We got to baptize the father of a part member member. For a while he wasn't interested but we taught him how important baptism was, and his wife and daughter were baptized and they incouraged him too. So we taught him on Thursday and he was baptized on Saturday. But what's crazy was their wedding anniversary was Feb 11 which was when w...

This week is the first week of my second transfer. I got a new companion Elder Truman and he is a good missionary. It's different for sure to have a new companion but we have a lot of things in common. It has been a little but of a crazy week because of change but overall it was good. The past few days have been really cold and windy here like 5 degrees and -10 wind chill with a little snow but it has been warming up so that's good. We have been teaching a family of 5 from Ecuador that's been in the US for only a month. They will get baptized soon and they have a lot of friends in the ward so it's only a matter of time. Another guy we are going to teach is named Manuel. We sent him a text last year in like October for the church time but he never came. In January he showed up at the last year's time but it was the English wards time. But we talked to him and told him that the Spanish ward was at 11:00am and not 9:00am. So he was a little miracle and now we have a ti...
