Sweet Deal on A 3-Piece Suit

Well things are going pretty good. It's kind of crazy that it's already been a year! Things are going pretty well with my companion. His spanish is still pretty limited. But it'll get better. We're getting along pretty well which is good. The work is a little slow in our area. We're still working on finding more people. It seems like that's what we are always doing. But oh well. Nothing new has really happened since the last time I sent y'all an e-mail. But we had our last Zone Conference with President Sonne. That was kind of sad. But I learned a lot of stuff. He told us that it wouldn't have to do with missionary work, but it would be for after the mission. I'll probably share it with y'all when I get back. There was some good stuff in there. The Spirit was so strong as he spoke. I think that's about all that's going on right now. We're getting more and more support from the english leaders which is good. They're trusting us more. Oh and I bought a new 3 piece suit today at DI for $15. So that was a pretty sweet deal.

Great Baptism

So transfers were yesterday. I stayed in the same area. My new companion is the person that my MTC companion trained. It's his second transfer. His name is Elder Blocher, he's from Indiana. He doesn't speak too much spanish so it'll be tough. I'll feel like I'm teaching by myself. But this is one of the challenges I guess. This transfer should be pretty good. We're hoping to have 7 baptisms. Which will be a challenge because it's only a 5 week transfer. President Winn is coming a week early. Then next transfer will be 7 weeks.


Well this past weekend we had the baptism of the Lopez family. It was greatt. They came in their marriage clothes got married, changed, got baptized. I'll send pictures next week. But I baptized the father and son. The Spirit was so strong. Then Sunday they got confirmed. I confirmed the son and one of the daughters. It was a good experience. They're such an amazing family. They'll probably be entering the temple in a year. I don't have too much time because we're using the library computers and they only give us like 30 minutes. I feel like I’m back in the MTC. But that's pretty much all that's going on right now. I finally got a car. So hopefully that will increase the work. Oh and the English leadership is starting to trust us which is always good. The Stake president is pleased with us so hopefully they'll support us more! Well I love y'all and miss y'all. I'll write more next week!

Happy Mother's Day! Nearly a Year Has Passed.

Well time is still going by really fast. I only have about a year left in the mission. And to put it in perspective, it's only 12 more fast Sundays. CRAZY.


Everything is still going good. We have the family preparing to be baptized still for this Saturday. They're still excited about it, so it's GREAT.  And we have transfers on Wednesday, so I'll be writing y'all on Thursday.

Baptismal Date Set!

Well Things here are going good. The family that we've been teaching has a baptismal date for the 15th of May. The parents went today to get their marriage license and are planning on getting married on the 15th as well. So I'm really excited about that. And hoping that it goes through. They're an amazing family. So I'll keep y'all updated on how that goes. I don't know, that's about all the work that we have going on in our area right now. We're still working on finding more people. It seems like a lot of people want to talk with us for help from the church. We had interviews with President Sonne yesterday. That's why I'm e-mailing y'all today. They went well. It's weird to think that I only have one more interview with him. Then we get a new mission president. Sorry I don't have much time to write. But I can't think of much more to write about.
