Hola Familia!

It sure sounds like you guys have had quite a crazy week with the court of honor and the campout at camp Hulaco.

We've had quite an amazing week! We found some great people knocking doors and we had 11 investigators attend church on Sunday! September is starting to look really good! We had 4 families attend church yesterday. 3 of them need to get married and the other is a Single Mom with her 3 daughters. It was really great. The members of the ward helped a lot and it was just awesome.

This week we might have a baptism. We're gonna find out on Wednesday. I have a lot of faith that it's going to happen. Please pray for my investigator.

So, something really cool that I haven't told you guys for about 3 weeks.... haha! sorry! is that this Thursday, Elder Bednar is going to visit our mission! We're going to have the chance to listen to him and learn a ton! I'm really excited! I'm going to take lots of notes and share some of the things that he teaches us.

Well I'm okay, I'm not sick, and I'm really happy! So don't worry about me.

Love you guys!

Hola Familia!

This week I'm going to write you guys first! So it seems like you guys are having a great time up there in Alabama! It's crazy that you guys are already starting school again!. It seems like you guys just got out, and wow Maddie is a senior in high school.... I remember my senior year. It was awesome!

This last week I completed a year on the mission! To be honest with you guys, it feels like I still just got here. It's really weird. I can definitely say that this last year has been the best year of my life so far! Im hoping that this coming year will be even better!

We've been working really hard and we're now starting to see the blessings of the Lord from working and being obedient. The birth certificates are on their way and we've found some new people to teach and help be baptized. Our next baptism could be the 29th of this month. We've been teaching him for the last month or so, he's progressing really well, and he's reading his Book of Mormon and praying everyday. If he attends church one more time he'll be ready to be baptized!
I'm so excited!
He's about 57 years old and wants to follow and come unto Christ! Its awesome!

So I'm fine. I'm not sick or anything like that. I feel great and ready to serve the Lord with all I've got for the next year. If its gonna pass by like it just did, I need to work super hard, because it goes by REALLY fast! So I hope you guys are okay! I put some photos up on dropbox! and a video too! My english stinks so you guys are just gonna have to try your best to understand! Love you guys!

Hola Familia! 

Well this week I again don't have much time to write you! I'm getting more letters now, which is nice, but I have to write President, so it seems like I should write you guys first from now on! 

 We had a baptism this past week! It was awesome! I'll be putting up photos next week! So my investigators are great! They're progressing and my apartment is nice.  Unfortunately, Lima doesn't want to help the Church with marriages anymore so were trying to find a solution there. 

I have a year now! That went by really fast!

I love you guys!

Hola Familia,

So it seems like you guys have had a great week! You are already going back to school? Wow, time sure does fly fast! So I've had a pretty awesome and successful week!

Since my companion and I are both new to the area and are trying to get to everything- the converts, less active members, and the investigators, it has been hard, but the Lord has really helped us with this. We know the area pretty well and almost all of the converts, and investigators. When we put all of our faith in the Lord he will help us with everything! So we have a baptismal date set for August! We are teaching a 16 year old guy who wants to get baptized and his parents say it's okay! We also shared the message of the Restored gospel of Jesus Christ with his parents. They need to get married, so we're going to trust in the Lord on that one. The young man is going to get baptized on the 8th of August! If you guys would pray for him it would be awesome!

We also are going to help marry and baptize 2 families in August! We're trying to find the birth certificates so that they can get married! They're really progressing well. We just need to be obedient to the Lord and I know they will get married and baptized at the end of August!

So our area is a lot different from the other 2 areas that I have Iived! This one is flat and is a lot richer. I've seen Mercedes Benz and Audi cars in this area, so the people reject us more. It's still relatively poor, but all the people are happy!

I have a feeling that I'm going to learn quite a lot in this area! Well that's it! I hope that you guys have a great week! I'm sure i will! The mission is awesome!

Love you guys!
