Hey everyone!

So sorry, but I don't have a lot of time again, because we had to go pick JJ, the president’s son, up from school last minute so bear with me as I try and get as much written as possible.

So this past week has gone pretty well. I told you a little bit about last week's p-day, which was really cool. After that, I had a day in Madrid doing a little exchange with Elder Koppe, a missionary who is serving there. That was super great even though it was a little last minute, and we didn't have any lessons planned. It all worked out though, because we ended up going out and talking to people in the street, and we found a really cool couple. We talked for a while about Christ and how He has blessed us. We shared a Book of Mormon with them. That was a fun night; I hope that they have luck with the missionaries in that area.

Other then that, we had a couple of busy days in the office. We have been super busy in the office, so there was one day where we ended up not being able to leave to proselyte at all, which was too bad.

One cool note, in one of our lessons, our investigator, Noemi, brought her daughter, Daniela, to the lesson, and we were able to teach her, too. She is 12 and doesn't have a lot of knowledge about Christ or the Bible, but she has a lot of desires to learn and is super humble. We gave her a little pamphlet and taught her how to pray. I noticed afterwards that she was reading in the pamphlet, which is always cool to see. 

Well I have to go guys but I hope you have a great week!

Hey everyone!

So today I have even less time then usual today so I'm going to have to be very quick.  Last week was good. Transfers ended up going pretty smoothly and there weren't any big problems so that was nice. 

So the big reason I don't have a lot of time is that we moved our pday to Tuesday today, so we could go to the temple with a recent convert from La Laguna. My companion, Elder Johnson and I, found her back in October. Then after we left she kept meeting with the hermanas and eventually got baptized.

President gave us the permission to go with her today to the temple so we could do baptisms with her in the temple. It was a very special and spiritual experience. She asked me to be baptized for the men in her family, so I did that, and it was a very special experience. The Spirit was there so strongly, and it was very beautiful. Lucia started to cry as she was being baptized. She said that she just felt so happy. It was a really humbling experience that really reminded me about the power and beauty of the plan of salvation. It is something that is so special and powerful to know that all those we love who are seperated from us now will be united with us again one day. 

I love you all! Sorry I didn't have more time have a great week!

Super tired, and we just talked yesterday "HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY" so here are a bunch of pics! If you have any specific questions shoot me a message. This past week has been very uneventful. I was locked away in the office for the majority of it. I didn't leave that much, so there isn't really anything to report on.  Here are a bunch of district pics, with Elder Tarver and Brasher, who we got to see. 

Lucia's baptism!

Hey all!

So we are in a super big hurry today, and I don't have a lot of time to write this email today, so super sorry. I'll try and fit in as much as I can.

So this past week has been pretty busy. We are 4 missionaries, so we have been getting in the habit of separating into 2 and 2, so we can be a little more effective. Doing that helps us get a lot more time to go out and talk to people though and to teach as well, so that's pretty nice. (Here’s some more information on my new companion. His name is Elder Packham. He is from Utah.)

Our investigators are doing well. We are moving Leandro’s fecha a little farther back, because he feels like he needs a little more time to get ready. He is doing pretty well, though. He is a super good kid. Whenever we pass by, he loves to talk to us in English, so he can practice. Ha- he always gets angry at me when I speak to him in Spanish. 

We are doing a lot of preparations the new mission president right now, helping them get ready, (at least the Packs are). Our mission will be really big when we combine. We will have about 260 missionaries. The area will be a lot larger, too. 

The snow last week was awesome. It’s in a mountain range called the Sierra. It was cold, but not too bad. 

Today was good. We went out and did some service this morning, because a member called us last minute and said they needed some help and that it was urgent. So we went and helped them out for a bit. After that, we went golfing with President, which was fun. Not gonna lie....I'm not very good at golf. Ha! but, we had a good time. It was a fun day all in all.

Ok, sorry I couldn't write more guys. Have a great week and see ya next time!
