Hey Mom! 

It has been a great week. We just missed out on a little bit of time from meetings and stuff but it was still a very busy week. He has not come up yet but it will be soon. We will find out at transfers about getting another set.  I actually did not give a talk this past Sunday because it was fast Sunday. We are in a store front but if we get 75 English and 75 Spanish people coming consistently then they will build a chapel. I would say with in the next year or so that could happen for sure. Yeah the iPads will be great! We get them tomorrow. 

Well this week was very busy! We found a couple new people and just had some cool experiences. The baptism went super well! They are such a great family and are a huge asset to the Spanish group. It is only growing and growing. We have another baptism this weekend and then I think one more next weekend. There is lots of work going. We had great interviews last week with President. He was just talking about how the District leader position and all that. I just am trying my best and working hard.  We have lots of lessons but the best was with this less active A. Awesome Dominican but we teach him in English. To make it short we left him with a scripture in Alma 32 I believe it was about acting on your faith and committed him to read it right after we leave so he said ok. So we were driving home and just pulling into our apartment place and we get a call from him. We were thinking oh no what did we leave. Well he calls and we talk. He ended up telling us he understand the message we were trying to get across and how much it touched him. How he said he realizes if he wants to get anywhere he has to start coming back to church. We just sat in the car after and were like wow what a miracle. We had not even planned to leave that with him. It was a great week.  So it turned out being a great week and Rthat new member is such a help. 

Ha I just find being obedient is just so much better. We all slack off but I do try my hardest and have been reading the white handbook more recently. I just think about Nephi and all the blessing he received from being so obedient.

I have not been to a mall in forever. There is a nice one in a place called Wilkes-Barre. That is where we had the baptism. They have a big chapel there. 

I feel like time has been flying. I feel like we just Skyped. And then conference is coming up soon again. 

I have not yet but soon. Yeah I loved that chocolate covered stuff! That's for sure. And the video was so great ha I did not realize Josh was in it. That's crazy. So exciting! So many going out and so many coming home. 

Well that should be an interesting calling. I think as a stake or something here their goal is a million names for this year indexed. That's a ton! But it is very important. We are still working with some people to get them to the temple so we shall see. 

Those are some great quotes. All the prophets are just very special and inspired men for sure. I am very excited to here President Monson and all the apostles speak. They are great men and I love learning more and more about them. I feel like there has been so much more that I have learned being out here. Probably the most reading and everything I have done in my life but it has been a good thing. I'm trying to switch over to just reading Spanish soon as well. I read a lot in that now which helps a ton. Well I do finally have my camera and the cord to send pictures so I shall send some. I love you very much mom! I will talk to ya soon. 

Love,
