well howdy fam! sorry this computer didn't save my email and so i have
to start over! this week was a really good one with lots of challenges
and stepping stones! so a cool experiance we had this week is we were
teaching our investigators and i didn't have much hope for them because
their pretty stuck on there religion but my comp said dont worry
they'll come around. so when we went and taught them this week oh man
it was powerful! we had a plan but when we were walking there we
thought we should change it so we followed the prompting of the spirit
and WOW! so they said they won't read the bom until they finish the
bible so we thought if they won't read by themselves we'll read with
them to get them interested! we read 2 nephi 27 about the coming forth
of the bom! oh man and it was a an exert from isaiah from the bible so
it was kind of hard to understand but the spirit was so strong and i
know they felt it. the look on there face was they were really
pondeing it! it left me speechless at the end of the lesson how
powerful it was! so that was a neat experiance and then yesturday at
church we had a bunch of less actives show up! man i'll tell you it is
the greatest feeling when you see the fruits of your labors and feel
the saviors love when we see those less actives come back to church!
so this week was a good one and it went by so fast!!!! i can't believe
how fast this transfer went by! we find out on wednesday who is
getting transfered. there's rumors flying that my comp is getting
transfered but we doubt it cause this is his last transfer and so it's
not likely but you know the rumors on the mission they fly like wild
fires hahaha. oh and freak dad you got me so bad on your april fools!
freak i had the biggest pit in my stomach reading that!!!! haha that
was a good one. about conference we don't watch it until this coming
sunday because of the time difference so haha i hope it's a good one!
and mom my favorite food here is....well almost all the time i
honestly don't know what im eating so i couldn't tell ya! but there's
this stuff called "pancit" its like spagetti with veggies and the
noodles are super thin and its way good! but other than that i don't
really know haha. hope you guys have a good week and know that i love
you so much! oh and i started reading D&C this week! oh man i can
hardly put it down! its so cool! it really made me realize the weight
of our calling as missionaries and how important it is! so it was a
good week! love you guys and hope you have a good week! Love Elder
