Sorry for missing last week! I don't have much time, but we had an awesome week and Stake Conference! We had Elder Bassett of the 70 here! He talked about Love, Share, and Invite! He said the first thing members need to do when they see their missionaries is to ask those missionaries to invite the friends they are teaching to meet in their homes! That's the best way to help people grow. To see love and kindness and feel the spirit of a member home.  This week we have had some amazing lessons! We have a few friends that are progressing very well! It is so awesome to see their progression! Please keep praying for them!

Hello everyone!!! I love you all!  Some amazing things happened this week! It felt like a slow week but looking back there were some amazing things that happened.  The biggest thing is that we had the first ever (So I've been told) spanish second hour, that has happened in this church building! It is an amazing miracle! We have worked with the members and have gotten their support and they are joining us! So now we have a place where the Spanish speakers can go to learn about the gospel in their language! The best example of that was this last Sunday. We had our friend Jesús come to church and we were able to have an amazing lesson with him! He is a great guy and has so many amazing wonderful questions. I have seen the gift of tongues play a huge role in my mission and especially now, in this area. But now, it's sticking! I'm starting to be able to truly speak Spanish-it's awesome!  We also have met our friend Butch! He referred himself and we have been teaching him and...

Holaaa!!! Como están todos!? This week was an awesome week! So, if you are actually reading this, I'm actually in Warsaw on the opposite side of the river! We are also a Zebra area! That means that we cover English and Spanish! Our goal is to build up the number of Hispanic members and create a group. We have had miracles this week and found Hispanics! It has been so awesome! I am here with Elder Pettibone! He is a great missionary and has done good work here. We are adding some new strategies that I learned in my last area, because for the last couple weeks, we were working on starting a little group there as well! We are doing great work here so far and I'm excited to see how it goes!  We have been praying about what to share when we meet people and I had been thinking that we could do the Prophets invitation of the Book of Mormon. I have been reading "Christ and the New Covenant" by Elder Holland and one of the first things it talks about is the power of the Book o...

We got transfer news this week!! I am going to Tappahannock with Elder Pettibone from my MTC district!! I don't have much time but what I have learned about that area is that there isn't even a spanish group and that is what we have to create! We are going to work so hard to get that area going!! Elder Moye and I have done a lot of great work here and he is going to continue to do amazing work here. His new companion is Elder Parada.
