  Hello y'all! This week I don't have much time to write, so I'm going to keep this quick. This week we really focused on helping our friends who are working on being baptized. We have two friends, Yude and Lucas who will be baptized on Saturday! We have been working with them a bunch and they have such an incredible family. They are the family that I talked about a couple of weeks ago who we accidentally found when we went the wrong way to a lesson. So it really is a miracle that we found them and are helping them to be baptized.  We also have a lot of other people who don't have a baptismal date set but who are learning so much and progressing a lot! We had another activity this week with a lot of people and it was super fun!! We had a lesson about the importance of studying the scriptures to learn the gospel, and the importance of sharing the gospel, and then we had a bunch of games we played.  This week I wanted to invite any of you who would like to, to pray for Yu...

  Hey all! This week was another great week. I had zone conference for the second time and another exchange which just is just another reminder that I'm a good chunk of the way through a second transfer. I'm definitely become a lot more used to the mission life and it's crazy to think that I've been here for almost 2 months now. But I'm loving it so much!! At zone conference, there were a lot of things that I loved. Some highlights were: First, making our studies sacred and making them time when we can really feel the Spirit and feel close to the Lord. Our studies should be a time when we can receive revelation and learn the things the Lord has to teach us. Second, making Christ our best friend, which starts by making sure our thoughts are focused on Christ so that our words, actions and habits follow suit. Christ really becomes our best friend when we recognize just how completely we rely on him and humble ourselves to him and the power of the Atonement. And third,...

  Hey all! This week was pretty great in terms of meeting your goals. Especially in terms of meeting new people. This week we started getting to know a bunch of kids that are always playing games in the street near our house. We have shared a couple of messages with them, played some fun games, and might even start teaching an English class with them this week. We are hopeful that as we start getting to know their families, we can find more people who are interested in hearing our wonderful message of the restoration! We also met an amazing family who we have started to teach. They are amazing and always give us food so I'm really not complaining haha. This week we also had a couple of people come to church with us again which was another amazing blessing. But even more amazing was that we were able to set a date for the family we met to be baptized! As we taught them and testified of the importance of baptism, the Spirit was so strong! It was amazing to see their desire to grow cl...

  Hey all! I think this week will be pretty short but I do want to talk about some miracles!  First, our prayers are answered! Even something as simple as having a good day can be an answer to a prayer. And people are so often the answer to our prayers. This Sunday, four of our friends came to church! And it was definitely a highlight of my week after a little bit of a rough start. Another time this week, we were heading to go pick up dinner from a member. We accidentally went the wrong way but ended up running into a family in the street who stopped us and said that they want to start coming to church again. Most of them are members but stopped going to church a while back. Also, we have been trying to work with members more, and especially to help them work with us using technology. So we created a technology commitee with members of the ward that want to help us. They comment on Facebook, share our posts and look for people that are interested in learning more. And this wee...
