Hi Family

This week was interesting. We had a good deal of success finding new people to teach--we´ve put a lot of appointments for this coming week. We ate with the bishop´s family twice. ( A wonderful family with two small children). I hope that we can help unite the ward in missionary work. 

We learned that one of our investigators doesn´t like a particular family of active members in the ward. The upside is that our investigator will shortly be moving to another part of the city and so there likely won´t be any awkward encounters. We will pass her information to the missionaries close to her new home. 

We have all been called to attend a special missionary meeting today at 4. I find it a bit odd, because with exception to our District meetings, we never have had special meetings on Preparation Day. Hope everything is ok.

I hope that Rachel had a very happy birthday! I thought of her a lot yesterday.

Have a wonderful week!

Hi Family

This week was interesting. We have a very interested investigator with a small family. She is committed to come to church this week. She even asked if we could pass by her house to attend church together. (Of course!)

We were contacted by many people with genuine interest in learning about the gospel. I hope that we can teach them effectively. I hope that they will progress. 

Tomorrow we will go on companion exchanges. I will stay in the área and my companion will leave for another área. I hope all will go well. 

Thursday we have a special Zone meeting, and soon we will have interviews with the mission president. 

I hope all is well and that you enjoyed Valentines day. 

Have a wonderful week!

Ya es Febrero

Hola Familia

Ok, si hay alguien que se moleste porque estoy escribiendo en español, la padre de la familia tiene la culpa, porque me dijo que quiere que escribo en español. 

Tuvimos una semana bien. Una investigadora aceptó una fecha bautismal. Tiene mucho interés en el evangelio, en el Libro de Mormón y en el profeta José Smith. Mañana tenemos cita con ella.

Mi nueva área es mucho más grande de mi área anteriormente. Es la área más rico en la cual yo he trabajado todo la misión. Estoy realmente en el corazón de la ciudad--llena de edificios, Centros de compra, y una grande parque en la cual mi compañera y yo salimos para hacer ejercer. 

Los miembros de la iglesia trabajan mucho--con una fe grande en el Señor. Tengo muchas ganas de trabajar duro aquí--las personas están dispuestos de escuchar el evangelio. Espero que tendremos mucho éxito. 

Es todo

Hi Family

Ok, if there is anyone who is upset because I´m writing in Spanish, they can blame the dad who requested it. 

We had a great week. An investigator acepted a baptismal date. She is very interested in the gospel, the Book of the Mormon and the prophet Joseph Smith. We have an appointment with her tomorrow. 

My new area is a lot larger than my old area.It´s the wealthiest area that I have worked in my entire mission. I´m truly in the heart of the city--full of buildings, shopping centers, and a large park where my companion and I go to exercise in the morning. 

The members of the church work very hard--with a huge faith in the Lord. I am anxious to work hard here--the people are ready to listen to the gospel. I hope to have a lot of sucess.

That´s all
