HEYY SIS!!! how are you? I am so glad everything is great back home specially with work.
My week was good and busy we have been working with our less active members and investigators and our members because we have notice the level of spirituality is not as high as we wanted to be so we have to work with them and help them bring their spirituality and testimony stronger. In our mission we are focusing in teaching repentance and baptism as well as working with our members in our ward which is so important as well as helping our investigators progress because none of them are progressing which makes it harder for us to help them but I am confident that this week will go even better. Great to hear that the missionaries came over and you had a great time:) thank you sis for those words I am going to ponder after my prayers. I am going to teach my investigators and my less actives to ponder after their prayers:) your package has not arrived but will keep you posted..... changes are coming up soon in 3 weeks and this is my last change where ever I go next  that's where I will end my mission. so we will see what happens!!! I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU!!!

I am so happy for you and that you understood about Nefi. SIS I invite you to read the Book of Mormon and read the Introduction and then read the first book of Nefi it will help understand more of what is going on in the story. When you read this sacred book you can apply the Book of Mormon into your life. What ever questions you have I am very gladly to help you specially when we will be together as a family in July:) I had a great week because the reference we received we went to talk to them and turns out that they are progressing really well and so we are so happy for them and one them is really interested in our message and wants us to come back to continue teaching him:) it was so GREAT!!!!!!! Well I met Brother john and he said that he served as mission president in Houston he is a great man.

We went to the waterfall we hiked a couple of miles to get to the waterfall the other time we took a van and by the way they are new missionaries who never went to the water fall so we decided to go again i didnt mind at all i just love hiking and traveling we had fun though that's the important thing.  I LOVE YOU and MISS you everyday:)

Hi SIS!!:) how are you?? I am great actually I had been really busy but now lately I am not as much just working in a our area the sad thing is that it is a possibility that they are going to close our area or close our ward and there going to be a split in our ward we are not sure whats going to happen. They have a very low number of attendance every Sunday its just sad but we were shock we when heard about it and our investigators were ready for baptism but with the rumors about our ward not not sure whats going to happen at all but we will see. I am praying and trying to stay strong and not be discourage.

Hey SIS :)how are you?? I hope everything is great my dad told me that Sister Olsen found you and that she was a missionary and baptized mom and dad and you :)  what a great way to find the missionaries that introduced the gospel to you guys and because of them I was able to know the gospel. I am great actually the mission is so awesome lately we have been working with our less actives and finding new people to share and teach our message we have. Our Ward has its challenges but we will continue to work hard. My companion is great we have the best time when we teach and also laugh, this is one of the reason that companionship is so important on the mission if you work hard and work as a team with your companions you will succeed a lot in your area is not easy  but soon we will see miracles!  I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU:) EVERYDAY

HAVE A GREAT WEEK AND TELL NATI I LOVE HER TOO AND MISS HER
