Hey everyone just wanted to send out a quick email this week was amazing! We put our friend Ronney on date to be baptized this week on March 11th which will be awesome and if it goes through he will be the first baptism this area has had in over a year so I'm excited for him. He has made so much progress in the last month with quitting cigarettes and drinking coffee. It is so awesome to see the change people are willing to make when they feel the blessings of the gospel. Another awesome thing is I had immigration for the last time this week and lucked out and saw elder Toone and elder Eli. It was awesome to see Toone from MTC and catch up with him. And awesome to see a little Riverton blood with Eli and catch up with him.  This week we had the opportunity to hear from an apostle who came to our mission. Elder Renlund from the 12 came by and talked just with our mission and it was so awesome hearing from him and his wife and shaking their hands. They bring the spirit so strongly and...

Hey everyone, I hope you are all doing well this week went so fast and it seems like every week is starting to go faster. This week we had zone conference which was so fun to see all the other elders.

He has sincere love for us. And if you sincerely love someone or something you will do anything for them or that thing. Ephesians 6:24 Grace...

Past 2 Weeks

Hey everyone sorry I forgot to write last week so I'll give a quick update about the last two weeks Last week was a super good week for finding and teaching. We found lots of people and had tons of spiritual lessons with them which is good.  Last week we let a dog in the house to hangout for a second after it followed us home for 10 minutes haha. We fed him different types of food to see what dogs here eat. Turns out they don't like peanut butter here which was so weird. Last week we also went to cayala which is this super rich area in the city. It was super cool and was so interesting to go from a small little pueblo to the richest part of the city haha. We also got to golf at a driving range too which was super fun. and I'll put some pictures below.  Last week we also locked the keys in the house on the couch. The window was open so we grabbed this huge 10 foot stick. And moved the whole couch with the stick all the way to the window where we managed to grab the keys. It ...
