Week 18: May 9

Hey!!

So since I talked to you yesterday idk what to say today haha. But I am so glad that I got too see you guys, I was trying not to cry at the end haha. When I pushed the red button I exploded haha. I miss you guys, but yeah after that we went and visited some people and we saw Michael and his friend Saul. Which was cool we shared a Mother's Day video with them :) after that someone in the apartment complex asked us to come over and bless this lady, this lady was super scary haha she had multiple mental problems and was screaming and then 30 seconds later she was laughing and freaking out so hard haha, it was pretty crazy ! after we went to the Henries they are the ones that feed us a ton and we had smoked salmon and cod. And it was super good. I hope you had a great Mother's Day mom :) I guess I will share a scripture with you guys its

28 And again, I command thee that thou shalt pray vocally as well as in thy heart; yea, before the world as well as in secret, in public as well as in private.

I just want to tell you how grateful I am for prayer it's a sacred thing God has given us to communicate with him, and anywhere and anytime, that's why I love it so much. When we are feeling down and discouraged we can pray for that help, when we give blessings the most important thing I notice is before I give one I pray to know what to say, cause if you don't then it just won't work haha. But yeah that was D@C 19:28. Transfers are this coming Saturday like I said, I am excited to find out what is going to happen. Today we are going to get together has a zone and play so,e sweet sports I am excited :) I love you guys! If you have questions just let me know :)

*Mom asked (for the sake of those who did not talk to him on Mother's Day) for a summary of his week:

Well I don't have a lot of time but I will try to summarize it.

This week was really short at least it seemed like it haha. It's crazy how fast time goes by when your actually working your hardest and trying make a difference in people's life's this week on Tuesday I went on a exchange with the zone leaders and guess what his name was?! Elder Brown! He's awesome; he is like my smaller twin haha. He is from Utah and super cool I love him I wish I could be his companion but he dies (*mom note: goes home) next month haha. He is awesome, we had some cool experiences and we taught this guy named Mark and he has had the worst life anyone could have. He has been told everywhere for the past couple years that he is going to die, and he is still alive idk if he is still alive cause he needs us haha. Probably, but he loved the restoration and loved the Book of Mormon and he wants to lean more super interested, he had a lot of people say hi to us on the street it was a really weird day for us.

Wednesday we did service and the food bank and had to clean up rat poop and pee, not fun. We then visited some people we met worth the zone Leaders at this beautiful creek, ( I will send pictures of it too) and the awesome flowers that I take pictures of haha. Thursday we did service at the brother Lucas's farm he is one of my favorite members here he feeds is a lot and we weed walked for him and I drove his tractor ! Super awesome! He fed us the best BLTS ever haha. We visited some less actives and prayed with some people on the church and started tracking random streets and got yelled at, not gonna relay what they said haha. But Friday we had weekly planning and then went up to another members home and it's at this farm super beautiful they do weddings there, but I built a green house without instructions, pain in the butt! But I finished it while elder Warnick pruned the wine vineyard haha. We went to dinner that night and the Spanish elders investigators house she made the best enchiladas I ate 7 of them. She makes real Mexican food.  But Saturday we played basketball in the morning with a lot of members a recent converts and then we went and sheared sheep and tackled Rams super fun got some poop all over me though.. Oh well. It was fun :) there is a lot of sheep farms put here. But Sunday went to church was super good :) we always got something out of church no matter what. My week was super good. Went by a little to fast though, sorry this letter is rushed
