Hey People:
 Well what can I say?? This week was not so great. It was not too bad but it was not as we expect it to be. We were kind of bummed because one of our investigators that was doing really good has fallen off date and its going to take a bit for everything to go back to normal. The good thing about it is that his wife is now more receptive and wants to learn more. So that was kind of a blessing in disguise. We did not find as many people as we wanted to but at least we found some, very last minute but its better than none.
 We had a really great thing happen to us. We went to the Stake Center in Moses Lake and we saw Elder Pearson of the First Quorum of the Seventy. He talked to us for a long time. Like 4 hours. He taught us so much and helped us to understand the true nature of our calling. It was a nice uplifting event and I'm grateful for it.
 This week we have transfers and we just got told that my companion, Elder Layton, is leaving me. He is going to Spokane. He is kinda sad to go but I told him that this is missionary life and that he will like his new area more than this one.
Well people I love you all and hope that all are doing well. Take care!!!

 Welll people this week was not the best. We worked super hard this week and we didnt have much success. We found a few people but not as many as we wanted. We did find a guy that was way Christian. He was way sweet to teach. He understood everything but the the First Vision. He could not see how Joseph saw our Father in Heaven. I tried to explain it nicely but he would not budge so I opened up the Bible and set him straight. After that he had no more concerns and he wanted me to give him a Book of Mormon and wanted us to go back and teach him more. He was way nice though. He did not get contentious at all and I felt that he was really trying to help come closer to God. That was a nice experience.

Well people this week we have been doing pretty good. We had a lot of success. We have found a lot of people to teach and to share the Gospel to. We also had a real sweet experience with one of the less actives that lives in our area. We had just gotten out of church and we went to see him. He just started telling us why he thinks that he hasn't been to church in a while and he said that he was trying get the courage back to go to church. We have been teaching his 15 year old son so that he can get baptized and I guess that the spirit has been working a lot woth him. He said that pretty soon he was going to make that choice to finally go to church. That was just sweet in its self.
 The other day we also committed Celestino to be baptized and he accepted. His date is the 3rd of July and we are way excited for that. He went to church and really liked it so we are going to try and help him to understand more about the Gospel. We also found a few more that we think have  a lot of potential.
 Two Tuesdays ago we had Zone Conference. It was pretty sweet. I had a really good time and learned a lot. We had to drive for like 3 hours to get to the meeting but it was worth it. Well we didn't drive but we rode there in the back seat. It was not too comfortable.
 Also on Saturday there was a little parade here in this little town. It was pretty fun. We tried to contact some people but I guess that people that goo to those kind of events are not to open to the gospel. Well, at least we did our part.
 Well people I think its time for me to go. I love you all and hope that you are all doing well!!

yeah yeah!!!

 Well people, these past weeks have been a bit crazy. I just got transferred to a new area in the mission. I'm working in the Tonasket/Oroville area. Im really sad to leave East Wenatchee because I think that I could have helped a lot more people there but I know that this is where God needs me. My companion, Elder Layton, is just learning how to take over an area and its been kind of slow but we are trying to get going again. Its mostly english work here but their is a lot of potential for spanish work. Just recently we found a few good people that are progressing real well towards baptism. We have been working really hard to get this area back on track.
 The members here are sweet. They care so much about us and take care of us. This area was just opened back up. It had been shut down for a while so they are glad to see missionaries again. This ward was just made a ward recently. It does not have more than two months. Its really nice because they are all about missionary work to get the ward growing.
 The view here is amazing. Its pretty much just ranches and orchards but there are some mountains and its all rural. I never thought that I would like the country so much. I guess its just growing on me.
 Well what else can I say?? I love being out here in the middle of nowhere trying to bring people closer to Christ. It has been a great honor to serve with all of the people that I have served with and Im excited to work with many more.
 I love you all and I hope that everything is going well for yall!!
