 Elders on P-day

Dani! I love this little guy!

Hey everyone, I had a pretty good week this week. We found some really
solid people to teach. We also did tons of service! It was slow as
heck, but it was so great.

Tuesday we got to build a greenhouse for an elementary school, that was cool.
Wednesday we worked at Salvation Army again- cool as well.

Thursday was sick. We found a dude named Jose and his wife Olga. He's
hilarious. He's from Oaxaca Mexico, but he was saying he moved to
Tijuana and that's where he would always hop the border haha. He just
talked forever, and then he was asking if we yell during our church
like Pentecostals and we said no, so he said he would go haha.

Friday we had Spanish Conference in Richmond, that was pretty cool. It
took most of the day, so we got home and did an interview for baptism.
After that we just went trying to teach a bunch of people but no one
answered. That sucked, I hate not teaching ha.

Saturday we got taken to breakfast by Hungate which was sweet. I love
Hungate, he gets so fired up about things then always brings the
spirit so strong whenever we talk. I want a guy like him to be our
mission President or some kind of leadership role in our mission. We
taught this guy Brian, I don't know if I mentioned him last week? He's
a homie, he just had a bunch of questions about Mormons, because he's
pretty Americanized and he just looked up Mormonism on the Internet.
Which is stupid haha but we cleared it all up. After that no one
answered their freaking door until like 8:45 and we taught Jose and
Olga again. We had the most effective, deep, spiritual restoration
lesson I've ever had, it was sick.

Sunday was so awesome! Jose and Olga actually did show up to church
and it was perfect! All the talks were centered just on the Savior and
the Atonement. After that, class was on developing talents, and
then priesthood was focusing on David A. Bednards talk, and
EVERYONE was sharing their conversion story, it was perfect!

Well I'm transferred. I loved Harrisonburg. I have gotten so attached
to the members here. I love this place, and I'm kind of bummed I don't
get to see Brian and Jose and Olga progress; but it's time to leave
and continue on in my mission. Which I'm really excited for! Just at
Spanish conference I was eyeing out everyone to see who could be my
companion next or who I would want to be my companion, haha I just
hope I don't get some weird kid. Oh well, I'm so excited to experience
new area, people, companions, everything.

So yeah this week was really slow lesson wise and teaching wise. But I
have been absolutely blown away by my personal studies. I have had so
much personal revelation. I know without a single sliver of a doubt.
This church is the true church. Everything about this church is true,
in the words of Brigham Young "I love this gospel because it's true."
That simple. I know God listens to every single one of our prayers, in
our heart or out loud. He knows us, he knows our trials, and
especially our potential. We are children of the living God.

me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;"
