What a Week!

Well first off its good to hear that everything is going good back home. Happy birthday, brooke, grandma, eric, and heather, and happy fathers day dad! I hope you guys all have good birthdays and that you had a good fathers day yesterday dad. It was cool to see all the pictures from all of the events this last week. Well, this week has been a pretty cool week for us. I have seen the Lords hand in our work this week. We put another date for baptism and almost put two more after that. First off, we have Rafeal and he is going to get baptized that first week of august he now is finishing 3 nephi and he is reading the book of mormon faster than me. He is a really cool and is progressing a lot. Also, a cool experience that happened this week was this, we started out on day and we had about 6 appointments right as we left the house. For some reason we decided to go and ask one of the young men from the ward to go with us to our appointments. So we walked way out of our dirrection to go to his house. When we got to his house he wasnt there, but his aunt was there and she invited us in and gave us water. We started talking to her and found out that she isnt a member and then we set an appointment with her. We went back on saturday and taught her and she is totally prepared to recieve the gospel right now in her life. She came to church yesterday and we found out that she has visited other wards before but had never shared with the missionaries. She was basically just waiting for us and we will be putting a date for baptism with her this week. So we were definately guided to her this week. Then another lady accepted a date for baptism yesterday, she has went to church a couple times and i can tell that it really is making changes in her life. Well these past couple weeks we have been teaching a lot and we have a lot of people that are progressing. I hope i get to stay here another transfer to be able to see these people all the way through the whole conversion process. After 5 months of knocking doors we are starting to see some results and the lord is pouring some blessings out on us right now, so it has been a good week. Anyways, the work is still coming forth down here, we also had a mssion conference this week and it was super cool. Our mission president had a us read a talk called the 4th missionary and then he talked a lot about the talk. The talk is really cool. One part that i reallly liked was that it talked about,  is everything that we can give god. There truely are only two things that we can give god that arent already his, our heart and our mind. Our time, money, and talents are all good stuff that we can give him, but we are only giving him back what he has givin us in the first place. but our mind and our heart are ours and if we give them to god then we truely are giving him everything. so that was a pretty cool conference. Anyways, everything here is good i hope all is going well for you all back home and that you have a good week this week. I love ya all
