Dear Friends and Family,

I forgot to mention last week some Sky View Elders that are here in this mission! Elder Berryhill, Elder Guyman, and Elder Smith!

Wow this week has been great! Lots of great things have happened! But before i talk about that i thought maybe id give you an update on some of the investigators we've been teaching.

We have several investigators that are really close to accepting a baptism date. Everyone down here are really open minded and it takes a bit more work to commit them to something because they just want to hear what you have to say.

One of our investigators name is Gabby. She is about 40 years old and we've taught her several times. She is really receptive to everything and loves having us come over and talk to her. We've gotten really close to her and her family. Her, her sister ( and her sisters family), and her parents all live in the same 2 trailers. Her sisters son got baptised the week before i got here and so we've been working alot with him and just the whole family in general. they are the nicest people in the world. But back to Gabby. We took a member over to her last night when we taught her about the Plan of Salvation. Sister Morales (who was the member) was perfect! we prayed about who we should take to help fellowship Gabby. And Sister Morales was the perfect choice! When she bore her testimony about Eternal Families the spirit was so strong (even though i couldnt understand some of it i could feel the spirit so strong) and It will really help Gabby alot to have a friend like sister Morales in the church. Members really help alot in missionary work. Some of the biggest set backs people have for not coming to church is the fact that they dont know anyone that is there. But if the missionaries can bring a member to help them they lose some of that fear that they have.

Contacting continues to be one of my favorite times of the day! One reason why is there is alot of using the spirit when you do it. We will usually pray before where to go or to have the spirit with us and then we go out on the street and talk to every person we can find. Another big reason i like it so much is because you never know who you are going to find! There are some really intersting people out here, and also you never know who has been prepared by the Lord to hear the Restored Gospel. Some of the people that have been most prepared have been just by contacting and talking to everyone we can find.

Ive learned so much from being here! Doing missionary work is so much fun! (even if i dont totally understand the language). There are so many great people here. Ive also learned that the Gospel of Jesus Christ can answer any questoin taht you have!

Love ya all alot! and i hope you have a great week!
