Dear Friends and Family,

wow this week was another great week! Missionary work is the best thing. Next week is transfers so our Pday is on Monday.

First of all i'll give ya a little update on the huge family that came to church a couple weeks ago. The familia Diez and they live in Sierra Blanca. Sierra blanca is about an hour from where we live going south. (its pretty small, if you sneezed you might miss it.) We traveled down there Friday and yesterday to teach them. We've been doing it in the trailer of Brother and Sister gonzalez. We have taught them the Restoration and The Plan of Salvation. They recieve everything really well and already have strong testimony's. They didn't come to church this last week though, but its because they worked something out with the Branch President so they will come to Fabens 2 times a month and then when there are more members in Sierra Blanca a few of us will go down there and have a sacrament meeting. They are a great family!

Eva Violobols is also doing really well! We went to her house last night with the Kimbles. (The Kimbles are a really amazing Elderly Couple that we work with a lot) Eva wasn't feeling like she was going to be ready for the 25 of October so we asked her when she felt she could be ready, and talked  a lot about you don't have to know everything before you are baptized. We talked about it and established a different date the 15 of November! (I'm really hoping i'm not transferred!) But this was a great experience because when we were talking and she was talking it really seemed like she understood the principles and everything! I really love it when it finally clicks for someone. Also Eva's husband is getting interested as well. The kimbles have been doing an English class at the church and this brings lots of people because hardly anyone here knows English.

It will never cease to amaze me of how great of members we have here in the Fabens Branch. Tonight we are going to go with David Hernandez and Jesus Hernandez to Fort Hancock and they are going to introduce us to some more of their friends and have some lessons. They are all excited and ready to share the gospel. Sometimes we have fear to share the gospel with our friends but if you think about it and you do it right, then the worst they will do is say they aren't interested and you continue being the good friends that you were before. The gospel is true and you will never regret sharing it with someone else!

Love you all and I hope you have a great week!
