Que Tal?
I hope that everyone had a great week this last week! Also this week was transfer week, that is why I am emailing on a Tuesday. But my companion and i are staying together for another one! And i am very excited about that! Also the entire district is staying so i am very excited about that!
But we had a fun week this week, I had the opportunity to go on exchanges with our Zone leaders this week. I stayed in the our area with an Elder named Elder Passey. He is a very funny guy, and we had a great time. We went and visited some people, and he kind of showed me around the area, because he was in this area for about 6 transfers before it was closed for about 4 transfers.
But we also had our ZTM this week and it was very good! They talked to us about Preach My Gospel and the importance of it! Preach My Gospel is such a great tool that we have as missionary's. Really Preach My Gospel is here to guide us and help us to have the spirit with us more, teach with that spirit, and to become more like Christ. So we are trying to applying it more in our study's and become the missionary that we are all striving to be. Ztm was great and i learned a ton of good stuff!
Also this week, we had a good time visiting with people and see how everyone is doing. We found some less actives to work with this week, and they are some of the nicest people i have ever met. Also we found a couple more people to teach and that is exciting! This transfer we have laid a good foundation for the English work in  this area, because we do both English and Spanish. So this next transfer we are going to focus more on the Hispanics and getting the work and that side of the branch to where it needs to be! But i am loving the mission and all the blessing that come from serving the lord! I can't believe how fast time has flown by over the pass 15 months! Im trying not to count the day's but make the days count! I am loving the mission and striving to become more like Christ. I have truly learned how lucky we are to be able to live the standers that we do on our mission. Because not only will it help us for our life and how we should live it. But it is time we have set aside to be able to live our temple convent's 100% of the time and to truly dedicate our self's to his work!!
But i hope everything is going great and we are still trying to apply what everyone has learned from conference! Love and miss all yall
