Hello everybody this week has been a good week,

We were able to start out with a good p day and go outside for the first time in a long time and play some football and frisbee it was kind of nice, we also got to play some basketball with some highschoolers and found out that Uconn won March Madness so that was crazy. We had a pretty normal week this week just walking around the streets and trying to find Spanish people which really isn't too hard in Grand Island. We also had a good lesson with one of our friends who just got out of the hospital from a wreck and now he isn't allowed to drink or smoke so he said he might as well get baptized once he heals so that was awesome then we played soccer with his little kid for a bit and ate some weird meat that they kept handing us. We had interviews with president on Friday which meant we had a district council on Friday so that was the first time that I had gotten to see the whole district. Then we also got to go to a spanish birthday party for a member which was very fun and we ate a ton of Cuban food which is very filling so I almost puked by the end of that night because they just kept giving me more and more. Then we got to focus a lot on getting people to church on Sunday for Easter which was awesome. We got a few people to come that are progressing pretty well in the church. Then we got to eat dinner at the Bishops house that night and they made all the missionaries do an easter egg hunt. That was really fun but I only found 6 eggs. I also figured out yesterday that my favorite tie is not actually white it is blue so everything that I thought matched well apparently doesn't match at all so I have given up on colors

Hey everybody hope everyone is doing good I decided I should probably send another email out since it's been a long time since I have sent one. I am still here in Sioux Falls South Dakota but since last time I wrote I have gotten a new companion. His name is Elder Gertsch and he is from Boise Idaho so thats been kind of fun talking about Idaho. We also got a baptism a while back for a girl named Sarahi which was pretty awesome. Honestly not a ton has happened just walking and talking to the spanish people here in South Dakota which has a lot more Spanish than I would have originally thought. I also have been trying a lot of new food here. About every time I go to a members house I eat something new which has generally been something related to sea food like when someone fed us seaweed. I am getting to the point in my mission where I have learned how to start cooking more than just microwaving things so the food game has improved. I have loved being on my mission even...

This was a crazy week. We started by flying to Omaha on Monday but when we got there we found out that we won't meet our trainers until Wednesday so we just had to stay in hotels for 2 days but that was pretty fun. We got to go explore winter quarters and then we got to go eat at President Bailey's house. Then on Wednesday we were given assignments and I was assigned to Lincoln Nebraska Spanish in a trio with Elder Hepworth and Elder Hammond but before we could leave we had to wait for a ride for 7 hours. Me and two other new Elders just walked around the Church and looked at the Tacomas that they won't let the Elders drive because they only allow the sisters to have them. Then we finally got our ride but we had so much luggage and mail that we couldn't see anyone in the car while we drove. Once I got to Lincoln I met my trainers. Elder Hammond has been out for over a year and is the trainer and he is awesome. Elder Hepworth has been out one transfer which is 6 weeks an...

Hello everybody hope you had a great week  Transfers were this week and I got transferred to Omaha which kind of sucks but it is a good area we actually have a Spanish Branch again which makes church fun. Before we left GI we got to say goodbye to the people we were teaching and some members and they took us to some Mexican reseraunt and bought a ton of tacos it was awesome but really sad that we were leaving. We were also told that are apartment was going to close so we spent a ton of time cleaning the heck out of it then they changed it at the last moment so other missionaries get to stay in our apartment. Omaha is pretty great though our first day we got a ton of food from some puerta ricans then later we were able to put someone on date for Baptism. This week has been kind of crazy but overall it's been good I was also able to read this week in the Book of Enos And he said unto me: Because of thy faith in Christ, whom thou hast never before heard nor seen. And many years ...
