What's up everyone

These last few weeks have been very busy but awesome. We were able to have the baptism of Fernando Serrate which was awesome he is still doing pretty good and loving the gospel he should be getting the priesthood here soon which will be cool to see. We also have been working with an awesome guy named Miguel who should get baptized this week he has been awesome to get to teach and has such a strong testimony of the book of mormon he tells us that everytime he can't sleep he will open the book and start readingand then he can fall asleep. I also found out that I will be training since the last time I emailed so I have been training a new missionary named Elder White for the last few weeks he is from Utah and he is an awesome missionary. He just started learning Spanish in the MTC so it's definitely been a change of pace for me because now I have to do most of the talking in lessons, contacts and pretty much everything but he is learning a lot every day and is starting to improve. We have been able to have a lot of fun lately in Rio Vista the branch is awesome, they are pretty good at helping us out, we have some pretty awesome converts that really love the gospel and will do anything to help the missionaries. Also I just found out that I have been out for 1 year now which is crazy I do not feel like I have been out that long but I am excited for the next year I still have. I was reading in the scriptures this week and read in Alma 37:6 Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise. I have always loved that scripture for me I just take comfort in knowing that God can use us despite our weaknesses and our small efforts to accomplish great things so when we feel down we can take comfort in the fact that God still loves us and is going to use us to accomplish his work.

Hope you all have a good week

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 ...
