Hello everybody 

This week was a bit of a bummer. I started out pretty sick which made it hard to do the mission work but we still tried and found a few people then I started feeling a little better by Wednesday. We were able to do a lot more street contact and talk to a ton of people so that was fun. We had a good district council where we talked about everybody being a orange and we have to collect those oranges so that was interesting but it was very effective we are doing a lot more contacting even when it might be awkward like chasing someone down the street or stopping someone in the middle of the street listening to rap music so its been fun. We also have been able to find a lot more and are having fun doing it towards the end of the week. I was also able to go on exchanges with the elders next door and we got to talk to a few interesting people. One was very old and didn't quite understand what some things in gospel meant so she thought that she was not good enough to go to church so we were able to meet with her and tell her that she was all right and then she gave us a toon ice cream. its been a pretty good week 

Hope you all have a great 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 ...
