Hello everybody 

Hope you are well This week was a great week for missionary work in Grand Island. We started the week off kind of slow not a ton of people were interested and the weather was horrible. We had some good lessons with some people we are already teaching they said they want to work towards Baptism! We also had another friend at the end of the week who wanted to get baptized too and he said he would do anything in his power to prepare so we will see how that goes. The other elders here had a Baptism last Saturday so we got to help out with that which was really cool a recent convert was able to baptize the guy. We also got to eat Frog this week or la Rana which wasn't bad it tasted a lot like chicken and on p day we got to go bowling and I got last out of everyone then later our apartment's water supply blew up and now we have a inch of water all over the floor so thats been an adventure but we should get that fixed soon and I guess I need to practice bowling so I can at least hit a pin next time. We also had a Spanish Stake meeting in kearny but only GI spanish people showed up really but they had some good talks and some really good spanish food. There was a really good talk about one of the spanish members who is a convert but in Stake presidency who talked about the importance of reading the scriptures. He talked about how we can find answers in the scriptures. There is a talk I like from Elder Bednar where he says if we want to talk to God We pray and if we want to hear his answer we open the scriptures.  

This week was also Transfers but me and my companion are staying here so nothing too crazy is happening 

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 ...
