Hello everybody hope you had a good week this week was pretty awesome,

We got to teach some pretty cool people this week and started off by teaching a guy that played professional baseball for Cuba he said he is trying to get drafted into the MLB right now he is just working with his agents and for some reason staying in Grand Island Nebraska he also showed us some of his highlight clips and his sprint and he ran a whole football field in seconds it was insane. I also got to go into one of our friends house and they were blasting some spanish music but then looked at us and asked what we listen to so they all started jamming out to country music even though they did not understand anything it said. Then we found another guy that runs some sort of secret mechanic shop in a storage garage and he showed us all the cars he was working on. It was fun. We also had a zone conference this week which was awesome. We got to read the talk about just keep moving forward with faith from the conference and talked about the importance of not getting discouraged. It is a choice that we make to become discouraged it dosen't just happen we can be placed in discouraging places and situations but we will also have the option to choose how we react that is something that I think is so cool and it also reminds me of the importance of choosing to be happy and moving forward trusting in the spirit rather than becoming sad and discouraged about the things around us. We also got to help do service in a old house that apparently was the biggest house in the mid west for a long time it was kind of creepy but the owner took us on a little tour while we were helping her move stuff into it because they are planning on restoring it and she told us that they were able to buy it for 5 dollars from a non profit organization because that is who owned it before so that was crazy but they are planning on restoring it and making it into some sort of historic thing. We were able to talk with a lot more people as well towards the end of the week and found some people that seem pretty cool and we also got a few to church which was awesome.
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 ...
