Sorry I have not written one of these in a long time a lot has happened these past few weeks for starters conference happened since I last wrote which was awesome we got to watch most of the sessions in Spanish which was a lot of fun a bit more difficult to understand but I got a lot out of it we got to watch it with some of our investigators and some recent converts. Watching conference with Latinos is hilarious they are obsessed with the choir. We also have had some pretty awesome lessons lately our friend from Ecuador Jorge he is progressing well he really likes meeting with us we are just trying to get him to church. We also had our recent convert miguels mom tell us she wants to get baptized but wants to wait a bit more to feel ready so Miguel turned to her and said you can't wait forever mom you got to get baptized now he asks her when she is going to get baptized almost every lesson we have with them. We also had some crazy English classes they are hilarious we have a friend named Marcos who has learned a lot he learned the word credit card and my companion Elder Whites name so he just shouts come on white let's go use my credit card then he started yelling I need information when he is confused, he told us yesterday that he can't speak English because "English is Complication" he's awesome he also got baptized last week Elder White got to baptize him but the sisters were the one teaching him. We only have about 2 weeks left of the transfer I am not sure if I am going to leave or not but I have loved being here in Rio Vista

I was also reading this week in Doctrine and Covenants 97:8

Verily I say unto you, all among them who know their hearts are honest, and are broken, and their spirits contrite, and are willing to observe their covenants by sacrifice—yea, every sacrifice which I, the Lord, shall command—they are accepted of me.

This verse really touched me as long as we are doing our best and know our hearts are honest as it says we will be accepted 

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 ...
