This week was pretty weird. We actually had a lot of success but it didn't feel that way. It started really slow but after Wednesday it picked up and we found a lot of people. Also it was Halloween this week which means that we got a lot of candy randomly from random people. We had a trick and treat that we were not allowed to go to but we invited investigators so we went for a little to see them and try and make them feel as welcome as possible so we went but unfortunately they were late so we were just chilling at the trunk or treat which looks really suspicious but it was fun. We also got invited to our first member meal which was really fun. The family was not hispanic but he speaks very good spanish so he is in the spanish branch as a counselor but his family goes to the english ward. They are a pretty cool family. I also saw for the first time how crazy husker fans are when we forgot about a game and went downtown and there were masses of people and tailgate parties everywhere and then randomly an army helicopter flew over and people jumped out with husker flags. We also had an all day p day today which isn't normal so we had a lot of fun mostly just playing basketball but we also got to carve pumpkins too. Halloween week is pretty fun here because everybody goes crazy with decorations almost like christmas. It was a pretty good week. My Spanish is still not great but I am improving for sure and I know that as I keep having faith and moving forward then I will be able to have that spirit with me and be able to communicate what needs to be said. Hope you are all doing well.

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 ...
