Well this last week was super good! We just focused on finding new people and doing splits to help the other Elders in the zone. It has been a pretty successful week and Elder Erickson and I work really well together! Hes from Ogden, Utah and Ill be with him for the next 3 weeks until he goes back. Its been super fun to be with another gringo for the first time in a long time.

Our ward here is great. Its the strongest wards Ive been in,
I think its the biggest in our mission. Most have had like 80-100 people going
every Sunday but this last week we almost broke 200 people in church..and the
chapel is relatively small so there isnt much room to put more people so I dont
know how we are going to be able to do it! But we work a ton with the members.
This last week in Ward council we got 6 references from members and they are
taking us this week to introduce us to their friends, families and neighbors.
As far as Andersons family, they were not able to come to
church this last week because they work in events and had gotten home at 8:30am
after working all night long. But dont worry they are still super excited to
come to church and prepare for their baptisms for this next month!
I feel like the mission and the Elders here in the mission
have changed a lot. I feel like some of the Elders here in our zone dont want
to be here..they are just trying to stick it out until the end of the mission
and it makes me sad. As a zone leader I have really been able to know all of
the elders here and have been able to see their desires and their drive and
what they want to accomplish. And we are trying to do everything we can to help
them so they can keep going strong but sometimes its hard..but I know the Lord
blesses us as we try to motivate and inspire the other Elders here in the zone.
Well I dont have a bunch of time but I wanted to share a
couple of verses with you guys. Alma 29.1-4
1 O that I were an angel, and could have the wish of mineheart, that I might go forth and speak with the trump ofGod, with a voice to shake the earth, and cry repentance unto every people! 2 Yea, I would declare unto every soul, as with the voiceof thunder, repentance and the plan of redemption, thatthey should repent and come unto our God, that theremight not be more sorrow upon all the face of the earth. 3 But behold, I am a man, and do sin in my wish; for Iought to be content with the things which the Lord hath allotted unto me.4 I ought not to harrow up in my desires the firm decreeof a just God, for I know that he granteth unto men according to their desire, whether it be unto death or
untolife; yea, I know that he allotteth unto men, yea, decreeth unto them decrees which are unalterable, according to their wills, whether they be unto salvation or unto destruction.
This is one of my favorite parts in the Book of Mormon and I
know what it says is true. I am so grateful to be here in the mission and
fulfilling my dream..and being in the mission has really made me understand
this scripture more. God does give us according to our desires. We all have our
agency, and part of our mission here on earth is to use it wisely to make right
decisions. And with our agency we have to do good to serve all others in every
way possible. We have to take advantage of every moment we have so that the
Lord can bless us and help us grow and change. I love you guys a ton!
