We are family and we can do hard things

This week has been aweome! we picked up 4 new investigators! it was awesome and we were able to put 2 more people on date for baptism! the spirit is really taking hjold of the work! this week I have done a lot of studying on unity and working as one! 1 Corinthians 12 is by far one of my favorite chapters cause it talks about how we are all part of the body and are to work as one! Because some one cant do something that some one else can! we are to work together as family no matter who we are or what we have done! and if we work like this we can do hard things! Unity is huge in all that we do! Loving one another could make the biggest difference in life if we would just all follow the 2nd great commandment! I love you all and I hope that you have a great week!

This week was awesome! me and Elder Maucotel were able to see some awesome miracles! We were able to find 3 new investigators in 2 hours! it was awesome the lord surly provided for us! their names were chris, Kristie, and Audrey. Kristie and Audrey had alreay started reading the Book of Mormon! it was Awesome! Chris said that he didn't want us to try to convert him but he let us come in anyway. We told him that it was not us that were there to convert but it was the Work of God and the Holy Ghost to do that. We taught the restoration, and when we got to the first vision, he said that is pretty significant! it was awesome we think that he understand the importance of it it was great! We did a lot of biking and walking but it is Worth it! I was able to Interview a ten year old that the sisters had been teaching for baptism. Holy crap she knew her stuff! It blew my mind on the things that she knew about the gospel! It was a true up lifting experience to be able to have that interview with her and to be able to feel the Spirit there. I was also able to teach a 8 year old of a recent convert the Restoration while my companion was working on family history with his mom. It was sweet! he asked if he could be baptized that very instant! it was awesome! I think Two of my favorite scriptures that I have found this past little while our Hebrews 6:10-20 and Alma 38:10-12. We are to be always diligent in the ways of the Lord in all that we do and don't be Slothful or idle. We are representatives for him at all times! I know that the Book of Mormon is the Word of God! and that this is the only one and true Restored Church on this earth today! There is a why to everything that we do in the church if you don't understand something then study it out like Joseph Smith did and  Pray and ask God the Eternal Father in the Name of Christ and with a sincere heart and real intent at it will be given unto if it is God's Time I promise you! I hope you all have a great week! love you all

Miracles

So this week as a district we focused on finding with faith! and man did we see some miracles!  on Saturday me and elder maucotel decide to go out and do some door knocking. one door that we knocked on the guy was really cool we talked to him about the Book of Mormon and he asked if he had to buy it or if he could just have it we told him that he could have it and we told him that we teach people about it! he said that he would read it in 3 weeks and we could come back. so we asked him if we could come back sooner to help him understand it and he said sure so we are meeting with him next sunday. the next house that we walked up to we didn't even have to knock it. the lady was outside doing yard work and we asked if she needed help she said no but then she looked at us and said are you Mormon missionaries and we said yes and she said I have been waiting for you!!!! she said I have so many questions I from California I have lds friends and I want to learn more can you come back next Friday! it was crazy! faith really does work I cant believe it has taken me this long to figure that out! Faith can really move mountains if you want it to. but you just have to put your effort into it for it to work! I hope you all have a great week and look for the miricales in your every day lives, cause they are there you just have to look. love you all

Week #2

I hope you all are doing well the hood it doing good! we found 3 new investigators this past week! they seem pretty solid! one thing that we have found that works great in this area is talking with people about the plan of salvation! the people here are humble and they want more peace in their lives. unlike the rich areas who think they have everything these people are looking for more and are willing to accept it. I hope you all listen and watched conference I think that that was the best one I have ever seen (probably cause it was the only ones I really paid any attention)... the ward here is really awesome! the weather is starting to get colder and it is almost starting to snow! we are teaching a family their names are the martins they have been less active for a while but or now pretty active. we are working with the son caanan and the dad Jeremy to get the priesthood it is awesome! I don't think I have ever seen a 15 yr old kid so excited about the gospel! I t is truly amazing! if we could all be as excited as he is the world would be a different place! I know that this is the true church of Jesus Chirst and that it has been restored through the Prophet Joesph Smith! there is no way that all of this could be made up! we can find so much peace and happiness through this gospel! sometimes it can be hard but it is worth it! I hope you all have a great week! 
I love you all
