The scriptures are so amazing and i challenge everyone if your not reading them to start...NOW!!

Hey there everyone!

So this past week has been such an amazing blessing, but i will get to that in a minute! SO new things this week. I have recently been assigned to serve with a new companion. His name is Elder McMullen, and he is from London. His accent is so dang cool and hes a good missionary! He is a semi professional rugby player and hes awesome. He says hes going to have me in shape before we leave together so yeah pretty excited about that!

Elder Adams is for sure going to be missed but it will be nice getting to know new Elders and working with them! so also lately the other Spanish Elders in our area got into a car accident. They haven't had a car for the last couple days and have been staying at our apartment. Elder Tolbert is from delta Utah and is just like Elder Adams so we are getting along good! Elder Guytan is his companion and he came out with me! hes from Mexico and knows little English and hes so funny and awesome! I'm having a ball with them and we are working very hard!

Ok so this past week we do a thing which is called exchanges. We switch companions for 24 hours and go out with other Elders. This week i was with Elder Barnet who speaks no Spanish and i was in my area! oh great. I was nervous at first but confident. We ended up going to our investigators that know no dang English. So at both lessons we have two investigators who live there so four total! We went in there with our lesson prepared and with the spirit and left with four people on date to be baptized! what a miracle! I'm so excited for the 27 of July to come! Their names are Jose and Lorena Hernandez, and Luiz and Christopher Sanantonio. it was so awesome at watch them progress and now see them prepare to come closer to our heavenly father on that date! 

So anyways besides that the area is booming! Our investigators are all progressing and we are working hard and help them do better in their everyday lives! I was reading the firth thirteen chapter of Alma the other day and it just hit me how much the lord loves us and would do anything to help us1 The scriptures are so amazing and i challenge everyone if your not reading them to start...NOW!! hah 

Well that's about it for this week but I'm glad to be out here as a missionary and saving others! Don't be afraid to share your beliefs with anyone you know! the lord will bless you for your effort to help someone! Quote by president Fenn! I love you all and hope everything is going good! have a good week everyone and be safe! love y'all!!
