hey everyone! it was so great to hear from yall! :) thank you so much for the emails you send me every week! :) i love reading them and hearing about all the great stuff happening back home! : i was able to get a new companion! Elder White and we are both excited to work and to get the missionary efforts in this area moving along in the right direction! :) in fact this week has been the most productive of my mission and we have seen a lot of success because of our efforts! :) its so great! :) we did a ton of tracting!!! and not very many people would listen, but i'll tell you what, the people that do listen they are amazing! and im so grateful for those few opportunities we had to teach them! :) those few experiences make it all worth it out here! i love just simply talking with people about the gospel! :) we taught about 5 people on their doorsteps about the restoration of the gospel and we places 2 book of mormons.. books of mormon haha! :) HODA DACH MOO FROW... mm..MANIER.. haha! oh gotta love the best two years! such a awesome movie! :) ive actually had a couple awkward experiences like that this week hahaha! :) on one door contact a retired golfer answered the door and we of course told him that we were missionaries sharing a message about jesus christ and he told us thanks but i already have a relationship with jesus christ and so he began to shut the door on us.. so i kinda panicked and just blurted out .. " KEEP LOVIN' JESUS!" hahaha my companion lost it!! hahaha he said i totally sounded like some black baptist dude hahaha! gotta love those awkward moment on the mission though! its good stuff! :) well i love you all and i am so grateful for all you love and support! :) LOVE YALL!
