Week 93:A parking spot and a New Age

last Friday's leadership conference: Elder Giraldo (my trainer), Elder Vazquez (longest companion), Elder Valdetano (stellar missionary). All three amazing missionary's, amazing examples, amazing companions. This is one of our last meetings (their last (they all leave this next change) and one of my last three)
So this week kind of went slow and then it felt that it flew by once General Conference hit! And what a conference it was! 
The changes we have seen will be the mark of a new age, literally a lot of us will remember the three hour block and the new changes with the study material. I am looking forward to these changes and how they are going to positively affect the church. 

So on to the week- We helped with a service project on Wednesday. The second counselor of our ward bought a car and needed help making a parking spot so that he has somewhere to park it. We had a lot of fun. We had to chop down some trees and then we moved the dirt so it was level and then we built a wall of rocks on the side so that the dirt would be held up and secure as the scriptures say, built upon the rock right? 

Our investigators are progressing, we are looking forward to some baptism this month and getting people ready for next month. President is putting a lot of emphasis on 10 contacts daily and we are seeing some miracles happen as we are doing it. We are starting to find some really good people to be teaching. 

I hope you all have a great week! Read the Book of Mormon and the words of the modern prophets! Love all of you 
looking to get our district out to do more service like this.  It was actually a lot of fun and helped them a lot.
Elvin is the Second Counselor in our wards Bishopric. This family is really nice.  I always feel super welcome in their home. We usually eat dinner at their home on Tuesdays.

John Rambo maybe? Chopping down trees is good for you, even if it is for parking cars.
good banana! good break!
Where do you think I learned most of my axe skills from? deodorant spray or video games?
