Whats up y碼ll! This week has had quite the turn around! :D
Firstly, thank you all for writing me!! It was great to hear how everyone is doing. Clayton better hang on to that del sol by the time I get back!!! We磍l do some serious work on our cars! I want to build mine up.. How many pounds of boost is it running? I don磘 know if anyone will know what that means, you might have to ask my buddy Zach to explain it. It磗 been a really long time since I磛e thought about cars.. Wow! Seriously though, the short messages were great.

So yeah, this week was pretty dang good. We had a good turn around.. We had 6 of our investigators come to church on Saturday! 4 of which we met Saturday afternoon :) Another is an investigator we磛e been working with for a few weeks... His name is Bernardo, he磗 56, has his family and work and everything. Awesome guy.. He is also the pastor of one of the Evangelist churches here in Santa Rita. He has had a doubt for the past 20 years or so.. He wants to know why in the Bible it never talks about Christ coming to the Americas and ministering here. Well! We磛e got this book.. Its blue and it was written about 2,000 years ago by prophets... Here in America.. Which has a large part that is a story when Christ came to the Americas and established his church here. I FINISHED this book yesterday for the first time in my life! I read it cover to cover and I KNOW it is true. The Book of Mormon is so important in our conversion. If we believe in Christ, we磍l believe in the Book of Mormon (2 Nephi 33:10). Without this book, we don磘 have the fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. So he has been reading this book and praying to know if he should join our 创ministry创 as he said.
On Thursday we had an activity in the church.. We watched the video of the Restoration and Bernardo came. He knows Joseph Smith was called as the Prophet to restore the Church that Jesus Christ Himself established in the times of old. He loved the movie! We told him we have another one about when Christ came to the Americas, so right now we磖e planning a HUGE activity the 4th of February to set up a projector in one of the plazas here and watch it on the big screen. Then we磖e gonna be taking names! Bernardo wants to help us a ton! So we磖e going to extend the baptismal invitation this week.. :)
It was a great week this week. I learned a lot! I was humbled and we worked out tails off. In just a few weeks, I will have 10 months in the mission. Can you believe how fast the time has gone?! I feel like it was last week where I was packing my bags getting everything ready to go! I turn 20 next month.. What the heck. I remember my 5th birthday! We ate waffles, I got a t-ball set and a toy truck (black Ford) with a trailer! The next thing I know, I磍l open my eyes and I磍l be 49 with one of my sons on his mission.. I磎 freakin out man!
I磎 trying to think of some other stuff I could tell you.. Well, I miss you! I pray for you lots and I know you磖e receiving the blessings! I磎 happy, less stressed, more motivated. I磎 fluent in Spanish :) I磎 learning a little bit more Portuguese! It磗 been sweet! I磎 half way through the Book of Mormon in Spanish, when I finish, I磍l read it in Portuguese :) esta bom.

Alright! Imma wrap this up and go buy some food!
I love you all and hope you have a great week this week! I know I will!
