going to get my visa today

this email is gonna be really short but if I get back with enough time today I'll send another email. This week has gone by really fast but my companion still doesn't wanna work haha but its fine by me cause Wednesday we were talking with people outside of the mtc again and I talked for the whole time so my spanish just keeps improving I've also been trying to read the scriptures in spanish but its much harder than I thought. It was really sad Sister Taylor left this week I'll send pictures later when I have my camera and her whole district left. I got sick yesterday I guess it was my turn but i'm feeling a little better today. I'm also the new district president over my district and thats been pretty good our district is the best we all have learned so much spanish even though my comp isn't very good. I'll send more later and pics later

today we went to the visa place and it was crazy how much spanish i could understand haha. This week has been good we've been talking to a lot of latinos but my companion hates talking to them haha I have to beg him sometimes. We had a devotional by Elder Bednar and his wife and it was awesome it was all about how we need to stay in tune with the spirit. I really liked when talked about Nephi and how he wasn't sure what he should do when he was going to laban but he just knew the spirit would guide him and sometimes we just need to not ask questions and just go relying only on the spirit. It's been a month today super crazy can't wait to get out in the field other than that this week has been just another week just learning spanish.

I don´t even know where to start haha. I got off the plane last tuesday with about 30 other missionaries, and half of them were going to my mission. We took a bus to the mtc and I got to know everyone going to my district and I liked most of them but there was one kid who I didn't want to have as a companion because we had nothing in common. I like to play sports he liked to read books, I like to be outside, he likes to read books haha. But of course we got assigned to be companions and I had kind of a bad attitude about it for my first 2 days and those were the longest two days ive ever had. I prayed that I could come to love my companion and that day we listened to a talk by elder gong and he was talking about the importance of having a good relationship with your companion. He said to stop focusing on the things you didn't like about your companion and to focus on the things your companion was good at and since then its been great. Ive come to love the things my companion is...

It is great to be back

How is everyone doing? I know it's been a while but for all of those who didn't know I have been reassigned from merida mexico, to independence Missouri! I have 2 new companions (so were in a trio) and we are in the blue springs area (Kansas city)! It has been pretty different teaching over the phone and in english but it is still awesome! We have been teaching a lot of members and looking for a lot of new investigators, we have just been making phone call after phone call and looking for people to teach through Facebook! It has been super awesome and I have been able to find a few spanish speakers that seem pretty interested. Missouri is so pretty everything is so green and there's grass and lakes everywhere!

We have quite a bit of people progressing were hoping to baptize a few more here in Maxcanú. We have a baptism coming up this week for saul! I was talking to him and hes going to turn 17 this week and I asked him what are you gonna do when you turn 18 and he told me he wants to go on the mission. I was super pumped haha because he still hasn't even been baptized yet super awesome. We also had a multizone and I got to see some of the elders in Progreso my old area and they told me that the converts are starting to work hard with the missionaries and help them get more people to teach and progress. I was super excited to here that! We are also teaching this new investigator and her dad and sister were baptized 20 years ago but she never accepted the gospel.
