CRAZIEST WEEK EVER!

 This week has been absolutely insane! So to start Elder Nelson and I both went and said goodbye to a lot of the people we were teaching and it was kind of sad to say goodbye to the Easley Family but hopefully they get baptized soon and well get to go. We had a bunch of lessons with members and got to say goodbye to all of them and I will miss them all. MIRACLE, we have been trying to get ahold of brother Rosales and never got to but then Wed night before we left we were passing by his house and he was outside, we told him we wanted to play basketball with him and he got super excited and wanted to invite all of his non member family! I'm not sure how it went but hopefully something happens there. His wife said that as soon as her husband wants to go to church she will go with him and shes not a member so I thought that was pretty cool.


Thursday is when the craziness happened, we got to transfers, I got my new companion Elder Gilbert who's an absolute BEAST and we headed to our new area. We are the Liberty North Zone Leaders and we are also living with the Liberty South Zone Leaders, so it's a party here! So our area is nuts we just opened a completely new area so our teaching pool is literally empty, were covering two wards one of the 2 wards is brand new. The wards are the Hodge Park Ward and Rush Creek Ward, they both have a set of sisters in them. The sisters have no one to teach as well so I guess the missionary work hasn't been so great over here and that's why we are here to boost it up! Our zone is pretty cool we have the APs and the Training APs which is pretty cool so we get to talk with the APs a lot, we also have some really good missionaries! Elder Gilbert and I are trying to get things going in our area and our zone so things have been pretty crazy. The good thing about having 0 people to teach is it gives us a lot of time to find new people so we were able to find 3 new people the last 3 days! The sad part is because we found 3 people I think we are teaching the most people in our zone, so there is a lot of work to do I guess! I'm loving the new area we live like 5 min from Liberty Jail one of the church buildings we go to is neighboring the temple and the members seem to be pretty awesome. The bishop called us new missionaries out on sunday but saying at the pulpit " we want all of our new missionaries to come up and bear their testimonies" so I got to bear my testimony with no time to think other than the time I was walking up there haha but it's all good! All of our wards haven't had Elders in like 20 years so everyone was celebrating like the Cheifs won the superbowl. We are excited to get things started hopefully we have a killer week this week! Keep us Liberty North missionaries in your prayers!!

Sorry my emails were all over the place but here are some pictures from the week!

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!

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.
