Wow this week has been pretty crazy! We taught a lot! Learned a lot and found a lot of people to teach! We have 2 people deciding/ being baptized the next two weeks ! This week Saturday and next week Saturday October 31st! Ceci is this week and Mary is next week. Then we are teaching a member's daughter Montana. She is really open to learning and is already read 9 chapters of the Book Of Mormon this week. Jimmy someone we have taught off and on has given up Cocaine for good he decided! Which is great and is so humble now wanting to learn and do more.
Mary has been prepared. She is making such changes in her life and comes to church on her own! Over the last two weeks, since we started to teach her, she has begun to understand the Book of Mormon! Because of dyslexia and other stuff, it is very difficult to comprehend what she hears and reads but she understands the Book of Mormon and what it says as she prays and reads before and after! Members come and introduce themselves to her and already know about her baptism on the 31st!
This week has been such a growing experience. God Will help you no matter what your weeknesses are as he did with Mary! You can Change Just start somewhere.

Then To know that YOU can grow as you study Gods word! To change our hearts all we have to do is serve! When we serve God we are serving others! This has been something I have learned and goals help us achieve things by the plans we make and when we achieve our plans we are doing things and feeling success! Also, When "Gods thought's are not our thoughts" Pray to know your weeknesses! A quote that stuck out in district meeting this week is "look at everyone as though they are perfect. We are all perfect, just progressing!" "The heart will follow as the mind changes!" So seek knowledge to change your thoughts.
Pictures!
I had Arby's this week!
Then We had a zone activity with throwing water balloons and EGGS!
OH AND I SAW A GREAT BLUE HERRING! I didn't know they were out here!
Love you all !
2 weeks left!
November 3rd I get home. That will be a great day and sad day but I know that a mission has changed me! God has changed lives! Always seek to have faith and learn more about it! Remember that God love's You no matter what because you are his CHILD!
Family HISTORY IS SO IMPORTANT! FAMILY SEARCH.org you can find out where you came from!
Love,
