Well i dont have a whole lot of time but here goes my list and email for the week.. so visiting my first area last week was awesome.. all 5 of my converts though have moved out of the area though so that was sad that i couldnt see any of them.. my maria fernanda and sergio are still doing well.. that is the couple i got married.. she was a counselor in the YW for a while so that was cool to hear.. i visited a lot of famlies and they were excited to see me and happy that i hadnt forgot about them.. i found three kids contacting and got them to church their and they were all baptized now and all doing well in the church.. they were exciting to see me and it was really exciting to see the fruits of my labor.. our meeting with pres watts was good and we learned a lot.. a lot was focused on a plan we need to put into effect in our wards that was given my elder parry of the 12 apostles.. we are doing it little by little and my and my comp were able to feel the spirit and recieve some really good ideas on how to put it into use in our ward and in the whole zone.. it is a big thing to do but we broke it down into four week and we are going to do it little by little so its not such a daunting task.. hopefully it turns out welll though because working more efficiently with members is the key to having more success.. we also talked about having the faith to baptize 4 a month.. i think we will be able to do that next month and before i come home.. because we have some really good possiblities that im going to tell yall about and we are super excited about them.. elder allen the elder i trained is a zone leader now.. he is a good missionary and it was fun to see him last mon and tues.. he is doing really well and already has almost 15 months!! thanks jen and joc for the packages yall sent me.. they were awesome and i loved the pics.. on weds when we left i prayed thatd wed find a fam and in the first lesson we did.. that was a neat experience cause our prayer and desire was almost answered immetiately.. i know that God answers our prayers.. not always that fast but He does in His form and in the right time.. a lady named dunia this week told us that she was to have her daughter get baptized and her daughter is 10 and has the same desire.. so we put a baptismal date with her and we have the date for the 10 of feb.. so that was exciting and came out of no where.. we found another family too.. the couples names are leopoldo and carmen.. we taught them about the Bom and they understood it perfectly and they understood about the prophet and the organization of the church..it was really neat and they are prepared.. they need to get married though but seem to be ready to recieve the gospel.. the fam villalobos too are doing well. they arent leaving coban so that was answer to our prayers and fast.. they didnt come to church though and they seem a little down.. we are working though with them and they have baptism in mind we just need to work really hard on their testimonies of the BOM and Joseph Smith..please remember them in yalls prayers..alan the 22 year old was in church again and doing really well.. he says his parents support him going to church and he is still reading the BOM and progressing.. this week we are going to put a baptismal date with him.. we went exploring kind of on fri.. it was fun and we got to know our area more and we taught two lessons and had kids from the ward help us.. it was fun and i have some cool pics of where we went.. the two 9 year olds we baptized were both in church yesterday and they seem to be doing very well and their families are getting stronger still too.. so that was awesome to see.. we had 16 lessons with member last week.. thats the most ive ever had.. it was awesome and the members and future missionaries are helping us out a ton and we are starting to see a change in our ward and a lot more success in the missionary work.. on sat we taught couple for the first time and then yesterday they were in church.. it was awesome and they liked it a lot.. last week was just tight and the spirit really guided us to people.. we definitely saw Gods hand in the work last week and we were very blessed to find famlilies (3) and other very good possiblities for baptism.. that really was one of the best weeks of my mission.. everything went almost perfect.. yesterday too i gave three blessings to ladies or ym who dont have a priesthood holder in the house.. it was really nice to be able to help them and give them blessings of health and comfort.. i really have taken for granted having dad in the house always there to give us blessings whe n we needed them.. anyway love yall a lot and take care.. im still focused but in one month from today i will be with some of yall!!!
