Dear Family,

Well I hate to say it, but im not in the mood to write. This week was pretty good, except for the rain!! We found some awesome families and are having trouble keeping up with our current investigators. Yone, our baptismal date for this weekend, got sick and won´t be able to be baptized this week. BUT I know she will be able to be baptized later on, she is awesome!

We only have about two weeks left in the transfer so I am getting pretty nervous! Our mission will be getting 14 new missionaries so its even possible I could open a new area and train at the same time!! AHH! Haha that would be sweet though.

I definitely agree with what Elder Neuenswander said in his letter. EVERY person has such an important role in the church. Usually people who are inactive are just lazy and don´t want to help. Its amazing how many faithful members there are that don´t magnify their callings. COULD YOU IMAGINE how the church would be if everyone did their part!? That’s what Zion is all about. Think of the pioneers.. they sure were a lot more closer to Zion than we are. We all have an important part as members of the church. One of the biggest problems is helping others. Its amazing how much we don’t. Sure the church does tons of service, im not saying we do nothing. But we have an amazing capacity to do so much more. People here ask for my money a lot. Usually I just say no but the other day this guy was really needing food. So I was like well, if you want food come with me. So I took him to a snack stand and bought some hamburgers and a coke for him and his buddies. Sure, I really could have used the 5 bucks, but he needed it more. Its amazing the impact service has on people. So this week, I challenge you all to fulfill your callings, do your visiting teaching (however it is in English) and help others!! You will feel so much better. Just like Gordon B. Hinckleys dad said to him, “Forget yourself and  GO TO WORK!” haha what an amazing phrase.
Have a great week, sorry this letter is so short, I love you all!
