Halloween Week

Hey Everyone! 

I seriously can't believe that it's already Monday again. The weeks are going by so fast here and it's making me nervous. If every week goes by this fast, then these two years are going to be awfully short! While there are some hard times throughout the days they are overshadowed so strongly by the good times that it makes up for it! 

A little update on last weeks story. We went over to the guy's house (the guy who texted us he couldn't join) and we had a "Do or Die" lesson with him. Basically it was supposed to be our last meeting with them if they weren't going to progress any further. The lesson actually went VERY well and we talked about his concerns and while he didn't come any closer to accepting the gospel he still is trying. He gave us a booklet that he printed out entitled, "Why I can't become a Mormon". I was laughing because it was obviously all stuff that he got on some Anti-Mormon site because I seriously doubt he found the time to study Joseph Smith's journals. But we ended the night on great terms and he's going to invite us to his graduation. He's such a great guy but just not entirely ready right now and we'll be there for him when he decided he is ready. 

This week for Halloween my companion and I traded name tags and ties so that we dressed up like each other. I don't know how many people actually understood the joke, but hey I thought it was pretty clever. We've had a lot of investigators coming to ward functions this week which has been so great! I love the ward I'm serving in. They are so helpful and loving to everyone that we bring in which makes it very nice. They feel fellowship the minute they step in the building and it really does make all the difference. 

We have a couple, Jose and Christina who are about to be baptized. We started teaching them right when I got here and we have been meeting with them a couple times a week and it's been so much fun. They are such neat people. I know that the Lord has been preparing them to receive the Gospel and lead us to their front door at the perfect time. They came to church yesterday and their kids didn't want to leave they were having so much fun! We've had some wonderful spiritual experiences with them that have grown my faith and have really opened my eyes to the problems that everyone has to go through and how the gospel can really help everyone with any circumstance. 

We also had zone conference this week! It was amazing, it was like a spiritual tidal wave the whole entire day. I can't get over how loving the Mission president and his wife are. They are seriously the best people in the entire world and the way they care for each and everyone of us is so amazing! Learning to love everyone has definitely been emphasized in my mission. Through love and developing  Christlike attributes we can truly change the world! 

Love the Gospel, Love my mission, and Love you all!
