Hey homies.

If you get my title you are pretty cool hahaha! Anyway we had another solid week and last little bit out here in Terryville. It's been 6 weeks but we have a long transfer so a couple more weeks to go. I'm grateful I get Elder Powell for 2 more weeks and we praying another whole transfer! We have been working super great together as well as hard and smart. I've found the key is to work hard but working hard is working smart and really being invested for the right reasons. That is the key in life as well as missionary work.

Anyway I'm just going to give a few highlights of what's happened since I last emailed. First off, Silvia is the goat! Thanks for the prayer...please continue to pray for her and Herman. We have had some very spiritual lessons and she is so open hearted and really believes what we are teaching is true. Going deeper in the plan of salvation really made sense to her. She has accepted to be baptized!!! And she came to church for the first time yesterday! I love Silvia and I cannot wait for her to feel the peace and happiness of knowing Gods plan and living it. Like that's probably the thing I love the most about the gospel. God has a specific plan for every single one of us and our challenge is over coming the world to follow that plan.

Also Herman is doing good, definitely at a slower pace than Silvia.  He had a few too many beers when we went the other day but he is definitely growing day by day as well it's just a little slower. He asked me if I wanted one so I told him I'm a Heineken guy not corona...haha!!l. Anyways on the real we were able to find a single mom and her kid who is 15. Margaret and Angelise! We've knocked on their door 5 times previous and were about to give up, but Elder Powell thought Friday night was the night so we went and turns out they are super down. God has prepared them and they need it in there lives. We are seeing them again Tuesday so I will let you know! Keep them in your prayers!

Also another cool thing is Cesar, the returning member who hasn't been to church in a long while, has now come for the past 2 weeks in a row! He's super cool and just being friends, playing ball and going out to eat with him has really made a big difference for him! Also we were able to start more basketball (hahahahaha surprise right) on Saturday mornings at 10:30 and we've been inviting everyone. We finally had a good week with 2 investigators, a returning member and a few other members balling with us.  We think and hope it's gonna be a sweet tool for others to see what we are all about!

I hope you all have a great one out there wherever you are.  Thanks for everyone that sent birthday wishes a few weeks back and especially to my family and extended family for everything! Grandma and mom the packages hit the spot!  Anyway I know the family was in lake Powell this week but that's overrated,,,,,it's way better to be wearing a shirt and tie in 100 percent humidity getting a sweet farmers tan on Long Island being a missionary! Love you all and hope you have a great week. Happy birthday to my Uncle Rob, one of my biggest examples....I love him and our family so much.

Later on
