I am being transferred this week. I don’t have a clue where I’ll end up.

 The mesh... 100 times better it actually breaths. 

The news from Jonesboro this week. I killed some chickens this week, ​it was crazy de-feathered them and gutted them too. We may be getting to eat them this Tuesday. 

Before

After

I will send some pictures for y’all. 2 more Spanish Elders are coming out, we need them. Elder Meyers (my last companion) is getting to train one of them. He has wanted to train for so long. I am thinking that I will be going out to Russellville. Ana reset her date for the 11th of September. I am going to see if I can come back to Jonesboro to see her get baptized; I love that girl and that family we are going to be eating with them tonight. Hot week on bikes it was 97 one day and we started sweating before we had even left the complex, Yep, it was bad hot that day. We did not get a ton of lessons but we did a lot of good work and the member that was thinking of leaving the church is no longer thinking to do so. I am praying for y’all and love y’all.

     So this week... It was a hard one. We still did really good 20 lessons which is the mission goal but it was one of the weeks that a lot of stuff just went wrong.

    You can tell Pear that I am teaching Princess Ana (Ana and her family played the last 15 minutes of frozen when we were there. Ana’s nephew calls her princess Ana.

     We go on bikes next week, and going on bikes next week does not sound fun.

Elder Ramirez had the bed bugs. My stuff looked all clean, hoping it stays that way.

     For the first time I got a media referral it is a lady ready to be baptized... we have not ever got to meet her but we are starting to teach her cousin and cousin’s spouse that live with her. We are hoping that soon we will get the chance to start teaching her and her son but we will see. 

Doing good, hope y’all are well.

 Happy birthday Dad, Ken, and Pear!

So my one year report.... It was good. I can actually speak Spanish now which is good… My goals for this next year.... I don’t want to be in leadership.... at all. I would like to stay just as a normal missionary. Which Elder Child's once told me was a sign of a good missionary.  Well I guess my goals are pretty much the same as they were this past year. To bring souls to God! This past year has gone pretty fast. I’m thinking this next year will go even faster.

  IT is just so so so hot. The 200 days are coming... we had a day this last week that hit 100 and 80% hum. Not fun when you can feel yourself start to sweat just walking to your car. Not many storms, but there is a system that is coming in. this week should get pretty cool… we are at least hoping for some cooler weather.

 Out here we face a lot of anti and people just randomly pulling crap on us. Like how Joe smith blew up trains in Arkansas.... when he never came to Arkansas... The only way to fight anti is with testimony and if they are not getting testimony then they will only get worse. God's children never leave without a fight. Be a savior on mount Zion. How great is the worth of soul’s mom? 

Good job dad for working hard serve god and gain Amistad.

So this week has been one of the most exhausting but yet successful weeks of my mission. Walk week.... So so, so hot... we sweated out all of our clothing just dripping.. Not very appealing but we got 32 lessons. The standard the people want to hit in the mission is 20. Not to mention we are teaching some part member families and so 7 lessons with a member. It was one of the times when you get home Sunday night and just think Thanks Heavenly Father, we just saw so many opportunities that we could have never had without you. Ana Ozorio has solidified the goal of the 24th... yes pioneer day we are going for a baptism of one of my favorite people. We were over there yesterday with one of her good friends who is a member and we did lesson 5 which is about temples and has just been moved to a lesson we need to teach before baptism. This lessons went so well that I feel like could have been one “the district” videos and was full on lead by the spirit. 

I get along really well with elder Jardine. I am actually really enjoying my time here in Jonesboro. We are now trying to get some Spanish sisters here to help us out. 

Your logistics question we got the slips to pick up the packages Saturday so we are going today before we have a picnic with some people in the ward with Ana and Christian her nephew. 

Love y'all
