Back home again... no not that home.

Memphis Spanish South, the place I started my mission, and now I am white washing it with my friend Elder Fortie.... we have only known one another over the phone so I called him phonetie but I really like him. He is a good guy and I have a feeling we are going to have a good time here. It is nice because we both know the members he was the one that I replaced with I got put in Memphis north. But I get to eat with the Benitez ever week. (Yes mom that was the guy you didn’t know that added you on Facebook) 

This last week we’ve been running around trying to find all the people that the other Elder’s had been teaching before. And now we are going to be on bikes trying to make a new teaching pool. But it was sweet yesterday I had the chance to find a less active that I had met with when I was serving here last time. I am hoping that we can help to reactivate him. 

Not a lot more to report this week. I am doing well. Wednesday we will be going over the river to Little Rock. Jardine and I are going to party over on the bus that they are getting. (He is in Memphis midtown now) 

Love y’all

Well after 6 weeks in the north of Memphis they are moving me down to Memphis South

3305 W. Monticello Circle 

Memphis TN 38115

 I already know where I am going.... it is going to be 6 weeks of a lot of work but I am excited to pull strong to the end. 

This week we have had a lot of good lessons we did see Alvaro again and set a baptism date with him for the 30th of this month. I feel bad about not being able to be at the baptism because I will be leaving the area. This week at church a guy showed up randomly to sacrament meeting. Elder Henderson and I talked to him. He was on YouTube and saw the Joseph Smith movie and wanted to know more so he looked up what time the Spanish branch was. He stayed for 2 hours and then had to go but he really liked it. 

Love y’all

The Festival was fun I got to meet people from all over central and South America from Brazil to Colombia, Mexico to Argentina. It was a lot of fun and the whole district got to be there. It is really nice to see that the Spanish district is starting to have a comeback. We have a lot of hope for the month of May. East did have the baptism... Juan baptized Jesus. Yesterday The RS spread around that it was my birthday and so some of the members brought some gifts and Sister Perez the branch president's wife made a cake. Not to mention we had a break the fast and bunch of people came. In the middle of it one of the members came up to me and my companion and told us that her boyfriend wants to get baptized.... and he lives in our area!

This week we are going to the Memphis pyramid where the Bass pro shop is. It’s one of the biggest bass pro shops in the world. Right out next to the Mississippi river. Then back to work.
