Hola amigos y familia y tortugas y otras personas ‏

Hey everybody how has it been going. Its been pretty good here. We have been staying busy searching and hunting for those who are ready for the gospel.

But one of the big things we had this week was a zone conference. It came to us quickly this last Tuesday. We had President Cleveland there and we learned a lot. One of the big things that was emphasized was referrals, and invitations to church. The last few months the mission as a whole has drooped a little with numbers investigators at church. It was a long day of meetings, it was really good but it was long lasted till about 4 O'clock and then afterwards we had to stick around to get some temple interviews. Its pretty fun to say that I got coach Clevelands signature now. While I was waiting I got to talk with Sister Cleveland a little bit and that was fun and even got to talk with President Cleveland a little bit more as well and ya a pretty good day. Afterwards we had dinner with the family Cervantes which was fun and tasty. Fried chicken, tortillas, pinto beans, and home made salsa, and some rice.

We had plans to do some service for a sister in the branch but unfortunately there was a change in plans as she had to go down to Mexico to visit her ailing father (he is almost done) but she got to visit him and it was very emotional. If you could keep the Carlos's in your prayers that would be very much appreciated. 

Fear not though we still had a chance to go and do some service this time at a farm like house. I mean the house is located in the middle of no where, and we had a fun time though there was a ton to do. From picking up branches and logs, to digging up plants, and moving tons of bricks. But at the end we feasted on the delicious food of pizza and root beer. The service all together lasted about 4 to 5 hours so it was a good chunk of the day but it was fun to do something different and a bit dirty.

This Sunday we had a excellent sacrament meeting, sadly no investigators at church but it was excellent from the talks and the classes. 

Overall a good week. We taught a fair amount of people and have a potentially solid investigator who lives in a town about 20 minutes away whose name is Miguel. I will report more on that later when we get our next lesson in with him.
