Happy valentines to everyone back at home!
They have valentines day here but it's not really a celebrated day. It was also my comps b-day this weekend and we held a missionary fireside to help out the members with finding people for the gospel. It went really well. I was scared that we were going to do a terrible job but it went really well. I think that we will have a ton more referrals coming in, it should be great. So they announced the name of our new mission pres here! His name is pres. Carlos. He is from South Dakota! I'm excited to have an American president but I'm going to miss pres. Villanueva very much. He is such a nice person and one of the most loving people I have ever met along with his wife. She is just like a mom for all us missionaries and we are really lucky to have them here. So this week has been pretty normal as far as the work goes. It is definitely summer here! The sun is way hot during the day. The mornings here are cold though that I could see my breath this morning! It was awesome. I was way happy because it's so hot. I'm loving being a missionary. I cant tell you enough how awesome and joyful this really is. Even though at times I miss home and I miss the little things in life, I would have to say that I would put this first for sure. My testimony is growing and so is my love for other people. I love the language and the culture. The people here are so nice and giving and they have a love for the gospel. One ward member didn't have money to get a ride to the church yesterday so her and her family got up at 5am and walked 3.5 hours to get to church on time! That showed me her love for the gospel and her love to come to church and keep the commandments. She is a great example to the ward and to the lord and to all of us! My testimony has grown from that experience. I'm glad that the doctors have figured out whats going on with grandma. I know that she will continue to improve if we keep her in our prayers. Keep me posted on her. We had a dinner appointment last night at this one family that lives right up the street from us and every time we eat there I feel like I'm going to pop after eating. The food is sooooo good! haha me and elder bayles have been doing really well together and we are both happy. Its so much better when a companionship gets along. It shows in the work and in our message to the people. We have one family that we just found, the fontiveras family, and they seem to have accepted the message in our first visit. We are going back to them twice this week and I hope we can get them to church on Sunday so they can feel the spirit that you only feel by going to church. Well that's all for this week! I hope your week goes great and that you all are safe. I love and miss you all.
