Hello Family!

 Well this week has definitely been a good one. We have had a great week and have had a ton of fun this week as well. 

this past week we have been working really hard... we recently picked up an older man who has allot of good questions. First we taught him the Plan of Salvation because he wanted to know where we went after death, because he currently goes to a different church and his church doesn't tell him anything like that. The pastor just goes up and starts talking and that's it so it was really cool. He is really concerned about his salvation and at the end of that lesson he came up with the concern of how does he know which church is the true church? He was confused why there are many churches these days, so it was really cool and we are really excited for him.

Wowwwwwwwwwww!!! looks like the farewell's went really well and it looks like allot of people showed up! It's great to see some pictures of everyone back home and it looks like your all doing really well. I just wished I could have been there to see them but that's okay i'll be there for their homecomings. I feel so blessed to have such a great family and great siblings to look up to and to support me. Also great friends which always support and help me each time I have a trial or challenged placed before me. 
I can't believe they're already going out on there missions.... that means time is winding down for me:(  it has been the best experience I have ever had and I wouldn't trade my mission for anything. I have truly grown to love the hmong people and am so blessed to know them. They are amazing people who I just stand in awe of when I hear their stories and the things that they have gone through.

I think the most important thing I have obtained on my mission is charity and to have Christ like love for everyone. I know before I was a missionary I didn't have charity. I was selfish and it was all about me... but now that my conversion has deepened and that my views have changed in life and I have become a spiritual son of God and I have experience joy everyday of my mission and it is because of charity and because I continue to press forward and serve the Lord. Here is a really cool quote I like and I will leave it with you it is by Elder Worthlin:

"There is one word that frees us of all the weight and pain of life: that word is LOVE" 
I hope we all will have Christ like love/charity and help each other out through service or whatever it may be.

Love you all,
