Hey everyone!!!!

This week has been crazy!! As most of you know I have reached my year mark. Not that big of a deal, but it happened.

This week we also moved out of our old house and into a new one in our area!! Very exciting!!!! The house we moved into was an interesting experience. When we moved in we didn't have ANYTHING. By the end of the day we had 2 beds. NO blankets and we were lucky to have brought pillows. We had no stove, no water, no anything. And we had to stay in the house all that day and the next. This week we were mainly in the house untill we were able to find ward missionaries to come work with us.
  The Lord blessed our little time with many lessons and new investigators.  All is well. Now we have a stove, a fridge, blankets, and a place to put our clothes!! Very exciting!!!

Also this week we had Mormon helping Hands. It was sooo cool!! The pictures I'm sending are from the service where we dug garbage pits and cleaned this baby clinic. It was soo cool. But other then that we had Zone Conference. SOOO amazing!!! It was my companions last one. Kind of weird to see him give his final testimony. But he's a really cool guy.

Now for those of you who know me, I am a geek. And my companion is a HUGE geek as well. We talk about zombies, star wars, D&D (Dungeons and Dragons for you normal people), and video games alot. It's been pretty cool. We realized that Zimbabwe or South Africa would be an amazing place to be during the zombie apocalypse. We realized that the high walls, big yards, and access to guns would make this an ideal area. But don't worry. We've also been discussing about Book of Mormon theories like where the Book of Mormon took place and also how we can help best show investigators to know that this is the true church on the earth once more. It's pretty sweet. Sorry this email is short. I have to thank all of you for writing me on my year mark. Means a lot to me and i can't wait to hear from you next week!! Hope all is well with you all!!

God bless,
