Well another crazy week.
I don't know what to write, but this it was super hard. I was tested in so many ways. I thought I understood a little bit about the mission, or really about the atonement of Jesus Christ. This mission is so hard sometimes I don't think I can do it. It is pushing more than anything I have done. Keep me in your prays always.

Hello family
So this week was yet another fast one. We started the week out with a zone meeting which went really well. My comp and I did some great work and we both gave some amazing trainings to the zone. Then Wednesday we had interviews with the new president, which was really cool. He seems really good and has really good ideas with what he wants to do with the mission. I have a lot of faith that he will make a great change in the mission. That night we taught a few people. Thursday we did some crazy work, teaching a ton of people, and trying to help find new people to help the ward grow. Friday I had two interviews to do, which were cool, and then we had a activity in the ward. It turned out to be really fun. Saturday I did two more interviews which were good. I felt like I was on the bus the whole week. Sunday was just a normal day working hard and wanting to sleep, and today we are about to have a zone activity which should be super cool.
Love you all

Well this week was yet another one full of wild cards. To start this week Tuesday we had like a million things planed but as always everything fell through. So we walked the streets trying to get an idea what is in our area. Which is wow, our area is really big. We talked with a ton of people, but it seemed like everyone was a little cold. Wednesday was really cool, we taught a few people and then that night we had a family night with the ward at the church. When we got there, no one had planed anything, so I took over and taught a wonderful lesson and then we played some cool games that were related and fun was had by all. We had a new friend there Sandro which was amazing, he has been going to church for a little bit and we got to know him a little last week. He wants to be baptized in 3 weeks or less, so we are going to help him with that. It is going to be awesome. Thursday my comp. Elder Brenchley he got really sick. and I mean like deathly sick. We stayed in and I took care of him. Thursday and Friday. Sabado was a normal day, taught a few lessons then got some things ready for Sunday. Sunday we had a huge program that we were made part of. All the youth in the stake had like a mini MTC and they have been there since Friday. Sunday when we got there, we had church and then my zone and I worked with them doing trainings and then we all split up and we hit the streets. We went door to door talking person to person, bringing the happy news that we have a savior and that he loves us and wants us to come home to him. It was amazing we worked hard and fun was really had by all. I would like to share some thing that happened that night. I was with two young men who were getting ready to serve a mission, and as we were walking I saw a man sitting on the side walk, and he seemed a little sad and I felt that we need to talk with him. We went over started talking, and this man he was thinking about what he wanted in his life. He was lost and didn't know what to do. We were able to help him find a path to follow, and he was super excited to have us meet his family. He said that his biggest fear was that he was going to lose his wife and two young kids, that touched my heart. I want to have my family so much. I can't wait until I can see my mom and dad and my brothers. I would do anything to see them, but I can't wait until I can have my own family. It will give me purpose in life. That night I had a lot of meetings with all the leaders to help the zone. To end the night I had dinner with all my missionaries and that was the best thing that they could have given me. The friendships you make are unreal, and the night ended with a ton of laughter. Today we went hiking and let me tell you that was so much fun. We went to this one high mountain and we could see everything. It was beautiful and had some amazing air. It was the best way to start a day, it makes me want to do some hikes when I get home so I can see the world more. I miss trees and wild. I work in a city and sometimes that really kills you. Everything we do only last for a moment, so we need to have as much fun as possible because you don't know if you can go back.
A little quote for you

Well mother yet another week has passed by. So to update everyone with what has been happening. I am a Zone leader which, let's be honest, it's hard. It is fun and rewarding. As always I am running around like a chicken without a head, but that's the real life of someone that is working. I was sent with a good friend of mine to open an area. This means that we don't know where anything is and it's really hard. That is the life of a true missionary. This week we just tried to find new people to teach and our lunches. This week a few lunches fell through, but as we learned on Sunday that is normal. I think I will be very hungry in this area. Sunday we had a wild card, because there was only about 30 members. The ward is struggling and they sent us there to help it. I gave a talk Sunday with a 30 sec warning, which was amazing. My companion Elder Brenchely has only 5 weeks left before he goes home. Please keep me in your prayers, I would love that. This week was good and we are ready for yet another week. I have learned more about myself, and what will help me be ready for what comes next. It is crazy how much time has flown by. I am ready for the next adventure, the mission is turning me into a man of God.

Well, where to start
I can't believe that yet another week has passed, this week has been one of the bigger and harder weeks of my mission. To start, I don't know if I have been told no or shut down or yelled at so much in my life, for just trying to help people have better lives. It seems like this work will never become better, and that trying to help these people is like trying to run on water or run through fire, it's impossible without the help of the Lord I will never get across.
This week I learned more about me, and what I need to do when I get home then anything else. It's crazy I thought that I was ready for the world, this week the lord showed me that I am not ready and I have so much to learn. This week we painted a lot, helped a lot of people, and even helped with the other elders. It was funny on Sunday I was at the church of one of my elders and the president of the stake, he was surprised to see me at church three times helping my district and all the people they are teaching. He said it's great to see me even though I am not part of the ward. All the members of the 3 wards treat me as if I was their missionary and that I am serving them even though I don't need to. He was surprised.. and looked at me and said you give me hope that we will have great leaders in the future. I just laughed yeah that won't be me. In my ward we had a great change, a new bishop was called and yeah everything will change now, I am really hoping that this will be a change for the good. Today we are going to play soccer with the elders in my zone, and then I am doing a barbecue with some members for all the elders. I guess that's what a leader does. Any way this week was for me to look a little deeper in my heart and to see who I truly am.... Have an amazing week.

Hey family
This week was a wild one, it started with getting a call late at night that Elder De Jesus will be leaving on Wednesday. Tuesday I had some big meeting with some leaders of the stake and with some bishops. I was with the zone of elders, we planned some new activities and helped everyone. Then we got home to clean up the house and help Elder De Jesus pack up. Wednesday we went to the office and as we were waiting, president pulled me in his office. We sat and talked and talked for like 3 hours, about the mission about the elders what was going to happen and what we needed to do to get ready for the next president, because this is the last week of president Andrew. It was weird because I am just one elder, but president puts a lot of trust in me. Then we went to the airport, we meet the family of Elder De Jesus and left him with the family. The President and I went and meet up with some new elders and we ate pizza and talked about life and what he was going to do when he goes home. Then I got a taxi and went home. This week has been long, working our butts off and trying to find new people to teach. I can't believe how much time has passed. Friday I did a new activity for 3 wards that went really well. We helped a lot of new people got to know the church. Then of course Sunday I went to church 3 times, three different wards to help my elders and the wards. To tell the truth I am having a hard time sleeping but that's life haha. Sorry I haven't been able to write much, life has been super busy.
Love D1
