Hey Y'all!
We had a decent week here. Not quite as good as we were hoping so that is why we have a great week planned for this next week! It should be a great one. We still had some great things happen though.

We have been meeting fairly regularly with Jean Louis and Francisco the two brothers that were baptized back in October. They are both awesome! They are 18 and 21 and honestly, I just wish we could go hang out with them and go hunting or something like that. But hey, there is nothing better to talk about then the Gospel. It is such a blessing in every way. it has been really neat to see the gospel change them as their focus and what is important to them changes. It is really incredible.

On Thursday we had a Zone Conference down in Vero Beach. It was about an hour drive for us and we had to be there by 7 so it was an early morning. Cool thing was is we drove down A1A to get there. A1A goes right down the coast and for most of the drive there were a bunch of ocean front houses on the one side and the Indian River on the other side. There was a bridge that we crossed at the Sebastian inlet and that got us up high enough to see the ocean and the sun a little over half way out of the water. It was super pretty.

MIssionary work is a fun wonderful thing. My most favorite (and in a way least favorite) thing is the people. Now there will always be people that swear at you as they drive by and say they love Satan. On the other hand you get to meet some of the most amazing people that just have pure desires to change and grow closer to God. I absolutely love talking with some of the recent converts here in the ward and talking with them about the gospel. Their new found love for the gospel is so incredibly powerful. I love it so much. It reminds how much I love the gospel. It is so incredibly awesome!
Anyways I hope y'all have an amazing week!

This is my companion.... Haha He sunk himself down into the sand but in the picture it looks like he is coming up out of the water.

So, the matching sweats. Me and two other elders in my district found them at Ross. We decided we all had to get a pair and wear them to the beach.  Haha probably one of the ugliest articles of clothing I have ever worn. But hey, we almost matched the sunrise.
