HELLLLLLOOOO!!!
So this week was amazing!! it flew by so fast! i think i am finally losing myself in the work! The people were teaching are doing great the area is just ready to hear the good word! So last wednesday we had a zone confrence in San Clemente which was beautful and Edler Zwick of the Seventy came with his wife. he is such an amazing guy. we got to meet him and talk with him he shared some amazing things this week like how to build our foundations and stuff like that. he said exactly what i needed to hear. He talked about how important it is to serve a mission and do everything you can do make it the most. i have alot of good stuff i will prob write in a letter home about it. But he talked and taught us for like 4 hours and it was the strongest spirit i have ever felt. he changed my mission. then we had a testimonty meeting with him and some of us got to share ours with him so i took the chance and did it it was a good experince.
So this week has been so good i havent had any hard morning and just been working hard and having a good attitude about all the work  out of the 7 days i maybe had one bad day but thats it. so all is good! I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY haha its fun. i was looking back and ive been almost out 2 months now and i think to myself about the hard times were i thought i was misserable and stuff i think about it and i was happy i was the happiest i ever been i am so happy so to be here and dont want to leave this mission. it has changed my life so much and i have learned so much.
As Elder Zwick said "challnges are a good thing it means the lord is ready for you to grow, so ask for challenges so that you can grow so you can be with him in the last day."
So i have been doing really good! my foot has been a problem though im calling Sister Cook today to try and get that shot and see what i can do im doign everytthing i can but i think i need treatment and stuff. so yeah ill let you know when that happens.
 
So we have been teaching the Mciver family and they are loving it in fact we set a baptismal Date for them on the 27th and it was funny at the trunk or treat saturday he went up to the Bishop and told him that he is going to be baptized at the end of the month. So we have 3 bapstims this month if the other lady Gina keeps her date of next week she has been having doubts and stuff its hard but i think she will come through. Then we started to teach a 9 yrold girl Emma talk about hard. its hard to explain gods plan for us to a 9 yr old haha. but her mom is in active and wants her daughter to have the chance to be baptized so by the end of december we could have 4 bapstims that is really rare to see soits amazing to see all this work that is being done.
The ward here is amazing we had a fun trunk or treat saturday and they fed us like crazy! and ready for this the big news haha i weighed myslef the other day and i have ganied 15 pounds haha amazingness i was pretty shocked but it was funny.
