FAMILIA! ESTA SEMANA FUE INCREIBLE! Entonces quiero decirles todo sobre lo.

This week we have been doing a lot of praying to come closer to the members of the Branch and how we could exactly go about doing that. Yesterday we were in a trailer park following up with a few people we had talked to this week. We were walking around a corner and I looked up and saw three kids running at us from about 100 yards away. I turned to Elder Krupa and said, "Is that David?" (A member in the branch. He is about 6 years old) Before Elder Krupa had a chance to respond we heard, "MISIONEROS" They kept on running and came and gave us hugs. It was super cool! They grabbed our hands and started pulling and said, "Vengan a la casa de mi mama!" (Come to my Mom's house!) so we said, We'll be over in a little bit ok? We need to check up on a few more people! After we had finished following up we walked over and they welcomed us in and there happened to be 3 families from the branch all having dinner! So we talked to them for a few minutes, shared a little message with them and were on our way.j It is great to feel like we are getting to know them all a little better and connecting with them a little more. It was definitely an answer to our prayers!

We had Zone Conference this week as well and it was super good! They talked a lot about working through the members. From a missionaries standpoint it really is a blessing when the members are doing their part of the work. As missionaries we really are just here to help the members with their work sharing the gospel. When the members do that it really makes everything go so much smoother.

This week was super good! Elder Krupa and I are having a RIOT! It's just been a complete blast! Thank you for all your support! Love you! Hope you all are doing well!

Strength and Honor
