Anniversary

Familia!

It sounds like everyone had a great week! Fun to see some pictures of
CJ getting back from the mish. I can't believe he's back already! My
last companion emailed me and said that it all just feels like a
dream. He and I became real good buddies, so it was a fun transfer. My
new companion is fun too. He's got a real outgoing, loud personality
so he keeps things light haha. He's from Houston, Texas and served
about 8 months in Brazil and then had to go home and then came out
here to finish his mission. He'll go home in August. I forgot to wish
you guys a happy anniversary last week! Funny enough, Elder Fifita's
parents anniversary is on the same day! And it was the day that he got
home, so it was a good present for them haha.

You'll have to send me some pictures of Toni's new baby boy! That's
exciting! So many little babies that I'll have to meet haha.

It's still been pretty tough to find new people to teach, but it was a
good week. We had a couple lessons with Leslie and Alex this past
week, but they just kind of disappeared on Sunday. That's what
happened last week as well, so we're going to set some expectations
with them and hopefully help them to realize how important our message
is. Delia had to work yesterday too, so she wasn't able to make it to
church. At this point in my mission, we're really just searching for
the elect. They're out there, but we've gotta find them haha. Keep
praying that we'll be able to find them.

I mentioned a few weeks ago that Ali and Crystal were going to get
baptized and they did a couple weekends ago! They got married on the
Saturday and then baptized on the Sunday. I ran into a couple members
that I knew from that ward and they told me about it. Super exciting!
I can still remember the night that we found them. It was super cold
and neither my companion or I felt like talking to anyone haha. Crazy
how it's always the last person you talk to and the last door you
knock though. I love the gospel. I'm so grateful to be a missionary
and have the chance to share the gospel and help people in whatever
situation they might be in. The gospel makes bad men good and good men
better. I hope you all have a great week. Love you!
