Hey everyone how are you all doing we had a great week this week and I had my last baptism right before I come home it is a good way to finish he is such a good guy with a strong testimony and i am very excited for him he wants to go to the temple soon. It was the perfect way to finish my mission Now it is christmas time and we will just be visiting alot of members. We are also teaching  a family of 4 that in January will hopefully be baptized they are doing good. I found out that one of my members here will be flying to utah on the 19th to go to the mtc and I might try and go pick him up cause he is stuck in Utah for a day with no one to pick him up so that will be good. We also got to watch the christmas devotional which was good Christmas really needs to be brought back to the real meaning and focus on Jesus Christ then we will find real joy from Christmas and serve others. sometimes Christmas with nothing is the best Christmas and definitely one that you will remember. Well I hope you are all doing well and enjoying the holiday season. love you all.

Well I guess I'll just write you all a quick letter and tell you that I am okay and that nothing really happend we just had to stay inside all day yesterday for nothing it didnt even hit until late last night and it only lasted about 1 hour and it wasnt very bad here. Pday was very boring sitting in the house all day long. We do have a baptism coming up this week so hopefully it goes through his interview will be later today actually. Well not much went down last week just people preparing for the storm and stuff like that so nothing to exciting for my week. We have been working hard. Its a little different actually coming to an end of my mission. Everything I am doing is preparing for going home I am dealing with government things and last interviews and stuff like that next week we have a class we will go to that is supposed to help us adjust and get back into the world. Well it will be good. Just have to finish strong. Well love you all and hope you have a good week talk next week.

We had a great week this week and it went quick it first started out with me having to go to the imigration to get fingerprinted and to sign a lot of papers for me to go home. We finally got that all finished up then I had to go and have an xray of my chest to check for turbercioloses or something like that. after that day we finally got to get to work . We found a few new investigators but they were just part member familes that want their kids baptized and so we will work on that for the next little bit. We also had our stake confrence this week and president Ardern came and spoke and it was really good again the focus was on missionary work and then towards the single adults. He really hit on how important the members are to missionary work, and making sure that a convert will stay in the church. Then he spoke on how the single adults are letting the world get to them and they are losing focus of the guidance that is given from the prophet. He told us all not to be afraid even if you dont think you are ready. If we live the gospel and pay our tithes the lord will make up for the rest. He gave a really good talk and I enjoyed it very much. He spoke very bold to us all. I have had a great week and i know that this is the true church and that Heavenly Father will help us when we are in need but we must do all that we can first. I love you all thanks for everything

We had another good week of work and are doing really good. Things this December will be busy so it might go faster than normal. Right now our goal is to get two baptisms before i go home in December and I think we will get it and thats the goal for the whole mission. Our mission has changed so much since I first started. we use to average about 45 baptisms a month now we are up to close to 100 each month so it crazy but it has been so good to be apart of the change. My companion and I are doing really good. The members are all really happy that this will be my last area, and it will be fun to spend Christmas with them. We had alot of people come to church again even though Pacuio was fighting they all still came haha. Lately I have been trying to study the atonement more and mores so on the enabling power of the atonement and that is the ability to over come trials. When we are weak we can rely on the grace of Jesus Christ to get us through. Through him we can find strength that we dont have alone. Its really interesting to study there is alot that we dont know about the atonement. I know that Jesus Christ is my savior and that we can do all things through him. Thank you all for everything love you all

Well we had a good week and the new family we started teaching last week came to church and accepted a baptism date so that is cool. They really want to join but they will need to get married first so that might take a little while. Then just the other night we taught these two new girls and they both accepted a baptism date as well so now we will try and get them ready for December. The goal for the mission is 200 baptisms in December and I think we can get it. It would be a great way to finish off the mission with a baptism and I know we will have one for sure. I found out yesterday that I will be staying in my area for my last transfer with my same companion so that will be good. At least I know the people so that will make Christmas funner. This transfer should go by really fast with Christmas and all so its going to be crazy but this is all coming to an end. I have truly loved being here and I love the people. I have learned so much while I have been here and I know this is the true church and that as we stay strong in the gospel we will be blessed always and i also know that we have to use our Savior to get stronger and better and to become a saint. I hope you all have a great week thanks for everything I love you all.

Hey everyone how are you doing. I had a great week this week we had a the opportunity to meet with Elder Oaks from the quorum of the 12 and he spoke to our mission. he is Really great He had us all come and shake his hand. I was a little surprised that he is just very normal, He makes jokes and is just very good. He spoke on many things to us and really hit on marriage and providing. Then he gave us some good things about the priesthood that would clear up alot of concerns in the world right now. It was a great experience that I will never forget. After he told our president how impressed he was with our mission. He said its not very often missionaries will look him in the eye and he said we all did and he really appreciated that. I was very grateful for him and that he came to our mission. One of my top experiences on my mission for sure. It was a great week thank you all for everything I love you all.
