This week we met a lot of people, and it was a very fun experience. We had a primary program on Sunday and it was great, those kids are great and they are going to be great leaders in the future. It has gotten a little bit colder here but it was only for a couple days and now its pretty much nice weather in the 80's or so. Next Friday we have a Halloween party at our ward. that should be fun. we did not have a chance to do service this week but hopefully the next.

This week was good, we had General Conference and I think this was the time that I focused the most, but it was very easy with the talks that they gave this conference, they were all amazing. When we went on exchanges this week we were knocking doors and we got invited in to one door, it happened that one of their kids was baptized a year ago and it was a Hmong family and we are spanish missionaries. We sat there and when they came in we had to explain that we werent the Hmong missionaries but thanked them for inviting us in to their house. It gave us a pretty good laugh. And I know if we are able to study the conference talks that we will be truly blessed and guided.

Got to ride on my bike for 3 days this week because we had to save miles to make it under for the month. It was very fun, and we found a family who's son is a member and we helped them with their roof, they were replacing everything and we helped them take out the nails and prepare it for them to finish it and put the shingles on. Conference is coming up and the week is getting very busy trying to invite people to it and to come watch it with us. A lot of people are interested in it and are willing to come listen to it. Hopefully we can get a lot of people to it and they can receive an answer to their prayers. this week we had an interview with our mission president and had a language conference were we learned how to interact with people who do not understand English.

i switched areas and companions, the area is split again but now I am in the southeast area of Stockton with my new companion from Kearns, Utah. we have a lot of new missionaries in the ward now and its going to be a fun transfer. We just lost most of our investigators because they moved at the same time or started working and wont be back for 2-3 weeks. I sort of knew the area so now its time to really learn it. I never thought I would stay in my first ward for such a long time, I love working in this ward and helping the people here in Stockton. Hopefully as we concentrate our efforts on finding people this week we can find that baptism ready person. We also have a mission language conference and it should be great because we will all get to be together with other missionaries that are called to serve in spanish and in the different languages of the mission. I hope everything is going well out there in the ward.

This week dragged a little bit, we were very busy and went on exchanges twice with our district leader which made it a little hard to know exactly what was going on in our area but my companion, Elder Grow was able to get me up to date with everything. We have two investigators that are awesome and we just need them to come to church which is a bit hard here in this ward for some reason, usually its because they live really far away but we are really focusing on that, and hopefully the desire of our investigators is there. Time is starting to fly by now and it is a good thing because it means we are out working and very busy. It's still hot out here, we are at around 90 everyday but the mornings have cooled off a bit. I hope everything is going well over there.

Here i am excited for some service. 

Here is my companion Elder Grow ready to serve.
