Hey Guys

I'm [saddened] to hear that Mama passed away.  Fortunately for her though the journey is over.  Based on what I know she had a rough past few years.  I'm also sad that I won't be able to be there with everyone, but that's ok I guess.  I hope all goes well or at least as well as it can go.

This week was another good one.  We always take our investigators to the Visitor's center that was built here and they always love it.  They have a really great video about families that talks a lot about temples and the plan of salvation, we'll be going again today so I look forward to the video.  The visitor's center is so helpful with the missionary work.  With the interactive lessons, explanations about everything and the Christus... it's great.

We baptized again this week but I still didn't manage to get the pictures of any of them yet but I'll keep working on it.  The package go here but I haven't been able to get it yet.  Because of another fee... We'll see how much it is this time.

Anyway, that's about it from me.  I love you guys and have a good week!

Hey parents,

I wish we had the same weather right about now.  We've been running around in the high 90's low 100's this whole week.  I'm not really digging this whole Zone Leader thing though.  It's just a lot more than I ever wanted to do.  Also the visitors center here opened up and all the sisters are working there so we have to help our sisters get things all figured out and all that jazz.  So it's been a little crazy but luckily not too crazy.

We have had another baptism and have another ready to go for next week already.  Finally there is some fruit from the labor.  The leadership is all really pleased with Elder Bartschi and me so it looks like we'll be getting some back up from the church as well.  So in short, things are just swell.

So dad asked about my companion.  His name is Blake Bartschi and he pretty much [played] everything.  But he'll be going to Weber State on a [football] scholarship.  He lived in Idaho and also went to a school in Idaho.  I don't remember the name of the high school.  He reminds me a lot of Hekili, pretty intense and hard working.  He has a really good work ethic and we get a lot done.

But I hope all is well with you guys and that everything goes smoothly with everyone.  Love you guys, BYEE!!

We baptized again this Sunday who was actually one of my first investigators on my mission.  So I'm glad I'm back!  Also I am now Zone leader, this time of 8 sisters and 6 elders.  So things are getting exciting now.  I also went to a sealing of members I baptized the first time around as well.   Besides that I don't really know what to say.  I'm doing well and we're working well together.  Hope you guys have a good week!

Heyo,

So, first off my companion.  His name is Elder Bartschi and he played sports in high school.  He has 3 transfers left on his mission and we seem to work well together.  We had a baptism today so next week I'll send photos.  He's a hard worker and I think we'll have a lot of success together and not a lot of drama.

Our baptism today was actually with an investigator that I found over a year ago.  So I was pretty surprised to see her not baptized but also happy that I got to baptize her.

We have a visitor's center opening next to the temple on the 20th.  I think the work will really progress and we'll receive a lot of the benefits of having a visitors center because we're really close to the temple.

I think that's about it for me this time around.  Talk to you guys next week!
