Olá! Hope that everyone's doing well. I cried again last night after seeing my family on Skype for the last time on the mission! The next time I see them will be in the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport on July 16th, 2015! Aproximately two months of hard, dedicated service I have to do first. Things are going well! They're hard. Sometimes I feel like I'm running into a brick wall continually, but they're going well. I'm being pacient and parying for guidance, trying to know the right thing to do. We've been trying to do what President Farnes told us and knock on 80 doors per day as part of our mission's 80th year anniversary this month! Super cool. It's a lot of doors though. We've had some success!

Wednesday we knocked a door we had previously knocked on, and out came a young man of 17! His name is Anderson and he actually turns 18 this week, which is even cooler! He had left his church, seeing that there were many things contrary to the Bible there. He knew it couldn't be right and stopped going. He's trying to find the truth and we show up at his door! We showed him the Book of Mormon, and he read about five chapters that very same night. We returned Friday to answer questions. Sunday, we passed by his house to pick him up for church, and he was already on the street waiting in Sunday Dress which is a miracle! He went to church and then out of the blue on the way back, asked us what he needed to do to be baptized. TOO COOL!!!

God is really preparing people to receive the truth and be baptism! I hope that we can all help find these special people and bring them to the truth! I love y'all and I love my Savior, Jesus Christ! Have a good week!
