1.13.10

Hey how is it going? so I got a new comp he is from Florida and he is Elder Kite. So it is going good it is always different when you get a new comp but he is alright. So it is going good. We started to work with the inactive members and kids that haven’t been baptized but their parents are members so we have been passing by a lot of people and knocking doors to see if we can find them and to see who they are. The list is a little bit old so some of these kids are adults now but were finding them. Now we need to pass by when they’re there because we have passed by when they’re not there. Next Saturday we are going to have baptism so I am excited. She is really cool and she wants her two daughters to get baptized before my comp and I leave. So I am excited. So the work here is going good. The weather has been really hot I sweat all the time but I am doing good. Today we are just chillin’ and we cleaned the pench and we are just going to relax. This week was kind of boring. We do have a new branch president in one of our branches because we are over 2 and it is for the better. the work will be easier because the old branch pres. lives in another city and my comp and I want to work out there a little because we are over that city also and there is only 2 active members and it was the branch pres. that just got released and there are 75 members that live out their so maybe we start a rama(branch for the English speakers) which would be cool. Other than that nothing. well I don’t have anything else just that I know the Church is true and that we have a Prophet today and that Temples are really important as long as we stay worthy of the blessings of the temple everything will turn out and be okay. I know god has a plan for each and every one of us and everything has a time and place and we just need to be spiritually prepared because there are always going to be tests and challenges but we need to always remember the Lord and give thanks because if we do he will make our burdens light as it says in the scriptures in the Book of Mormon several times. And if we remember Him and pray and read the scriptures and go to church regardless the tests and trials will be shortened so always remember the Savior and that everything we have comes through the atonement. Amen. Well the time is going by really fast I almost have 11 months in the mission. I only have 413 days or so left and only 59 weeks so the time has been going by fast.
Well tell everybody I love them and I love you be strong and know that I love you and I will write you next week.
