Hola a todos!

This past week was awesome. We met with so many member families that it was hard to keep track of all of them in my head. The work here in Snowflake Arizona is progressing quickly. We have received many thank you’s from members around the area. My companion Elder Ragan has been in this area for three months.  I am relying on his knowledge until I get acquainted with the area and begin to learn everyone’s names.

I know that with time, it will get better. It helps that many members invite my companion and I out to lunch.  Also, they ask us to help them out with service opportunities.

My favorite part about this past week was visiting with a young man we are helping get out of the house and do activities outdoors. He likes to stay indoors and play video games.  I completely understand him because I was the same mindset until I came out on my mission. I realized that there are more important things in life than to just sit and waste time in front of the TV. My mission has helped me grow spiritually, mentally and physically. I am glad to be out on a mission at this time. Time flies when you are focused on the work of the Lord.

I look forward to the day when I return with honor, but until then, I must be focused on the work.

I am grateful for all of you! I have received so many notes from many of you that encourage me to keep going. I am grateful for my family. I love you all. 

BUENA SUERTE!
