Hey everyone!

Here we are again, another week and another post. Truth be told not a lot of out of the ordinary things happened this week but I guess there are still some things to write about.

First things first, we are having a baptism this Sunday for our investigator named Jacinto Valle. This man is amazing. He got a copy of The Book of Mormon a little over a  week ago and he is almost finished with it. Not only that but he also has read ALL of the Gospel Principles book, recorded it, and listens to it all day (or when he is not working). It has been a truly humbling experience working with him. I never realized just how much I've taken advantage of the gospel until I met him. His baptism is Sunday evening and it is going to be really special for sure.

We also had our President interviews this past Tuesday which were really good. It is such a blessing to work with such inspired leaders like President and Sister Beck and our Zone Leaders Elder Bingham and Elder Miles. The 4 of them really know how to get you motivated and spiritually re-energized for the work.

Also this week we were blessed with the wonderful opportunity to watch the dedication of The Gila Valley Temple in Gila Valley, Arizona. I cannot fully express my love for the temple and for the powerful blessings we recieve from the covenants we make inside it's sacred walls. I look forward to being able to attend more often after my mission. But, until then, there are souls waiting to recieve the gospel! :)

I guess in other news he had some pretty epic denials of tracting this week. Some of the harshest I've had on my mission actually. Ironically, not a single one of them came from a Hispanic. I cannot BEGIN to express how much I have for English Speaking missionaries. There work is very tough. It has been an incredible blessing to work with the Hispanic culture and I look forward to having the next while to work with them.

Well everyone, I believe that is about all for this week. Sorry it was so short! We do recieve transfer news this next Sunday so next blog will have the news!! I hope every one of you know just how much you are loved by our Heavenly Father. We truly are his children and I know he wants us to be happy. I love and miss you all dearly and are in every one of my prayers. I hope and pray that every one has a fantastic week and remember, Put Your Shoulder to the Wheel!! Hasta proxima semana, iQue Dios les bendiga! :D
