Hey Family and Friends, 

This week was great. We had a really good week of finding people. We found 10 new people to teach and our district total had 24 new people. It's been really awesome and we have been really blessed. The weather here has been a little more coldish this week but mixed with humidity it's not that bad. I really just use a light jacket. We had our transfer letters this week to let us all know who is staying in the area and who is leaving next Thursday. Elder Waite my companion is going to be transferred north and I will be with my new companion Elder Correy. It's super exciting and we have to do some of the packing and cleaning today for Elder Waite. My Spanish is getting a little better, I try to learn at least 10 or more words a day. Some days are a little harder than others but it’s all okay. 

Me and my companion have been trying to do a 1,000 abs workout this week. It's been really fun but after we get super sore. We were talking to this person who works in our apartment offices and he gave us this workout plan with 10 different ab workouts of 100 each. He says he goes to the gym everyday and does that also. We have also been eating a lot of protein and healthy things also. 

On Sunday we had a really cool experience. We were able to get a less active member to come to church with her granddaughter who isn't a member and we had her pick up a nonmember person we are teaching. We weren't sure how it was going to work but when we saw them walk into church it was really awesome. The non member and the less active person ended up being perfect for each other and hopefully the member can be active again through this. Another really cool thing we did this week was prayer rocks. We found some rocks outside our apartment and painted them different colors with designs and stuff. We took them to one of our lessons that we were teaching of the importance of prayer. We had them finish the rocks by writing the word prayer and a scripture about prayer in Alma 37:37. It was really fun and it kept everyone focused during our lesson.

I'm so grateful to be able to have the opportunity to serve others and help others come closer to our Heavenly Father. I know that He loves each of us.

I hope you are all having a great week and Happy Presidents Day this week as well.
