Hi Friends and Family. I hope everything is going great this week. 

For me this week was super awesome and went to super fast. We had our transfers and so I am staying in my area and Elder Waite my old companion is going to Bulverde. I'm companions with Elder Corry and now. He’s super awesome and is from Logan UT. It's super cool because I'm kinda starting a new chapter in my mission with my new companion and stuff. 

The weather here this week has been pretty weird. Its cloudy, cold and rainy one day and then really nice warm with no clouds the other day. It's nice though because I don’t really need a jacket. 

We had really good week in the area. We put 2 people on baptism date for the end of next month. We are super excited to teach them and they are excited to learn more and come closer to Christ. We found another 6 new people to teach this week which was really awesome. We are super excited to start this transfer and everything.

We and Elder Waite went out to dinner with Maria and Ralph who are the people we put on date. Their parents are recent converts and they’re super nice. We went to this Mexican restaurant and got some really good Mexican food. We got these chicken burritos and they were huge. After we ate they ordered us sopa pias. They were really good. They are like these cinnamon chip things that are fried.

The members in the ward are super awesome. They always want to feed us and will ask us about the dinner calendar. They even invite us randomly on days for lunch and stuff. On Friday we were invited to this birthday party and it was pretty fun. They had lots of chicken and other things.

 I read a talk this week from the April 2016 general conference by Elder Neil L. Anderson. It was really good.  it’s called "A witness of God". It talks a lot about how we are witnesses of God and he compared it all to a giant puzzle. We as members and people in the world are an individual puzzle piece and we can help others connect and put together the rest of the puzzle. 

I liked a scripture he added in there and it is in Mosiah 18:9. It says: 9 Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in, even until death, that ye may be redeemed of God, and be numbered with those of the first resurrection, that ye may have eternal life.

I invite you all to read the whole talk. It's really awesome.

I hope everyone has a great week and I can’t wait to talk to ya’ll next week.
