Hey y'all this week was really good. 

We got transfers last night and so I'll be moving to the area called Bulverde. It's an english area so I'm so have mixed feelings about. Like I'm excited to go to an english area for the first time but super sad I won't be working so closely with the spanish community. My new companion is going to be Elder Merritt. 

This last week it was pretty crazy our whole district besides me and Elder Knight got put into quarantine because they came into contact with someone who tested positive for covid. It was sad seeing them all go into quarantine so me and Elder Knight decided to try and cheer them up with some funny videos. Elder knight got these lego missionary figures for Christmas and I had this lego fox figure so we made a funny video with that. It was really goofy but fun. We helped some of the missionaries who are serving in our branch by visiting some of the people they  are teaching and a really funny weird story was me and Elder Knight went to this address for a person named Miguel but it turns out that it was the wrong address. So when we got there we knocked and a person named Angel answered. He didn't know Miguel so we just asked hin if he would be interested in our message. He he said yes and we shared a small scripture and then set up a return appointment. It was really cool because even though we went to the wrong house we still found someone and he was ready to listen at that time. I know that God definitely had to have played a part in that. 

We also had another cool expierience teaching another Person named Jacob. We met him like a couple weeks ago and he has been really struggling with the Book of Mormon and right now he only believes in the Bible. We had a lesson with him yesterday and talked about his concerns and shared some scriptures with him. He was really open to talking and hearing us out. We invited him to pray about if he should read it. Hopefully all goes good.

We tried doing our English class again this week and it was awesome. We had 2 people show up. We did the class at Brother Rockwells house and the people were pretty nervous at first but by the end of the lesson they had opened up a lot and we set up classes for Wednesday's with them as well. Sister Rockwell made us hot chocolate and muffins during the class.

We had a lesson with someone from Cuba. His spanish accent was so fast and I could only understand like 10% of what he was saying plus on top of that it was over the phone. He was really nice but just speaks really fast. We invited him to church and he said he would come so hopefully he does haha. 

That's about for me this week. I hope y'all have an amazing week! And Happy Martin Luther king day! 

Here is one of the videos that we made this week.
