Week 5

Fam!!

Hey sorry.. im actually really short on time! Today is a busy day for us missionaries! haha! But i want to tell you a quick few stories! MARY HADESSA AND PRESTON have a baptismal date!! April 2nd.. Inbetween sessions of general confrence! I hope everything works out for then! i loove teaching so much. thats when i feel the spirit soo strong! its the best!

Ha quick funny story real quick.. Last night me and elder ferrin were out knockin doors and it was his turn to do the talking so i leaned on the metal railing of the porch and it was definately not attached to the cement at all. hahah! i went tumbling backwards into the grass. and right as i was standing up putting the railing back in place i hear like 4 little spanish kids laughing sooo hard! haha! it was soo funny. we ended up getting in but we had to hand them over to the spanish elders in our area! anyways..

we have 5 new investigators that we are planning on teaching the first and 2nd lesson too this week! Its pretty fun going and chatting with people everyday. People have amazing stories!! Its soo interesting to me to learn about someone i dont even know and have a deep care for these people! i just watn to share the gospel with them so bad. but they dont realize taht is waht they need. Me and elder ferrin are working on ways to help them understand that. if you have any ideas let me know!

I am so sorry.. i thought i had more time! Iowa is great.. its soo flat here.. some rolling hills but definately No mountains what so ever.. the sunsets are AMAZING.. and the stars at night are pretty incredible too! I love it..! The mississippi river is soo awesome to look at!
