Kumusta everyone :)
This week was transfers!! Guess what?!? Joke. I didn't get transferred and neither did my companion :) The first time in 5 transfers :) I am excited for the next 5 weeks with my companion who I am going to kill :) Not literately but that's the term that means he is going home :) 

So, I learned about lifting where you are standing, helping the area where you are. I have been comparing all my different areas and even home to this one. But the Lord put me here for a reason to leave it better than I found it and that's what I have been doing. I am not going to complain anymore but only help. I helped them start on time this Sunday and I am so happy!! :) Little by little we are going to get an actual church meeting house, not just a little building. 

I want to tell you about a boy named J, we found his parents by a preach by the way. We started teaching them and no one seemed interested, but we left a Book of Mormon at their house. The next day we happened to be at the church where the youth were practicing for their cultural event. And there was J?!? Puzzled we asked him why he was there. He said I have been reading the Book Of Mormon and the youth invited me, so I came. So we went back to his parents and they said, when he comes home from school that's all he wants to do is read the Book of Mormon. Man his complexion has changed, he is feeling the spirit and he even came to church :) He may not be able to get baptized right now because he needs support from his family. His sister just doesn't want to change but she wants her kid to go church. But I know that he will continue to go to church until he is old enough or his parents join :) I am so happy for him :) 

I just see amazing things happen in people's lives and I am so happy for them :) I am truly an instrument in God's hands :) I am grateful for this opportunity to serve a mission :) 

This week has been a good one :)

I took steps towards my Heavenly Father :)
