It snowed

Good morning,

Its been a decently cold week over here in New Mexico. We got a few dustings of snow on Thursday and Friday morning which was pretty neat considering I didn't think I would see any snowfall in my mission.


This week was a little bit slower than last week. On Tuesday morning we had our district council meeting and talked about what's going on in the areas and after that we went knocking on doors and the people either didn't answer their doors or they weren't interested so pretty typical time there. The next day my companion was a little sick, so we didn't do much that day.


We went on exchanges Thursday morning with the fort Sumner Elders and I went up to their area. Fort Sumner is a small little village with like not even a thousand people and it's like an hour from Clovis. It's a neat little place. The church building we have there Is just a house that was converted Into a church building. The upper floor is the chapel and the branch presidents office and the Lower floor has a small primary room and little kitchen in it. Its quite small for a church building but it is pretty cool. Most of the plans the elders had fell through for that day so we called the people who were interested in being taught and we went to a few houses and knocked on their doors. We didn't find anyone and I'm sure every person's house has been visited by elders multiple times by now. 


We also spent Friday in the Fort and we did some service for this family and visited a few people. Fort Sumner is a neat little place but I for sure would not want to be transferred down there. The missionary work is slow in Clovis but it is much better than over there. 


We went to a baptism Saturday morning by someone the first ward elders were teaching and it went nicely. In the afternoon we went over to Sister Pews house to do service and we were laying down floor boards in the master bedroom. We were there for a pretty long time and we did get like half the room done. She got us pizza halfway through for dinner which was quite nice of her. On Sunday we finally met with just the Spanish branch in the morning. We visited someone with our branch president and it went very well. Well come back this evening to do service at her house.


This wasn't the most interesting letter I've ever written so I apologize if you are still here. Hopefully this next week will pick up some more. Anyway see you later.


Bye

The Wild East

 Goood morning how are all of us today? Here we are again another week to write another letter. This week was somewhat eventful so here's a brief explanation for some of the events.  On Monday evening some other missionaries came into town to a mini exchange here in Hobbs but we were both working in our area. We knocked doors the whole evening and met some interesting people. Tuesday was pretty normal, we had district council then did our singing service then later in the day we went and did English class. After that we visited some members who are pretty cool then we had a lesson with someone who we just started teaching again.

It is well

Goood morning gentlemen and ladies. I suppose a letter is due seeing that this is in fact my last week in the mission field. It's been pretty awesome being out here and definitely the best decision I ever made up until now—is serving a mission. I don't really got too many profound spiritual things to say here so might as well give a little recap.  It's been really great being here in Hobbs and all the other areas meeting all the people specifically the Spanish ones. This last week we met with lots of cool people and taught them. On Monday we met with our friend Mario who's on baptismal date and he's doing well. We talked about the plan of salvation and he said an epic prayer at the end. We also met with 2 other people were teaching who are doing really well and we talked with them about baptism. Tuesday was also good we had a lesson in the afternoon and then English class and some other lessons and stuff On Wednesday we had an exchange with the other elders here in ...
