Crazy

Good morning. Welcome back to another letter via email this week.

This week was more normal but decently good. At the start of the week on Tuesday we had a General Authority come to our mission (for a more normal reason) to talk to us. There were a few different meetings for different parts of the mission—the one I was at is here in Midland. It was a real good meeting for sure, the dude who came was Elder Jose L. Alonzo who gave a talk in a recent General Conference. After the meeting we had dinner and went to English class to help. 


The next day happened to be Wednesday. We had 2 lessons on Wednesday so that was cool only one of them was In Spanish but it was good. We've had a lot of phone call lessons also cuz a lot of people don't have addresses, but when we get a phone call lesson they're good, we had one on Thursday and the friend seems real open. On Friday we had a lesson with our friend Jorge. He's a cool guy we've taught him at his work when he's on break but he's real cool and read a lot of the Book of Mormon already we've taught him for like 2 weeks and he said he's already on the book of Alma so that was pretty neat. He's also wanting to come to church and all that's getting figured out but he's a cool dude. On Saturday a cool member took us out to lunch. He’s a member who is getting himself back to church we talked with him for a while and had a neat conversation. Besides that a big part of the day was taken up driving. We went down to an itty bitty town called Big Lake with a little branch there cuz the senior missionaries put there said they needed help with their Spanish members coming there. It was cool, the church building there was converted from a house. It was interesting even though it was a church it still looked exactly like a house with a kitchen and rooms and a back yard and everything but that was neat. Yesterday was Sunday we had church and had dinner with our bishop and had another lesson in the evening.


So yeah normal week in the city of Midland but that's what's goin on here. Also shout out to my mom—Mrs. Heidi Rivera, for winning staff of the month at Riverton Elementary. Any way that's about it so I'll see you all next time


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 ...
