Empanadas

Hey everybody!
This week has been running from one thing to the next to the next to the next, but it has been really good! We dropped off departing missionaries, picked up new ones, gave trainings, updated the transfer board, conducted a temple grounds tour, and ate some empanadas!
Our investigator Nick has been making such good progress. This last week we had dinner with the elders quorum president, President Storland, and his family, and we brought Nick and then taught him in their home. At the end of the lesson, President Storland offered to
give him a ride to church, and he came! Nick loved it and felt the
spirit so strong, and he wants more than ever to be baptized on the 29th.
We also have been meeting with active members more. Last night we went
over to one who we have been working with, Brother Davis, who took us
across the street to meet his neighbors. We met Jesus and Carmen, who
invited us in. We taught them the Restoration and invited them to be
baptized. They wanted to learn more first and agreed to meet
regularly! We have another appointment with them for this week! Having
their neighbor friend Brother Davis there made them so much more
receptive to the message of the gospel!! I have a testimony of the
importance of member missionary work!
This week we also had the privilege to be joined in our companionship
by one of my good friends, Elder Valenzuela from Guatemala City. He
returns home from his mission tomorrow morning, and it has been such
an awesome treat having him with us for the past week! He is an
incredible missionary who has been changed so much by his two years of
service. I hope that I can be like him at the end of my mission.
Have a great week everyone! I love you!
