Hey everybody! I hope you had a great week. My week was pretty good but not super exciting either. We just kept working like normal. One kinda sad thing is one of our investigators who had a baptismal date ran away from us. We hadn't seen him for like a week and when we finally caught him he straight up ran from us. So like I always say being a missionary gives you super powers. The power to be able to make people run at just a glance. We did have some good experiences as well though. We have been teaching the Ramirez family for some time and this week their mom started to listen in on all the lessons. That has been a huge blessing because she helps them pay more attention and encourages them to act. 

Of course we had Zone conf. this week which was super great. I had a really fun time listening to the speakers and learned a lot. Also it was great to see some of the other missionaries. Sister Zapanta gave an amazing talk about not giving up even though it gets hard. That if we can push through we will gain so so much. It was really encouraging and helped me to be more willing to push through the hard days. 

Dad It sounds like you had a pretty good week. That is great that you were able to shoot a 40. now you just have to take off one more stroke to hit the 39. I am sure you know this already but Jon is really going to be needing your help even if he says he doesn't want it. Do whatever you can for him. Also tell them that I love them as well. 

Mom sounds like you had kinda a rough week. But as we know whenever we make a choice that is inspired of God, Satan will do everything in his power to make us doubt that. I would be willing to bet that is a reason this week went a little tough for ya. But keep up the great work and of course stay close to God I am sure you will not regret following God. 

I love you all so much and hope you have a great week!!
