Hello everyone !!!!! J was baptized yesterday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is the MAN !!!! It is so amazing to see how happy he is. The gospel changes lives !!!!

We have been teaching one of the recent convert's fiancee and she is getting baptized this Sunday !!!!

I am loving it here !!! Spanish is hard but it has been cool to be able to understand more of what I hear.

We had our Zone Training meetings last Friday and they went really well. We have to do a lot of traveling as zone leaders out here because it is so spread out. Next time we are in Liberal I will have to get a picture of Dorthy's house from "Wizard of Oz", That's where it was filmed!!

I love being a missionary. I continue to learn and grow everyday. I know this is Jesus Christ's church on the earth. I love you all and pray that this week we will all pray everyday for an opportunity to serve someone.

I had no idea that Racho was planning on serving a mission !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is so awesome !!!!!!!!!! I was hoping she would. :]

It has been amazing coming here to Kansas ! Back to my roots !!! HAHA !! Elder Brandon is a great missionary. He is from Spanish Fork, Utah and speaks very good Spanish. We have not had much time to do language study this week but Elder Brandon has been teaching me the conjugations ... talk about a headache. We are not teaching anyone in Spanish right now but we do have two investigators. J is getting BAPTIZED this Sunday !!!!!!!!! He was actually found when we came down for exchanges a couple weeks ago. He has been doing great and now his mom is interested !!! I have been waking up so happy lately ! I am grateful for my last calling but I am loving life right now !!! We have done a lot of traveling this week because of baptismal interviews and also we had to drive back to the Springs for Zone Leader Council. So that's why we are just now having p-day. I love you all !!!!!!! General Conference was amazing !!! We need to "hasten" the work of the Lord. We all need to be sharing the Gospel !!!!!!

The news about C has made my day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for her. It has been a crazy week. We went and did our last day of exchanges with all the zone leaders this past Wednesday. It was in Kansas !! It was cool cause I got to see a little preview of my next area. I went with my soon to be new companion and it was a great day ! I am looking forward to serving with him. I am however very very sad to be leaving Elder Clark. He really is like the younger brother I have always wanted. We have had some incredible experiences together !! As well as some great laughs. I have learned so much from serving with him. He is a very hard worker, a great teacher, and a true soldier of God. I love him and am grateful for the honor it was to serve along side with him. We also brougth in our new companion Elder Durrant. I wish I could serve with him longer too, he is a spiritual giant and very smart. I am very impressed with him. He is from Meridian, Idaho. Benjamin probably knows where thats at 'cause its not far from Boise. I am very excited to be going back to having more time to proselyte ! And to be in Kansas !!! YEEHAW !!!!! Its gonna be a great way to conclude my service. I just want to say that I know that the Lord is mindful of us all, he loves us and knows what we need most. I love you all !!!! I hope the birthdays were a blast !!!!!!
