Hey all!!
This was a great week!! Good news too is that, Elder Andreve and I will be together again for another transfer! We are excited because there are a lot of people that we are teaching that are preparing themselves to be baptized. Also Genny Suarez who I was teaching for a month in St. Cloud C is now baptized and has the Gift of the Holy Ghost!! It is awesome!! A lot of great things have been happening and we are real excited to continue to work with them...
Just a few short notes of the people we are teaching:
Julie Aldana came to church this week and she heard the plan of Salvation and the plan God has for children with down syndrome which meant a lot to her because of her youngest son. She is soooo happy!!! I love it!!
Ben Countryman... That's right Brother Countryman. He is a gently giant, we invited him to be baptized and there was a 5 minute silence of him pondering, then he said he was unsure and that he wanted to read and pray. Jaja perfect!! He too came to church and loved it!! We will be passing by on Tuesday.
The Garcia family: Juan said he knew this was true and this is what he wanted to do, and Roci is still praying about it. They have so much desire, now they just have to align that with their actions. Super family!!
Joann Carreon is actually in an interesting situation. She lives in St. Cloud C's area, weird, but she comes all the way over here to go to church with her boyfriend. She was a referral and the first thing she told us was that the Book of Mormon is true and she wants to be baptized... That wasn't too hard ;) It will just come down to working through her situation.
Bobby Burge can finally come to church to find out for himself that it is true. I am so excited for this opportunity!!
We found an older woman named Lucy Hernandez who we taught the plan of Salvation and when we asked her to be baptized she answered, "if you can do it... I do want to go to the Paradise jaja." So she is awesome and will come to church next week.
I love you all and hope you all have a great week.!!

On Sunday it was great. Every ward has a position called the ward mission leader. They are in charge of coordinating the needs of the missionaries with the ward and visa versa (sp?). Well Brian Montelongo is our ward mission leader in the 5th ward. He just got home from his mission from Arcadia, California. For the last three transfers I have been senior companion and I will be for the rest of my mission. Elder Berntson was the only senior companion I have ever had. So I feel like perhaps there are aspects of missionary work that I am missing out on... But He really has been like the senior companion to the senior companion jaja. He really helped me out with a lot of concerns I had had and helped me to see how I can become even better. It was great.
