Learning Patience
Hello to all where ever you all are!!
Things are absolutely great here in the West Zone! We have a lot of great things going for us. We are working hard and the miracles are really coming because of it! I am still getting used to the area and I thought I had been getting better then, BOOM. It is then I realize how much more I still have to learn. So day by day I will be learning even more. This week my companion and I are learning and working on the Christ-Like attribute of patience! Gahhh I am not sure if I can take it much longer... haha just kidding.
It has been a cool little study and our knowledge of what that is continues to grow. It really grows I think with the application of what we learn. We are all going through a refiners fire, constantly being put under trials and tribulations that allows us to grow and become even better than we are at the point at which we all started. It is at times a frustrating process and we may not see the need of it all the time, but we will be blessed with trials in every stage of our life and it is our job to patiently endure them as we seek to learn what our Heavenly Father wants us to learn. It is then that we can make the most out of our opportunities to grow and become more like our Savior Jesus Christ. I am grateful for my trials and for the love my Heavenly Father has shown me as He has put me through trials. I know that they are important and patience throughout those trials will help me to grow.

Transfer Time
Para todo!!!
Well this week was great! I was transferred from 5th ward unfortunately :( but I was transferred to another great area!! This is the Huebner (pronounced Heebner) Creek ward just outside of the 410 and actually bordering my first area! Hahah so right now in the three areas I have been you can be in all three of them within a ten minute car drive haha. So I am still in San Antonio, which I love!!! So needless to say I am sooo grateful for my new area for a variety of reasons and look forward to my time here. We actually cover the entire Stake or in other words quite a big chuck of the earth. We cover the Spanish speaking people in the area, which too is a wonderful blessing! I am so excited to work with my companion in strengthening the Huebner Creek Ward as we look to find those prepared to make covenants with our Heavenly Father through the ordinance of baptism.
I have been doing great, the spanish is great! Within the last month or two, I have felt very confident in fluently speaking to declare the great message we have to help others learn the need of it in their own life. This area will only improve that! I have come to realize the importance of learning the language I was called to speak. This has mainly been accomplished as I have principally prayed for the gifts of the Holy Ghost that better allow me to learn and then put forth the effort needed to receive and operate with the Holy Ghost to learn the principles of the language. This is one of the many immense blessings made available by those who have received the gift of the Holy Ghost. These gifts come as one first has had that ordinance performed by the priesthood of God and who then properly seek for and desire those gifts. These are very important in us fulfilling our vast potential as children of God.
I love you all and hope you all have had a great week!!

Goodbye South Side!
To all,
Hello to all! This week was great! I have learned a lot! We have been doing a lot of finding! But we have had a lot of patience and we have been able to grow in getting this area prepared for the next transfer... Of which I will not be a part of, I am being transferred. I don't know where yet but I will at the transfer mtg. this Thursday! It should be good!
Again there isn't much more to update... Sorry this week should be more eventful.
I do know this gospel is true. Joseph Smith was a prophet and President Thomas S. Monson is the prophet today. The Book of Mormon is true and I am grateful to share that with everyone. I love this gospel and I am grateful for the effect it has had in my life.
