this week as well as some things I forgot to write from last week.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Last week I gave my
"farewell" talk in the branch. I told them that most
missionaries only leave home once, but I'll be leaving home twice.
Yesterday they had Elder Bradford say the opening prayer, they had us both
bless the sacrament, and they had me give the closing prayer. The final
hymn was "para siempre Dios este con Vos"... Afterwards I got
pictures with everybody and said my goodbyes. It's kind of crazy to think
that I'm actually leaving for good this time...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

with a member who is in the Air Force onto the base to see the other part of
the museum. They had all of the past Air Force One planes that carried
all of the past 15 or so presidents. We got to walk onto all of them,
which was pretty cool.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

had my departing interview with President. He gave me a lot of really
good advice for my life. He and I both agree that I've changed a lot
since the beginning of my mission. It's kind of weird thinking that I met
him in the MTC two years ago...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

everyone likes to take missionaries out to eat when they're about to go home,
especially if that missionary has lived in the area for nearly 2 years.
We got fed for just about every meal this week. It was really crazy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the familia Loza again, and we invited them to be baptized. They haven't
been too interested in it before, but this time the Spirit was there very
strong and they told us that they would like to prepare to be baptized!
It was a great lesson, and a great experience to have in one of my last
lessons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

about it. I'll close this final email by sharing my testimony. I
know that Jesus Christ is my savior. I know that this is His work.
I know that the gospel is here to help us change and become more like
Him. It has changed me. It has changed my fellow
missionaries. It has changed the members here. It has changed the
people I've taught. I can't express how grateful I am to my Father in
Heaven for giving me the opportunity to witness these changes and see the
affects that the Savior's atonement can have on a person. I know that God
is my Heavenly Father. I know that Joseph Smith was the instrument in the
Lord's hands to bring about the restoration. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

final two zone meetings. Every month we have a meeting with our English
zone and the Spanish zone. The Spanish zone meeting is always great
because all of the Spanish missionaries in the mission (all 14 of us) gather and
have the meeting in Spanish. Over the past few months we've been getting
new Spanish missionaries, and as I was at the meeting it was kind of nostalgic
to look at the zone and see how much it's changed. It's weird to think
that in a few months it will be completely different. It also made me
think that I am literally training my replacement...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

with Elder Adams we tried a lot of people that I had taught here before.
Many of them had been dropped by other missionaries, but we decided to go and
see if they had any more interest. We stopped by the Losa family, and
they were excited to see us. We had a very spiritual experience with them
right off the bat, and they said they'd like us to keep coming by. I felt
really good about them, so we put a big focus on them. They started
progressing, but they soon started tapering off a bit. Not too much was
happening with them. After nearly two weeks of not being able to see
them, we finally made contact again. We had a member with us who also
works long and difficult hours, and he testified of the blessings that have
come to him and his family from attending church every</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Sunday</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">.

agreed to come to church.

so fulfilling to see them finally take that step and come to church!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

pretty excited to see so many people at church. They swarmed them all
after the meeting and made them feel very welcome. Later we talked to one
of the members and she talked about how she knows how important it is to
fellowship the investigators because the missionaries leave after a while, but
the members stay. It is really exciting to see the members fulfilling
their role in missionary work!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">No les voy a mentir,
this was a pretty busy week. We are in the process of switching our focus
from some of the families that had a lot of potential but are no longer
progressing to some amazing new people we found. We've got some sweet
people we're working with. So most of the people I have taught don't
really know anything about their "religion", but one of these new
families we've found is very devout in their religion. That might sound
like it would make things more difficult, but it's actually a good thing in
this case because it means that when we explain the message of the restoration
to them, they have questions and are very interested in what we say. We
had a great lesson with them this week about the Book of Mormon with our branch
president. We also stopped in one day and found them having a family
barbecue outside, and they invited us right in and we got to talk to a lot of
their family! Turns they have a cousin who lives in Utah and is
Mormon! I'm super excited for these people!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This week we went on
exchanges with our English zone leader, so we were in a trio for a day!
He (Elder Klodnicki) came into the mission when I had been out 1 transfer, and
now we're both back in our first areas and he's my zone leader. Kind of
funny how things go full circle... But anyways, he was called to go to
Brazil, but ended up staying in our mission, so he knows Portuguese, which is
kind of like Spanish. So he was able to understand the majority of what
happened during the day, and he even shared his testimony in Spanish and read a
bit out of the Book of Mormon. Champion! But is was super nice
being in a trio. We could go anywhere we wanted and we had another person
to testify with us. So that was my trio experience for the mission.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

walked in! This member had picked up her friend and had driven nearly a
half hour to get to the church! They both had a great experience, the

was a great experience. It was such a great example of member missionary

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This was a week full
of miracles! We had a member call us up who lives far away on the edge of
our area. She is a fluent Spanish speaker from Mexico City, and she had a
referral for us. She has been teaching her friend about the gospel for a
while now, and her friend finally agreed to have the missionaries over!
We made the trek out there and had a very powerful lesson with this member and
her friend. It was so exciting to get such a solid referral! The
friend is interested, and we'll be going back this week to teach her and her
husband with this member. It was so weird for me to contact this referral
for a few reasons. First, because it's so far away, it's in a city that
I've heard many stories about, but never been to before. I've pretty much
been in the same place my whole mission, so going somewhere new was a really
weird experience. Second, this was a new Hispanic member that I had never
met before. Again, because I've been in the same place for quite a while,
meeting a new Hispanic member was pretty weird. But I'm super excited
about this referral. a general authority who came to our mission a long
time ago called referrals "manna from heaven."<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We went out this past
week with our branch president. Right at the beginning of our time out with
him, our appointment ended up falling through. We went to go try a man
that we had met a few days before, and he turned out to be there and ready to
listen. He gathered his family and we taught a powerful lesson with our
branch president to this family who had never heard from missionaries
before. I had been praying all day that we could have a good experience
with Presidente while we were out with him, and we did! This was also a
significant lesson because this family lives in an area that used to have a lot
of progressing investigators, but most of them have slowly lost interest.
So this was a new hope for the area finding this awesome family!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

tour this week with a family of 7! They've been taught by missionaries
for a while, but just a few weeks ago we picked them back up and have been
helping to read again in the Book of Mormon. In the past the Dad was
never very interested in listening to us, but recently he has been asking us
lots of questions, and he came to the chapel tour this past week and
participated a lot! We were able to get out a lot of their concerns as we
talked with them at the font and in front of the sacrament table. I've
got high hopes for them!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

number 3. Dayton Spanish district is rebuilding Dayton one house at a
time!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

how this area was when I first got here nearly two years ago, I can't even
believe the difference. Two years ago we didn't even dream of hitting 20
lessons. Now we're hitting almost 30. Before if we had 2 member
presents it was considered a pretty good week. Now we're shooting for
10. Back then if we got 1 person to church we were ecstatic. Now
we're disappointed if only 2 come. The work really is progressing
here. I've progressed. I'm so glad that I was sent back here so I
could see the changes that the Lord has made in this area and in me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

extremely busy. When we got doubled in here it was definitely slow going
trying to pick up all of the new investigators and get back into the swing of
things, but now that we've built it up again, there's not enough time to do
everything that needs to be done!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This week we saw
miracles all over the place. We had a focus as a zone this week to find
lots of new investigators. Many of the people we've been working with
haven't been keeping very many commitments, so this focus was great for us to
pick up some new people to focus on. All week long we found ourselves in
places where we were able to talk to people who seemed to really have interest
in what we had to say. We ran out of things to do one night with a
member, so we went to try a potential investigator that we hadn't seen for
weeks. When we got there, he wasn't there, but his brother and
sister-in-law were, and they were super solid and invited us over to their
house to teach them! We also were walking through a trailer park to an appointment
and passed by a huge Mexican party. We were kind of wary about stopping
because of how many people there were and the types of beverages that were
there... but we recognized one of our investigators there, so we stopped and
talked to him. They invited us to eat their carne asada, and as we ate we
talked to a 17 year old kid who has a lot of potential, and he invited us back
as well! Really it was just a great week to find!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We also had an awesome
tour of the chapel with Z-------, the husband of M-----, a recent
convert. President Vilches came and helped us out as well. We took
Z------- into the font, explained baptism to him, showed him how a baptism goes
(AKA dry baptism), then invited him to be baptized on</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> May 2</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">. In the past he has been very hesitant
about any baptismal extension we've given him, but this time he was much more
receptive, and we have high hopes that he'll be baptized in May!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

baptism to the 3 daughters of the S----- family this week. They have been
reading in the Book of Mormon, and they all accepted! Their Mom is on
board too! We later talked to the Dad about it, and it looks like it'll
take a little while for him to be on board too... But we passed by later
in the week and had a great lesson with the whole family; it was the first time
the Dad has sat in on a lesson! Progress!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

going pretty well here. There's lots to do, and because my time is
limited, it's definitely crunch time for a few more baptisms to happen in this

week. I was pretty bogged down with a lot of other things the last time I
emailed. Last month we drove quite a bit over our monthly allotment in order
to make sure that A--- L--- was ready to get baptized, and then at the last
second the baptism fell through. Because we went over we were told that
we had to have a few days this month in which we don't use our car, which is a
pretty tough deal in this area. But we've got it all figured out now, so
I'm not too worried about it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

week! I have been working with a family off and on since February of last
year, and this week they really made some progress! We taught them a very
powerful lesson about the doctrine of church, and we also helped them
move. I'm expecting to see a lot of progress from them pretty soon!
We also worked all week long to get the S----- family to church, and they came!
The mom works at a Mexican restaurant all week, so in order to see her we had
to go eat at the restaurant... But we sacrificed, and they came and had a
great time! We also got in touch again with an amazing family that we
found right before I left this area last year. We had a short lesson with
them and the Spirit was super strong. I'm really excited to go back to
talk to them!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

that family move. Most Hispanics leave their Christmas lights up until
the summer, if they take them down at all. This family was one of those
families. So I generously offered to take down their Christmas lights for
them. So if you've been worrying about how Elder Foote has been handling
not putting up or taking down Christmas lights for all this time, worry no
longer! I got a chance to use my skills! =)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a potential that I used to know, and a different guy answered. He looked
kind of foreign, so I started speaking Spanish to him, but he stopped me and
told me in broken English that he didn't speak Spanish. He was from
Afghanistan, and he had just gotten here 1 month ago! He invited us in,
and we talked to him for a few minutes. As soon as he learned we were
Christians he wasn't super interested to talk to us, but he was still super
nice. We asked if we could pray with him, and he said that they had
already prayed... But he was fine with us saying a prayer, so we
did. It was a pretty interesting encounter...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Here the Lord tells
the Saints that they would only be in Ohio for a short time. They
wouldn't be there to stay for generations. But after He tells them that,
He lets them know that they should act as if they'll be there for years, and
that's how they'll make the most of their time there. I of course thought
about that in the context of my mission, but I think it applies to many
different circumstances. The principle that I got from those verses is
that we should make the most of our time in whatever place/calling we're
in. That is how we will fulfill our purpose, by acting as if we will be
where we are for a long time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

found a less active lady named Angela and started teaching her. We found
her records and moved them to the branch. I taught her for about 4
transfers, and then I left. After I left, the new Elders were never able
to contact her again. When I got here, I decided we would find her again,
and we did. We visited her last week with our branch president, put the
Book of Mormon on her phone, and found out that she'll be moving to Texas in a
few weeks. We got her info so that we can send people to see her when she
moves down there. It was pretty cool to be a part of the process of
finding her and teaching and then making sure that she's transferred over
smoothly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

listen to those again to get some more out of it, but really all of it was very

ready for baptism, and when</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Saturday </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">rolled around, everything was set up and things looked like they
were going to go great. Then we got a call from his dad saying that he was sick and wasn't
going to be able to get baptized that day. We offered to go give him a
blessing, but his Dad wouldn't work anything out with us and was pretty set on
him not getting baptized that evening. I did everything I could without
being too pushy (that is to say, I stopped pushing the issue when his Dad was
almost yelling at me), but finally we had to accept that he wasn't getting
baptized that evening. It was pretty discouraging, but he is all ready to
go, so we'll work with everyone to make sure the baptism happens.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

were 3 baptisms this past weekend! The guy that wanted me to baptize him
didn't end up getting baptized this past weekend, but it should happen in the
near future. But it was super cool see the fruits of my work in
Hamilton. I didn't end up going, but I heard all about it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

had two super solid lessons with families that I found over 14 months ago
when I was here for the first time. Both of them talked about the
changes they've seen in their lives since the missionaries started coming
by, and they have both recognized the Spirit as they've read and met with
us. They've just got to come to church! Story of my
life. =) But both of these families have a bunch of potential,
and I've made it my goal to get them baptized in the next 2 months. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Pentecostal guy in the street the other day, and he spent a good
while trying to get us to stop preaching the Book of Mormon. We bore our
testimonies, and as we started to leave he started "speaking in tongues"
at us, which sounded a lot like Harry Potter snake language. Kind of
creepy...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

told you about a guy who we found who told us he had gone to church in North
Carolina. Well this week we met with him and had a pretty interesting
experience. We taught him, and for the whole lesson I had a really good
feeling about him. At the end I invited him to by baptized, and partway
through the extension he said no, but very forcefully. He then explained
that he had already been baptized (which is what most people we teach say), but
then he went on to explain that when he was baptized they put him under the
water and brought him back out, and then he was baptized by fire and the holy
ghost when they put their hands on this head. Well that sounded a little
familiar... So turns out he was baptized in North Carolina in our church!
We found yet another long lost less active! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

baptized, and a month ago they had been talking about having him baptized on
his birthday, which is this week. We asked them if they were still

were at a thrift store looking for an Ohio shirt when a big American man with a
Santa beard caught our attention and waved us over. He started talking to
us in Spanish (!!!!) and told us that he was a member of the church, but his wife
wasn't, but that she was in his car outside and we should go talk to her.
So we did, and she was really nice, and we got her info to go meet with her in
the future. It was a super random experience, but it was miracle!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

our lessons Elder Adams bore his testimony and talked about why he chose to
serve a mission. When he was done, the father of the family said that
even though his Spanish wasn't perfect (yet) and they didn't understand all of
the words that Elder Adams had used, they understood what he was trying to tell
them because they "could feel it." The Holy Ghost is the real
teacher, and He breaches any language barriers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We saw tons of
miracles this week, but one that really impacted me happened when I was on
exchanges with Elder Seegmiller. We were walking back to our car when I
man drove past us in his truck and waved at us as he passed by. I thought
it was kind of weird because most Hispanics don't wave at us unless they know
us really well. I kind of shrugged it off and we got into the car and
started to drive away. As we passed by the house that the truck had
stopped at, I was hit with a flashback from my first weeks of the mission of
talking to a man on the same street that we were currently on. It hit me
so vividly that I stopped the car and just sat there thinking about it, trying
to remember if the man I remembered talking to was the same man who had waved
at us. After thinking for a few seconds, I decided that if I was this was
weighing so much on my mind, we had better just go and knock the man's door and
talk to him. So we knocked his door, he answered, came out of the house
and started talking to us like he already knew us! We found out that
missionaries had lived in his house in Mexico and that he had been to church a
few times in North Carolina. In the past 5 years he has stopped drinking
and smoking. It's like he has been completely prepared to receive the
gospel! We talked to him for a few minutes, invited him to church, and
set up another time to meet with him. I feel like I have gotten better at
recognizing promptings and following them, and as I have done my best to follow
them consistently, more and more keep coming. I know that the Lord guides
His work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Well it's been a
pretty crazy week, but I made it to Monday, so that's good! So last week
I was called to be a trainer and district leader, and Elder Elbaba and I were
doubled out of our area. So we spent the day saying goodbye to everyone,
had an amazing family home evening with a family we're teaching and a member of
the stake presidency, then came home and spent a ton of time packing and
getting the area all ready for the new missionaries to take over. Based
on who else was leaving in the Spanish zone, I was prepped to return to Dayton
to train mi hijito. So I wasn't all that surprised when I was called to
train Elder Adams in.... Dayton Spanish 1. That's right, I'm training my
son in the last years of my life in the place I was born! And now I will
die here. So yeah, basically this week has just been going around
visiting all of the members here and picking up all the investigators that were
being taught by the past missionaries. It kind of felt like a dream the
first few days; it didn't feel real. I was once again in the same
apartment, same car, and same area as I was when I started the mission over a
year and a half ago. Crazy! But it was so good to see everyone
again. And it was super crazy to see all of the change that's happened
since I've left. It's only been 4 1/2 months since I was in the branch,
but so much has changed! It's just been a really weird week.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Elder Adams is super
amazing! He's from Sacramento, and one week ago was in the Provo
MTC. It's brought back a lot of memories as we've gone through his first
week in the mission field... But yeah, he works really hard, has a great
desire to serve, and isn't afraid to share in the lessons, even though he's
still pretty new to Spanish. I got a super good companion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Also in Dayton is
Elder Bradford and another new missionary, Elder Seegmiller. Turns out
that Elder Elbaba and Elder Bradford were both told they were leaving their
areas, but they both were sent right back to where they left. So I didn't
get doubled out after all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We had some amazing
lessons, including one with a family that I was teaching when I was in this
area. The missionaries have kept on working with them, and when we went
be to see them the other day, they were in Jacob 4 in the Book of Mormon!
We had a powerful lesson about the blessings that come from reading the Book of
Mormon, and the Spirit was there very strong. We also went to visit
Martha (a recent convert who Elder Chandler and I found and started teaching)
and her husband, and we had a great lesson with them where we invited him to be
baptized. He said yes! So yeah, it's been a great week back in
Dayton!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

had to go to a basically all-day meeting after church with the stake president,
mission president, and the zone leaders in this stake. I was the Spanish
branch rep. It was a great meeting, and it was pretty cool to see how
missionary work is viewed by the local area leaders.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I also got asked to
give a talk</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> on Sunday</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">.
I got up in front of all the people who I've seen basically every day for over
18 months of my mission and started my talk with "For those of you who
don't know me, my name is Elder Foote..." When Presidente Vilches
introduced the new missionaries in Priesthood meeting, he got to me and said
"El hijo prodigo ha regresado!" It's pretty good to be back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

week this past week. We kept working with all of the people that had
committed to come to church last week, and all of our hard work paid off.
We saw a ton of miracles, and 9 people ended up coming to church. Every one
of them that came was part of a family! Everyone was so excited to see so
many new families!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

focused right now. We just got a call from President Porter, and he
called me to be a trainer and a district leader. So I'm pretty stressed
right now. But I'm pretty excited too. Elder Elbaba is also
training. We're being doubled out of this area, so that means I'll
probably get doubled into an area tomorrow. It's not certain, but from
the other things that are happening in the Spanish zone, I'll most likely be
going back to Dayton to train and finish my mission. We'll know for sure
tomorrow.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This week we put a
huge focus on having members come out with us to teach. We also focused
on having those members extend invitations to come to church. We saw so
many miracles because of it. We had a amazing lesson with one of our most
progressing families that was one of the more powerful lessons I've had in the
past few months. We found a long lost less-active who everyone thought
was in Peru, but it turns out she has been living in Kentucky for the past 6
months! We were called up by members and investigators to give
blessings. We met many new people who have a lot of desire to come to
church and learn more. We had a great tour of the chapel with a few of
our investigators who are preparing to be baptized on</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> March 21st</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">. I found an extremely prepared family
while on splits with our branch president, and now he is super excited about
the work in our area. Really it was just a super miraculous week. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It was also super
busy. We made so many plans all week in order to coordinate our efforts
with the members. I learned that if we put in our best effort, the Lord
will pick up the slack. We had a member set to come out with us for a few
hours one day, and we really needed his help in order to reach our goals.
But when we woke up that morning, it was snowing super hard. The member
texted us and said that because of the snow he wouldn't be able to come
out. We weren't sure what we would do to get our goals, so we started
making calls. After a little bit, we found someone who was able to come
out with us who we never would have guessed would be available at that
time. Really we saw the Lord's hand in our work this week.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

cancelled because of the weather. We were super disappointed because we
had 15 investigators that were committed to come! So we had to call them
all and tell them not to come to church... It was pretty sad. It
was tough to see all of our work during the week lead up to no one coming to
church, but it was comforting to know that we did everything in our power to
make it happen. And they should all be coming next week!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

had a huge focus on baptismal extensions. We ended up extending baptism
to 55 people in our area. The focus really helped increase my testimony
of the importance of inviting people to be baptized. Baptism by the correct
authority is essential, therefore, for a person to be saved in the celestial
kingdom it is essential that they be invited to be baptized. I know that
is true.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

extending, we found a few people who have real desires to be baptized and learn
more. Our Spaniard/Dominican friends came to church again yesterday and

their furnace. It had been out for two days, and we were their last hope
in fixing it. We made 4 phone calls and found a member that was able to
come over and fix it within a few hours. We translated for him when he
came, and in about half an hour he had it running again. So I'm basically
a furnace repairman now... Or I guess I'm just good at making phone
calls... But something I've learned on my mission is that the church
really is a very strong support network. With just a few phone calls you
can find a member who can help you with basically any problem you have.
It really is like a huge family.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We had a ton of
meetings this week, one of which was our mission zone conference. It was
one of the most powerful meetings I've been in on my mission. We set a
goal as a mission to reach 345 baptisms by June! To help us reach that
goal, we have another goal of baptizing 100 people in the month of March!
In this area of the U.S. the record for most baptisms that have ever happened
in a month is 68, which we set last year. So 100 is a huge stretch!
To help us get pumped for March, all this month we are participating in March
madness: missionary style. Every week we are competing with all of the
other zones to see who can find the most new investigators, extend baptism the
most times, have the most members present at lessons, or have the most people
in church. This week the focus was on new investigators.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We really focused hard
as a Spanish zone, and at the end of the week we came in with 196 new
investigators! The previous record was 60 in a week! As we really
focused on working extremely hard and doing all we could to achieve our goals,
we saw tons of miracles and we were accompanied by grace all week long.
It really helped me to see that there is always more we can do. We can
never get complacent. This week helped me to realize that it is possible
to accomplish more than we think we can as we rely on the Savior.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

less-active's house to eat one night this week. They are Mexican, so they
eat very hot food. The local Kroger had a clearance on habanero chiles
this last week. This family bought the habaneros and put them on the
table while we were eating. The dad (like a true Mexican) starting
eating the habaneros like candy. We decided that we have been out here so
long that we are basically Mexicans as well. We both did what the dad
did. We grabbed a habanero, braced ourselves, and ate it in one bite.
Instant pain. After a few seconds my poor mouth couldn't take it
anymore. I had two options: spit the partially chewed chile onto my plate
or swallow it. I chose poorly. It burned all the way down.
Within seconds my stomach was burning as the chile mixed with my stomach
acids. After a few minutes of trying various remedies to take away the
burning in my mouth, it slowly began to subside. There are few things in
my life that I have regretted eating. That habanero was one of them.
My quest to become Mexican continues.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In other news, we had
a very powerful lesson with one of the families we're teaching this week.
They have been meeting with missionaries for a long time, have come to church,
read a bit of the Book of Mormon, and have had many powerful spiritual
experiences confirming that this is the truth. But they still aren't
baptized. We have been trying to help them get back into the habit of
reading the Book of Mormon, but it seems as though whatever we say just doesn't
stick with them. Well, we brought a member with us to the lesson this
week, and he was able to connect with them in a way we couldn't. He told
them the exact same things that we had been telling them, but this time it all
seemed to make sense to them. They expressed many concerns that they had
never brought up before, and in the end they told us that the believed both the
Book of Mormon and the church were true. They just were afraid to take
the leap of faith and leave their church. We testified of the Book of
Mormon and how God will answer us if we read it and then pray to know if it is
true. The Spirit was there strong.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

had a meeting to go to as District Leader, so I got another day of English
work! It is really tough trying to not speak in Spanish all day
long. It's also weird doing English work in your same area. We were
in the same area I'm always in, but we were visiting different people. It
was pretty weird.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

conference. It was a really great meeting. One of my favorite
things about it was the fact that I got to do part of the translation! I
got to wear the fancy headset and have my voice broadcast into the ear of all
of the Spanish speakers in the congregation. It was really hard because
everyone spoke super fast and didn't quote the scriptures they used, but it was
also really fun!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Recently I have begun
to notice the Lord guiding me in preparing lessons for people that will help
them with their specific challenges. We visited a member family this week
and had planned on sharing a short message about missionary work and the power
of simple invitations. I felt impressed to prepare a certain scripture
for them, so I did. As we talked with this family, one of the members
told us of some of the difficult experiences she had had over the course of her
life. When the time came to share our message with them, I opened
up to the scripture I had prepared to share. I found that the verse before
it applied perfectly to this Sister, and we shared that scripture and applied
it to her. I know that the Lord truly guides His work and is conscious of
each of us and our specific needs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the Legacy Meeting. It was for all missionaries in the mission who have 6
months or less in the mission. They held it because when our mission
started, we got a ton of brand new missionaries and we were one of the youngest
missions in the world experience-wise. Now that almost 2 years has past,
we are one of the oldest missions in the world experience-wise. So the
meeting was to help the nearly 130 of us who are leaving in the next 6 months
to think of the legacy we want to leave behind for the coming generations of
missionaries. The Spirit was very strong in the meeting, and I'm very
excited to see what happens with the work here in the next few months.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This week was a week
of firsts. I met my first real Cuban. I met my first real
Nicaraguan. I ate my first pupusa. I had my first apartment check
in over a year. (passed with flying colors by the way...) I also learned
how to make Mexican cheesecake, had a birthday party for a 69 year-old
Dominican lady, and got permission from a less active to call him over and over
and over until he woke up and came to church. We gave up when he still
didn't answer after 20 or so calls.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

less actives who were really suffering. It was very difficult to see them
in such stressful situations, but it helped impress upon me that our actions
definitely have consequences. Sometimes we can't see it until it happens,
but choosing to not obey God's laws always brings misery. We can always
trust that we will be the most happy when we follow His commandments.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We had a really good
sacrament meeting yesterday. There was a mix up with the program, so there
ended up being no speakers prepared, so Presidente Maya changed the theme of
the meeting to missionary work and had the 4 Elders, our mission leader and a
Priest who recently decided to serve a mission bear our testimonies about
missionary work. We also had a full house: 108 people in sacrament
meeting! It was packed!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I also had two really
great experiences that impressed on me the importance of following the
direction of priesthood keys. In the stake that I'm serving in the stake
president has asked the missionaries to teach a very specific lesson to all of
the members about how to invite others to increase their faith in Christ by the
Spirit. The lesson is a little complex, and so we were a bit worried that
some of our members wouldn't be able to grasp it very well. But we
decided to do what we were told and teach the lesson. We taught it first
to a less active Guatemalan man who hadn't been to church in over a year.
The Spirit was strong, and it caused him to really think about his goals for
his family, and rekindled his desire to come to church. We next taught it
to a pair of Colombian sisters who are very active. Partway through the
lesson they thought of someone they could invite to the upcoming branch family
home evening, and the rest of the lesson we just watched as they came up with
idea after idea of things that they could do to help this person they wanted to
invite. These experiences helped me realize even more that those who have
priesthood keys really do receive guidance from the Lord. If we will pay
attention to what our Bishops, Stake Presidents, and other leaders counsel us
to do, we will be blessed, even if the things they tell us to do don't make
sense to us at the time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Really not too much to
report this week. I got pretty sick during the first part of the
week. I got over it pretty quick, but for most of the rest of the week I
had no appetite. That normally wouldn't be a huge problem, but we get fed
by people pretty often, and most of them get offended if you don't eat at least
two servings, so I had a constant feeling of being way too full for most of the
week. But I guess having too much to eat isn't the worst problem I could
have...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In response to me
being sick, I received a few mystical Hispanic cures. One was by a
Pentecostal man we're teaching who believes he has a mighty gift of
healing. He got me a shot glass, poured in some apple cider vinegar,
mixed in some water, then had me drink it. Then he pushed on my stomach
and told the sickness to leave... Another family gave me four teaspoons
of olive oil to drink. I also got some super thick Dominican cough syrup
even though I didn't have a cough...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a pretty average week. One of our investigators believes the church is
true, and he wants to be baptized, but he just can't give up smoking.
We've tried everything, but he just hasn't been able to give it up. Well
he finally started coming back to church last week, and yesterday during
priesthood we all introduced ourselves and he said "My name's Jose, I'm
Dominican, I'm coming to the church because I know it's true, and hopefully
soon I'll be baptized."! Yeah Jose! So we're working with him
on that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

during a family home evening, and when you got stuck with the potato (se
quemo!), you had to answer a random gospel question. The questions they
had to answer were things like: "Who is the prophet today?" and
"Who came to see Jesus when he was born?", while the questions I got
were: "When was the Kirtland temple built?" and "Quote a
scripture (in Spanish) from memory from the book of Acts."
(which really isn't even a question...) But it was fun.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

street-cat ran into the house. The parents watched it run in, looked at
each other, then just turned their attention back to us and acted like it
didn't even happen. So we kept on teaching, and right before we were
about to leave their little boy saw the cat a started crying and freaking
out. So we left the house in chaos with a rabid (I don't actually know if
it was rabid or not) street-cat running all over the place and a little boy
screaming at the top of his lungs for his parents to get it out. And the
parents were still sitting there like nothing happened.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

coming. It was probably the hardest I've worked to get people to church,
and it almost all fell apart. We were super disappointed. After
church we had nothing set up, and we were pretty discouraged, but we decided to
just go out anyways and keep working. We tried a lot of people, and caught
no one at home. We tried one potential, and he was about to leave, but he
invited us in to talk to his parents. We started talking with them and
found out that they had met with missionaries before and that they had missed
having them come by. We talked to them about the Holy Ghost and how it
feels, and the Dad told us that since the moment we had set foot in his house
he had been able to feel the feelings we described. He told us that the
message we shared was exactly what him and his family needed right now and that
we had come at the perfect time. It was a very spiritual
experience. I know that the Lord will help us. Sometimes it seems
like everything has fallen apart and that there's no hope, but He has promised
us His help. Sometimes He waits to help us so as to test our faith, but
if we are willing to push on a little further and trust in His promises, the
miracle will come.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

P.S. I got a
haircut this morning at a Dominican barbershop here in Hamilton. It was
the most professional haircut I've ever had. It's a little shorter on the

Christmas! We got invited to eat at a ton of places. I was more
full on after the 24th than I think I've ever been in my whole life! I
also got super sick of tamales. I had a ton of normal tamales as well as
some Dominican tamales made out of yucca root and platano. Between the
24th and the 25th I spent Christmas with people from: Mexico, Dominican
Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, and the U.S. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

we had our mission Christmas conference this last week. It was

(Yorleni) and younger brother (Aaron) got baptized! And I got to go up to
Dayton for the baptism! It was really good to see all my friends up there
and be able to see the baptism! After she was baptized, Yorleni gave a
very powerful testimony. She said she wasn't baptized out of a sense of
debt towards the missionaries or the church for what they'd done for her and
her family, but she was baptized because she had read the Book of Mormon and
the Doctrine and Covenants (!!!!!), and she knew that the church was
true. She said "I know Jesus Christ is my Savior, I know that God
loves me, and I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God who was called to
translate and bring forth the Book of Mormon..." The Spirit was
there very strong. I definitely expect this family to be sealed someday
and to be a rock-solid family in the Dayton Spanish branch.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

finish painting their gazebo this week. It's been an ongoing project for
awhile now, so we decided that it was time to finish it up once and for all,
even though it was only 40 degrees outside... Afterwards he took us out
to eat at a really good Mexican restaurant where I ate my first ever chile
relleno. Another noteworthy thing I ate this week was a seafood soup that
had whole crawdads in it. You had to pick them out and shell them by hand
as you were eating. It was pretty good.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

people this week. One was a super intelligent Guatemalan man named
Jairo. He knew the bible better than most people I've met on my
mission. Usually when I teach I have to explain things very simply and
assume that the people haven't ever heard anything about this stuff before, but
with this guy I was able to be more straight up with what I said instead of
only saying the bare minimum. It was kind of weird to be honest.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

super cool story this week. He used to work as a manager at
Skyline. He made pretty good money, he had a decent schedule, and he was
the boss. The only downsides were that he had to work Sundays, and the
work environment wasn't very good. After working in that job for awhile,
he finally felt like he needed to quit and find a job that would allow him to
have Sundays off. So he quit his job and took a job doing maintenance in
an apartment complex for a lot less money. Over time however he was able
to learn a lot, and he soon took over the management of the entire complex, as
well as a few other complexes. He now makes better money than he did
before, he has better hours, he doesn't have to work on Sundays, and he has a
very relaxed work environment. He was definitely blessed as he took a

former investigator in an old trailer park, and it turns out the trailer where
they used to live didn't exist anymore. We started to leave and were
stopped by a lady wanting to talk to us. She said that she had met with
the sisters before, but that her husband never had because he was
Hispanic. We told her we spoke Spanish, she gave us her info, and now we
have a new person to contact. I felt like we were definitely led to be in
that place at that time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

lot on some of our investigators that are very close to baptism, they just need
to get married! It's a super complicated thing to do with them not being
legal and all. They have to go to a different state where the marriage
laws are less strict, they have to have a passport. One of the couples
we've been dealing with doesn't have any documents at all, so in order to get a
passport they need some documents from Mexico, but they can't go back there, so
yeah... super complicated. My mission has taught me quite a bit about
immigration law.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of service for a less active lady recently. She used to not let the
missionaries in or even really talk to them, but in the last two weeks or so
we've developed a pretty good relationship with her. We helped her
translate today when she took her kid to the doctor, and we also ordered a
prescription for her over the phone. We're going to try and help her get
back into church. Also, another less-active has started coming again.
We visited her a few times, then all of the sudden after over 8 months of not
coming, she started coming! She's now come two weeks in a row, and she
bore her testimony yesterday about how she's had a change of heart and has
decided to make an effort to come every week from now on! Go
less-actives!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

with Dominicans this week. I can understand them a little bit better now,
but it's still a work in progress. I ate tostones with them, which is
basically fried plantain. It was pretty good. I also ate a type of
meat I've never eaten before with a Mexican family. I won't say what it
was, but I'll include a picture...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
