Good morning Mom!

yes it's crazy how fast the time flies by. I can hardly believe it's Wednesday already. That's crazy Heidi's last day is coming up. and no way her graduation is only like two weeks away. That's some AWESOME news for Heidi. Yep every bit helps that's for sure. (scholarships)

So today I'm headed to the temple with a recent convert, Eddie Fuentes. He was baptized two months ago into the Tieton Drive ward, the ward I'm serving in right now and we are going to do baptisms for the dad with him today. should be super awesome. Josue is doing good. we invited him to be baptized and he though about it for a while, but ultimately didn't feel ready to make that commitment yet. The good news is I think he may be ready in a few more weeks, but if not that's alright too. he lowkey hasn't even come to church yet, so we got our work cut out for us lol. I have faith tho. 

We are also teaching Tito who we met for the first time last week. He's super prepared and we set expectations with him about baptism and having all 4 lessons last time we met with him and the plan right now is to invite him to be baptized today actually. So we'll see how that goes. Our ward mission leader, Bro Anderson, aka the goat is coming with us so it should be lit. We also teach two other people who will most likely be dropped and other then that other the last couple of weeks I've dropped like 15+ "green dots". I put that in parentheses because people who haven't been taught in 3 months shouldn't be green dots haha. We are on the finding grind big time, but we've found one person every week so far, Josue, tito and this girl ale. Our only other green dot is the only person found all the last transfer. Basically long story short nothing was done last transfer so I'm here to get my baby area back to speed. It has been slow going cause I was expecting to find more people then just 3 by now, but we're headed in the right direction at least. And I'm sure any day now we'll find more. Yes I'll be sure to wish you happy mothers day! Honestly we should celebrate every day, because like you said you're a mother every day. I will definitely call on mother's day! 

I'm trying to think of what else has been going on out here so I can update you more, but honestly it's just been a lot of knocking doors lol. We had our last interview with President Welch like a week ago and that was really cool. A little sad, but it was cool because we talked about my patriarchal blessing and what it says about my mission. Super cool experience. I've been trying to get in contact with the people I used to teach here, but nothing has really happened more than some texts here and there. Also don't expect emails this long on the regular, but we're driving to Moses Lake right now so I figured I'd take advantage of this opportunity lol. 

I love you guys too! Have a great week!
