This week was sweet. First off, a past
investigator of mine got married this week and I was able to attend it
and it just made me so happy:) I remember when I was at the lesson that
they committed for that date. It blows my mind just how great it was!
Everyone was so happy and they both are now on the path to baptism and
temple marriage! We had a lot of success this week in working with our
members and finding two new families. One of the families we found was
actually so inspired. Turns out the wife Nicole went to the church about
15 years ago and knows a ton of members. It was a tender moment for me
to see them be touched as we testified that we had prayed and felt
inspired to come to that city and that street in which that lived. The
Lord leads us to the prepared and it was a huge testimony builder for
me. We biked at lead 170 miles this week. Something else that we
organized this last week is that we will be teaching a free English
class to Haitian Refugees to help them be able to get jobs. One of our
investigators Jupiter speak decent enough English in order for us to
help the rest. We are excited for the great opportunity! I finally am
going to get off pictures this week. I hit 16 months today and time is
going way too fast but I am loving every second of it! This Gospel is
true and will fill the earth. We had 32 people at church which is the
highest that this struggling branch has had since no body remembers when. Thirty-two PLUS in an insane number and we were pretty excited. Being a trainer has
been such a learning experience. I have the best companion who is just
so humble and willing to learn. I am thankful for the trust that the
Lord has put in me to be a zone leader and trainer and I am learning so
much from it. Our zone is deemed to be the most productive and effective
zone in the whole mission. Elder Jennings and I were pretty proud of
that. Anyway, love you all!

**As a side note, last week when Tanner was telling me about biking hundreds of miles through the deep jungle, I asked him if he was ever nervous about something jumping out at him. He replied, "Well, I wasn't until just NOW when you said that!!".
I'm sure he sent me these photos because of my comment. Little stinker!
