And, finally, #3:

The Apple did not fall from the tree.

Hmmmm...what to write about this week. It was kinda an average week, in that we had some highs and some lows. The high was that we got the Spanish elders moved in next door so we basically have a four man apartment without all the drama of living in a four man. We also had Zone Conference where we talked a lot about setting goals with faith and planning with inspiration. You just need to put your whole trust in God and allow to work miracles in your life. And how? Just as the people of Alma did: "...they did humble themselves before him; and because they cried mightily unto him he did deliver them out of bondage; and thus doth the Lord work with his power in all cases among the children of men, extending the arm of mercy towards them that put their trust in him." With that in mind, President Wilson extended a challenge for the mission: to have 50 baptisms mission-wide for the month of March. So these next few weeks are going to be hopefully teaching and baptizing like crazy!!!

The lows in the week though, we didn't get our iPads like we were hoping during Zone Conference, and we haven't been able to get our investigators with a date to church, they are really struggling health-wise and haven't been able to make it at all. Satan is working overtime out here. But the Lord's work cannot be hindered and the missionaries will triumph, for the Lord has said, "...whosoever I will shall go forth among all nations, and it shall be told them what they shall do; for I have a great work laid up in store, for Israel shall be saved, and I will lead them whithersoever I will, and no power shall stay my hand."

This next week lots of things planned, as well as transfer calls this Saturday, so next week will be a longer email I promise.

Love you all and hope you have an awesome week,
