Hey everyone, for all those I haven't emailed today, I am very sorry. We went to the zoo and now I am out of time, whoops! Love you all though, and I will email you all next week! This week was so awesome! We met with Tin EVERY SINGLE DAY THIS WEEK!!! EVERY DAY AND THEN HE HAD HIS BAPTISMAL INTERVIEW AND HE'S READY FOR BAPTISM THIS SATURDAY, AND HE GAVE A VIETNAMESE BOOK OF MORMON TO HIS DAD AND HE'S SO EXCITED, WOOOOOOOO!!!  We were helping Dan Torres, a returning member, on a home he's preparing to be rented out, so that was a party.  Then we helped rake Sis.

He's a spiritual giant, and he asked me what I would teach the mission if I was in his position, and it was the healing power of the atonement. Then we got to meet with Sister Holli...

 TAMPA BUCS FOR THE W!! ROAD TO SUPER BOWL LV!!! EVERYONE CHEER FOR THE BUCS BECAUSE I AM CURRENTLY LIVING 15 MINUTES FROM STADIUM, WOOOOOOOOO!!!! Hope that caught everyone's attention, but this week was absolutely awesome!  We had some awesome lessons with our friends Tin and Ani! We put both of them on date, and both are loving the book of mormon and got permission from their parents, MIRACLES!!!! AND BOTH OF THEM CAME TO CHURCH, YEEEEEEHAAAAAWWW!!! We had zone conference, and it was powerful! Elder Thacker and I gave a training on being a 'Preach My Gospel' missionary. I loved it! Then President spoke all about the atonement, because that is our central doctrine. EVERYTHING revolves around the atonement, without it, we are lost in our fallen and mortal state.  WE HAD AN AWESOME LESSON WITH ERIC!! IT'S BEEN FOREVER, BUT BISHOP PATEL JOINED IN AND IT WAS POWERFUL. We talked about how sometimes, God only gives us what we need at the moment, and not everything can or wil...

I will stop talking like this and get down to writing.  We had a couple of exchanges this week, I got to hang out with the other Elders in my apartment for the day. IT WAS A SPANISH AREA!
