Hello!  I hope all is well with all of you. I am  still waiting for my  package but hopefully  I will get it this coming week. For me it was very good week finding new people to teach. We are blessed always with new investigators to teach. We find family, they are very interested about the Gospel. We contact the husband on Thursday and talk with him small and meet him again on Friday. We spend small time with him  and we invited him to worship with us. I just invited him because  I have to. I was surprises when he come to church with his wife and children. They enjoyed it. We are going to see them again on Wednesday. Even we had other investigators. She is so nice. She is looking for the truth. She has a baptismal date on 16 of November. Hopefully we will help her to be baptized. Even she is keeping the commitment.  We have five people in sacrament meeting, even our mission president attend with us. All the meeting that was nice to see him in our ward. He is nice mission president, we have baptism next Saturday. His name is Philip. He is 19 years old. We had lesson with since July, now he is ready to be baptized.  We lose Joseph because of his family, his wife and his mom against the church even he wants to be baptized. But it is not good, so we talk with him so  we will see  for the future. He will be baptized one day, maybe in this life or next life. For Eric we try to help him but he is not helping himself.  He know that he have to be baptized and leave his church but he don't want to do that. So for last time we are planing to see him this week. We had zone conference last Tuesday. It was nice meeting talking about the Book Of Mormon. We have to use the Book Of Mormon when we teach. I really like teaching from the Book Of Mormon. It is nice and simple to understand. Even  we are teaching from Doctrine &Covenants. It was nice. No one is going to stop us to testify about the truth. I got athletes foot .  It is not  easy thing, too much walking.  I change my socks every day and wish  my foot every night and morning, but it will be okay. I hope so. We are working with this people for now, but we  keeping looking for those who are ready but the world is getting bad every day. I saw some news talk about the new  Marburg, a virus similar to Ebola, has hit the radar in the African country of Uganda. I don't now what that means. It is very close to Ethiopia. Sound like we are in the latter days. We pray that all will be okay.
