Big Things in a Small Town

This has been a pretty good week for us here in the middle of no where. I really am getting to know where I am at now. It isnt to hard on a count that everything is either way far away and we take one of the highways to it, or it is really close inside this little town. It has been fun though. We worked really hard this week and we saw a lot of blessings from our efforts, we just need to keep on pushing so we can have the success that the Lord wants here. We were really blessed. We had a family at church and two more, and they all loved it. We have a lot of people lined up to come to conference as well this weekend. We had like a million people that said they were going to come this weekend to church, but we just were not able to get them all there, so we will be continually working with them to get them to take that step of faith. We have a lot of hope for growth here, and we are already seeing it. We have already quadrupled our teaching pool, and we have a lot of people that are excited to come and be baptized, we just need to help them do the rest as well. We had one guy come to church that doesnt speak much english, but we paired him with our cuban, and they got along together super well, and originally the man had told us he was only going to come every other week because he wanted to go to his church as well, but he loved it and said he will be back next week, so we will be working hard with him to make sure he is able to feel all the blessings our Savior has for him. I dont know why, i just dont have much to say today, except that I am doing pretty well even in the middle of no where. I know that God is blessing us so much, and I am grateful to be apart of this branch at a time of such sucess. I know that God loves each and every one of his children, and that when we turn to him, and follow the counsel we are given and he has provided from leaders and the scriptures, we are able to feel his love even greater and overcome any difficulty that we may have. I love this work so much, and I love you all, always stay strong in the faith, and I cannot wait to hear from you soon.
