September 6th --Transferred to Trujillo

....We contacted this guy that worked in a tire shop and started teaching him and his niece. Anyway after like two lessons we we´re startng to read bits of the Book of Mormon together and he saw the picture of Joseph Smith in front and stopped the lesson and asked, "that's Joseph Smith right?" We were really surprised cause we had barely mentioned his name and didn't really expect him to know that.. We answered that it was, and then he started telling us about a dream he had that he'd forgotten about till just then where he was walking through a crowd and picked out the face of a man (guess who) as he walked toward him through all the people and they just locked eyes as he passed, so the man turned out to be Joseph Smith.


....and then me and Elder Erickson about passed out.

...When we call our district for their numbers every wednesday thursday and sunday, we added a new category that I'm gonna apply to you guys. We ask every companionship how many times they told their companion they loved them. Which is weird at first right? But expressing love to the Lord or other people is honestly one of the best ways to get the spirit. So do it if you want to be happier people. And if it feels weird or like too much work think about this quote from President Eyring "If you knew how hard we worked in the quorum to have the spirit, you would be embarassed with your own efforts." (I'm told it was said with all humility so don't take it wrong.)

Everybody pray for Trent. For some reason I've been super preoccupied with him lately.

That is all.
