well it was a very busy week and lots has happened and lots to talk about so here it goes. On Monday we got to meet with a kid named Kalob who is my age at the Barry home and he's had some of the missionary discussions but thats been over a year ago and so we taught him the importance of the the gospel of jesus christ which was amazing. At the end of the lesson the spirit was really strong and you could tell that he was interested and so as the greenie, I extended the invitation to be baptized and he accepted! which will take place on October 22. He's so cool and we will meet with him again tonight and teach him about the commandments and stuff maybe even the first vision stuff again.
Other than that we have been studying a lot and have been trying to meet with the less actives in the ward. I would seriously say that we have 100 less actives or part member families just in the ward. Everytime that we meet with them or try to meet with them we end up finding someone on the street that is interested in learning more about it all.
I'm learning so much everyday and our extra hour of study a day helps so much. I've been spending alot of the evenings meeting the members of the ward, particularly the ward council people and have been sharing with them the family mission plan.
The highlight of the week was definantly on the weekend with zone conference on Friday in Nauvoo. We had to wake up at 4 and be out of the apt at 5 in order to get to the peoria stake center to meet up with the zone leaders and stuff. At the conference we learned about the restoration a little better and had a 70 speak to us but he's like a 6th quorom of the 70 guy so not that high up. we did spend the rest of the evening there and took some pictures of the place and the elders that were there.
THE SOONER YOU SEND BACK THE MEMORY CHIP THE SOONER YOU GET NEW PICTURES!!!
Conference was the best conference that I've ever listened to. The Saturday morning session we watched at the stake presidents house with his family, and he's really young for a stake president like prob not even 40. So that was cool and then the rest of the time we were at the church setting up the projector and helping the deth with the other tv with the subtitles. I'm so out of food like it's nuts so shopping today is going to be huge.... I'm going to die from starvation. The members feed us good but its the breakfasts and lunches and the meals before bed that are taking out the pantry and fridge.
I now appreciate all the food that I had back at home.... ya sorry I didn't appreciate it as much as i should have.
umm ya i haven't received any package yet, but i might get it on friday when President Jergensen comes through for interviews.
You should look up where I live it 41 Yoksonot drive #5 bloominton illinois

I love you all and wish ya the best week ever>) haha chinese man smiling ha
