I'm happy today and glad that I do get some time to send an email your way. I'm sorry that lately it's been on Tuesdays, we just are all over the place on Mondays even though it is P-day. This past week was just great but a little slower then normal. On Sunday we did get to have a great lesson with Ben and with Sam (our Chinese friend). Ben has expressed interest in serving a mission and that is really exciting because he's not even baptized (March 30th) and he's already thinking of going on a mission to let others know about the eternal significance of the gospel. He's doing great and will meet him baptismal date. Sam is doing great as well. When we sat down with him we asked if he has been able to read from his Chinese Book of Mormon, and he grabbed his book and starting flipping the pages and he stopped at Alma 32! He's already read to ALMA 32!!! Elder Herrin and I just about fell off our chairs we were so excited. We watched the Restoration DVD with him in Chinese so that he could understand more about the prophet Joseph Smith and where the Book of Mormon came from. He's doing very well and has been to church every week for about a month.
That's great to hear that you are getting some warm weather over there, because we are just getting more snow and cold weather. It snowed Sunday night and it's clear outside right now and pretty chilly. I really hate the snow and want it to be spring here. It's spring break for the university in town so it's actually pretty quite and not much commotion going on. We have interviews with President Jergensen this week and so I'm excited for that and ready to update him from my last interview. He love Elder Herrin and I so it'll be just great.
That's sweet that your planning on going to Cali. I want to go there so bad. MOM you have to go, just drink a couple of red bulls and you'll have all the energy in the world. I love the Midwest, it truly has a special place in my heart and Ames is a very special place for me. I will be transferred out of here on April 25th and be in my last area probably fixing what other missionaries have destroyed since that's been the trend for me my entire mission. Elder Pope my 2nd boy in now the district leader down in Ankeny and that's exciting to see that he is doing well in his mission and staying strong in the gospel. I'll be on exchanges with him later on in the transfer.
Keep being good and do fun things.
Elder Gonzalez Ames 2nd ward
