6 months!!! What???

Wow I have completed a third of my mission.  That is just bizarre.  It has gone by so fast and I have only heard that it gets faster!  Only 1 year left!  

But I hope all is well with all of you.

Tuesday we had a conference with Elder Anderson and with many other 70s and the Presidency of the Area. It was a fabulous conference and we learned a lot. Elder Andersen had great advice for our mission and for our lives as well. He said that every convert needs to show two things before they are baptized. 1) They need to have felt the love and grace of the Savior as they have repented and 2) They need to have a love for the book of Mormon. So we need to teach repentance very well and also show them a love for the book of Mormon and have them dig into it and read it so they gain a love. It was great advice for our mission.

It was also fun because it was with the West Mission as well so I got to see all the people from the MTC in the West mission which was good to see them all on our 6 month mark!

We have a lot of eternal investigators here in this area but we are working with them to figure out their needs and also we are finding new people every day as missionaries do!

The light goes out a lot in our apartment and the town so that is fun. Sometimes we sit in the dark for a couple of hours, haha.

A funny-miracle in the supermarket was I found sour cream and Chobani yogurt. These things are so hard to come by in the country my jaw dropped when I saw them. And yes, you better believe I bought them. Haha

Also the heat is starting to come full force here. The soul and humidity are really in full force, well not full force, that comes in August, but luckily I have acclimated a little bit, but wish me luck!

I hope you all have a great week!  Love and miss you all!
