Hey Everybody!!

I got the picture of Walter and my boy Elder Lealiiee, where did you guys see him at?! Looks like he's doing work where ever he's at. 
 
 
 
 
 

This week has been pretty awesome! So we taught Mindy the Gospel of Jesus Christ on Wednesday and her husband joined in too. We found out that her husband actually used to be a member and was baptized by someone in one of the wards in our building. So now were working on getting both of them into activity and helping build their faith and testimonies stronger and stronger. We still haven't been able to meet with Robert, his family is all sick with the flu :/ But we've had a ton of success with talking to people on the street. On Tuesday we ran into a guy named Mosiah.. yeah like from the Book of Mormon, haha, we started talking to him and we found out he's a music producer, he writes music, and he raps. He travels to different parts of the world for work and he was back visiting his family for the holidays. So we ended up teaching him the whole first lesson on his front porch right after we talked to him. It was so awesome!! We gave him a copy of the BOM and told him there was a book in it with the same name as his, so he was super stoked about that and told us he would definitely read it. We also gave out about 6 other Books of Mormon to other people on the street and had similar contacts like Mosiah. We’ve also been helping a bunch of members get set up with their family history. One member we helped was Joe Scott who is only a convert of about 7 years, is in his 70's and always tells us stories about when he was a kid in New York and New Jersey, let me tell ya, this old man has been around the block a time or two, haha. Anyway there was nothing on his family tree because he and his wife are the only members of their family. After a few hours we helped him find a bunch of his relatives from back in the 1800's from Naples and Catania Italy, it was so cool. He has never been to the temple either and now he's got a ton of names he can take when he goes. So it has been a good week. I hope everything back down south is in order and things are starting to warm up a bit. 

Well guys, stay strong, stay true, and look out for each other while I'm away, alright?
I love you all,
-Elder Daniel
