Hope you all have a great week. Mine wasn't to bad. We did more member work and contacts. We had a live nativity Friday and Saturday, we helped set it up and went through it a lot. I had way to much cookies but its okay. We have some really awesome members out here and I like how we are friends and just get along. We have a guy colten he is a nonmember but his girlfriend who is living with him is a member so we have been working with them. They are really cool and he is crazy. Nothing much has gone on really. We dont have a meal policy anymore so thats nice so now i have to think because it use to be boise for 40 before that cause you would gain 40 pounds. Im not doing that so ill be eating sparingly maybe skip lunches and exercise more. Christmas is coming up. I encourage all of you to get like a 5 dollar toy or something cheap and small. Wrap it and give it to someone you dont know weather its at school or at the store or walking. Christmas time is a time to actually focus on the birth of christ and as we share our light through charity it helps us and brightens us as well as other. We are all lighthouses, let your light shine and shine to help and see others so they can know your light. So others can shine their light on you when your light is dimming because we all have those days. Think of yourself as a light house always helping others and shining light.
Love you all here you go

Hola!
This week was pretty successful! We were able to work really hard to help our friends the grow as disciples of Jesus Christ! It's actually been pretty hot this past week. Even though it's supposed to be a cooler time of the year and we're in the cooler area of the mission, it's still really hot! We still come home soaked in sweat most days, especially after our morning pros.
I've really been enjoying my time training Elder Warner! We've been working really hard and he's been learning a lot! I'm glad he is who he is because he already has good missionary instincts and is very charitable and also funny. We've been having our laughing moments recently! It's been a really good time! We're working hard so that we can have some of our friends be baptized and make a covenant with God.
We tried a newer way to find this week. We obviously want to help families come unto Christ! That is our goal. So to try and do that, whenever a kid would talk to us in the street, we'd ask them if their parents were there so that we could talk with them and share a message. We were able to find multiple families this week and have some miracles happen with them! One of the families that we found this week was really cool and 4 of them went to Church on Sunday! We're going to keep working hard to see more miracles like that!
Spiritual Thought:
This week, I have been marking many good scriptures in the Book of Mormon. My comp, Elder Warner, actually shared these two verses with me.
Alma 32: 37-38
"37 And behold, as the tree beginneth to grow, ye will say: Let us nourish it with great care, that it may get root, that it may grow up, and bring forth fruit unto us. And now behold, if ye nourish it with much care it will get root, and grow up, and bring forth fruit.
38 But if ye neglect the tree, and take no thought for its nourishment, behold it will not get any root; and when the heat of the sun cometh and scorcheth it, because it hath no root it withers away, and ye pluck it up and cast it out."
I really like these scriptures because they explain faith very well. They explain how we need to act in our faith and not only believe. We can say that we believe in God and that we love Him, but what are we doing to show that in our lives. Are we on our phones scrolling social media for half the day or are we taking the time to study our scriptures? Are we deciding to go to Church to partake of the Sacrament and grow closer to God or are we skipping these moments so that we enjoy the things of the world more. Everything fits into the columns of bad, good, better, or best. We want to trade the things that fit in each column of the bad, good and better so that we can do the best things in our lives, receive the best blessings of God, and have the best relationship we can with Him. We know that Christ compared faith to a mustard seed. We need to plant it and take care of it so it can grow, flourish, and produce the fruits that with help us have a plentiful life of Godly joy! I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Mission Plan
Mission Plan
As a disciple of Jesus Christ, I will find personal joy in the Love of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, seek to Share my love for the Restored Gospel with family, friends, neighbors and others at school and work, and I will Invite someone to join with me and my family in worshipping Father in Heaven.
I will make a personal effort to meet each person who comes to the Keokuk Branch, and to see them as beloved son or daughter of Heavenly Father who loves them. I can do this by:
Learning their names and finding out what is important to them,
Inviting someone I know for a missionary teaching appointment at my home or joining with the missionaries at a teaching appointment, and
Attending a baptism and seeking out the new member as a friend.
I will pray for each member for whom I have ministering responsibilities by his or her name, including those who may be less-active or have strayed from the covenant path, that Heavenly Father will guide me to help them to receive the ordinances and blessings of eternal life.
