Until the End

Hey Family! 
:) How is my family today? Thank you so much for the good photos and letters today! This week has been a good one.

Another week, come and gone. This week was very good. Man, it was hard to say goodbye to Elder Persinger, and I've actually been missing him quite a bit because we were such good buds, but I'm happy that my new companion is also going to be a best friend. He's from Washington, and from what I've learned, lived way out in the boonies and is quite an outdoorsman. I like 'im. :)

We've really gotten to be good friends with Priscila, a young lady who went to church last week, and her family. She's been reading and went to church this week again (!!!) and was introduced to all the young single adults and invited to an activity. I am really excited for her and am hoping that the Spirit can slowly enter into her life and she can embrace a new path in her life, based on the Lord. I am really hoping all goes well with her.

We contacted another girl, Stephanie, who's 14, and she got really excited after the lesson and said she would be at church and our English class. She came! And she also realized that a close friend from school is a member of the church and they really connected. She had a good first experience and says she's reading, and it looks like she's going to accept the gospel in the future.

Junior has continued to take lessons from us but due to strange circumstances wasn't able to come to church, but I'm really praying for him and hoping that he receives an answer soon because he says he's been really looking and praying recently, but hasn't felt anything yet. Well, his time will come.

I hope you all can continue help me by including these three in your prayers. I really love 'em and am thinking they'll be the last marking relationships I'll have in my mission because I'm really trying to give my all so that they can accept the gospel.

We did a couple of service projects this week on the new house, and it looks like we'll be able to move in TOMORROW! Finally! After 3 months of waiting! I'm excited to live behind the Dullius' house!

Anyway, not to much new stuff. I'm dedicated to working hard, making contacts on the street and giving every moment of this last month the Lord has given me in His vineyard. Sometimes it's been hard to not get trunky or not think of home, but my companion and our awesome investigators and the knowledge that I'll never get to do this work again keeps me running! Until the end!

I love you all and I apologize for my short e-mails recently... But we'll get plenty of communication in in a little bit. :)

Love love love! Have a great week everyone!

Elder Con



 No photos AGAIN because, well, my camera has been broken for a while now. The battery simply doesn't charge. And I was uploading photos from my companion's camera, but Elder Bryant doesn't use his as much. SORRY! I want to take a bunch of mission action shots as remembrances. I'll do that.
