Hi Everyone,
We cleaned up a cemetery for the community and helped this one member with building his project he's making in his backyard, he has a pool, a wooden structure for shade, and a counter of bricks for a grill to be inside it somehow. I was able to play the piano at sacrament meeting, as well at a baptismal service. There's something magical about music, it calms us down, gives us hope, it strengthens the faith, and invites the spirit, it's wonderful.

Annapolis
Hi everyone,
now I'm in Annapolis, a city just south-west from Baltimore. I have two companions now, Elder Bob and Elder Bob. We had Pupusas at a members house, which is a food from El Salvador that's a Tortilla with meat or cheese inside with "salad" and a sauce...super good. We have an investigator, Bob from Mexico, who was in a car accident a while back and lost some of his memory. He had to relearn how to speak and read Spanish again and it's hard to not confuse his intentions with complications. We watched the hour long restoration video with him to help him with his learning and so that he can feel the Spirit. From the storys, illustrations and examples in the video, he learned the importance of reading, praying and also of sharing this important message we have. I hope you enjoyed your Labor Day!
Love

Atonement
Hi everyone,
this next transfer I'm going to be in a trio with two natives! Maybe now I'll learn my Spanish! :)And there's going to be 35 new missionaries to the mission. We've doubled in size since six months ago. It's awesome, we've been forced to come out of our comfort zones and step up to leadership responsibilities etc. There's a lot of people that really struggle with understanding why God would let bad things happen such as loosing a loved one or job, house and all of your belongings, others think it's too late for them to be religious because they've done something too horrible and it's made me think and study more about the Atonement.
