Learning the area, loving the people

This week was a pretty good week. We taught the Gallegos and man we could feel the spirit so strongly after we taught about the Law of Chastity and then also talked about being sealed. After teaching that we invited them to be baptized because we both felt the prompting, they didn’t accept but we know that they will it just needs to be on the Lords time. I testify of that.

We have been doing a lot of research and extracting names from the old Progress Records and we have like 30 names or so right now that we need to go contact so it is hopefully going to be a good week with a lot of new investigators. I have really had a good time so far with Elder Castellano and he is a great missionary and example for me. We have been doing a lot of service this week and man it feels so good to do service I just love all of the people here. I have been getting to know the area a little bit better but Rupert is pretty confusing for me so I am just trying to study up on the maps and to get myself acquainted with the area.

I just wanted to take some time out to congratulate Ben Lewis for getting his mission call. He is going to have a blast there especially if he serves in Virginia Beach! I also am super pumped for Becca Olsen getting here call to Washington and all the rest of the kids in Senior class that have gotten their calls. A mission is such a blessing in so many ways.

I really love serving and teaching. I hope everybody has had a good week and thank you for all of the prayers and support.

Con Amor,

Elder Saunders
