Aloha everyone

Wow we had a great week! Our investigators are so awesome! We now have a baptism coming up! Bro. Natividad is getting baptized! We are very excited for him and for his choice to progress in this gospel. We don't have a specific date picked out cause he works a lot and his schedule is crazy. But he wants to finish his lessons all at once and then the next available date he is getting baptized.

Our other investigators are good still working on getting them to church, which seems to be really hard for people! But they are going good and we are loving teaching them.

So yesterday for fast Sunday we had a ward fast for missionary work.... it went really well and with that we went around to each auxiliary and gave them a challenge... we handed them all a referral card and challenged them to put a name on it right then. When we received them all back we counted 53 referrals that our ward has given us. The point of the referral card wasn't for us to gain lots and lots of new people to teach....the point was to get the members thinking of their friends and how they can share the gospel with them. Now we have their friends names and we can follow up on what they are doing to share the gospel with those friends. I want to challenge all of you right now to think of a name of anyone who can use the gospel in their life and start sharing it with them. Don't be the friend that doesn't share with them. I know if you will all do this it will help the missionary work in your area and help the missionaries. I'm sure the missionaries would love you.

Today was the best p-day ever! A member in our ward invited us to go hunting with them! We couldn't be the ones to pull the trigger but we can help them pack it.... We had so much fun... We left at 4 am and started hiking in around 6. The member had invited a non member couple to join us and they came. The son of our member shot a really nice goat! He made a 400 yd shot, through both lungs and dropped it! (And he is only 13) We helped clean it and then pack it out! We were hunting on a REALLY steep mountain and when he shot the goat we were about to the bottom! We packed it back to the top cause it was the only way to get it out.... While we were packing it out I was walking a long side the wife of the couple that came with us and she was asking me questions about the church.... with all of her questions I am pretty sure that I taught her all the lessons. (haha) And while I was teaching her Greene was talking to the husband!! They are awesome people and are already living and sharing the gospel!

Well I hope you all have a great week! I love you all and wish the best for you! Thank you so much for all you do for me!
