....and that's all folks!

My time here in Aruba is about up! its interesting how the Lord will make time move so quickly, especially when you are working really hard and doing all that you can! things here have been great! we were able to watch conference here at the church and the church building here was just built 4 months ago so everything is brand new. It was amazing how many questions i was able to have answered from what the Prophet and Apostles spoke of! i hope that all of you were able to find answers to your questions as well! Its sad that conference comes and goes so quickly but thats just more reason to get prepared for the upcoming conference!

This week we did a whole bunch of service! first, we helped Brother Odor (one of the first members baptized here in Aruba in the 80's) clean up his yard because he threw out his back and couldnt lift anything. it was nice just to talk with him and help him out after all that hes done for this branch! then another day, we helped Bro. Yuyez (from Peru and served his mission in Peru) remodel his kitchen! we had to do a bunch of stuff and in the end, we had a bunch of dust up our noses and in our lungs! haha but it was a good experience! 

Our investigators here are really coming along! Sis. Emily (Recent Convert) keeps bringing a bunch of friends with her to church so we are teaching 3 of her friends and they are really progressing! hopefully we can put a couple baptismal dates with them this week! Then, a lady named Margo (from Colombia) contacted us in the street and we have passed by her house twice and she brought her whole family to church on sunday! We talked to her after and she told us that she felt great just being united with her family and the positive environment of the church! 

Its sad to think that i will be leaving Aruba next tuesday but i know that the work will continue with the new missionaries that are coming! Speaking of new missionaries, we have been trying to find a new apartment that is big enough for 4 missionaries but what we have found so far hasnt been that great or the landlords say no. Hopefully we can find something in the next week so that they will have a place to stay!! Love you guys and i hope that you all have a great week! 

Love,
