Hey everyone, Well this week has been interesting and awesome. It's been awesome because more of the people we've been teaching are progressing. Manuel and Priscilla are doing so well. They are so receptive to Jesus Christ's message and are willing to follow His commandments. They are still going through hard times, but it is amazing to see how God strengthens those who follow him. Another really cool thing is that we are starting to see the positive effects of the gospel of Jesus Christ in another one of the people we are teaching. She hadn't been reading or attending church, so we were kind of worried about her, but then when we met her this week and she had read the Book of Mormon. She also seemed a lot happier and positive then before. It was a great contact because we were able to help her see how God had been helping her as she has been obeying the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Hey everyone! This week was pretty good. We weren't able to do as much proselyting as we would have liked, but we had some great success this week. First of all, one of the friends I am teaching, Manuel, is continuing to grow closer to Christ and to baptism. He is just so awesome!

This week has been a great week because we finally had some one attend sacrament meeting. He liked it a lot and said he would attend next week.  We are very excited for him and he is very excited for his baptism.  We also helped some people clean up their burned down house and because of it we made some good friendships with the people there and we hope that will lead into them receiving our message and hopefully will be willing to act upon it.  The most intense thing we've  been through this week was waiting go find out if one of us was going to be transferred. We found out that none of us was being transferred and we are all pretty happy about that because we are working with some amazing people. Love you guys lots! Elder Green
