Planning totally works!!

What up! How have you guys been? Whats new? Thanks for the email. Sorry for the my late email, we were a little busy. Here you go though.

This week went well. Me and my comp. Elder Stone have been working hard to find more people to teach. We had another cool experience with planing specifically in what we are going to do through out the day. We decided one night that we need to plan better. But this time we were going to plan with exactness. As we planned for our next day. We were making plans for knocking doors and doing contacts. We decided to pick a street and contact that street the next day. As we finished, we ended with prayer to let the Lord know where and what we have planned. The next day we started knocking doors and about the 3rd door we met a lady named Guadluape. We contacted her and started talking, it started to rain a little and that's when she let invited us into her house. We taught the first lesson and also made another appointment to return the following week. The principal I learned was how important prayer is, even being specific in your prayers can make a difference. I like relating prayer to a phone call. If you were to meet a friend at a specific time and place, would they know where to go without your phone call? No. Just as we call our friends to be with us at a specific time and place. Calling upon the Lord in prayer to let him know our plans and to receive inspiration on things we need to do during the day is just as or more important.

That was my week.Its good to hear from you guys. Thanks for the studly pics of Parker. I hope all is going well and tell Ashlyn and Brooklyn I said Hi! I love you. Peace!

I found a finger nail in my soup!

What up! How have things been? How are you guys? It sounds like everyone is living the dream or at least "The Plan". Sounds like all is going well.

This week was well interesting. I have been learning much about how promises and covenants really make a difference. Trusting in our Savior and that after all we can do our Savior will make up the difference in all things.

As you know we have had a little struggle in finding investigators or someone that is truly interested. Me and my comp Elder Stone decided that we are going to fast every Tuesday to find more investigators and for our Spanish as well. Being conference weekend we also fasted to find someone to join us and listen to the prophets. Well, during the week we didn't really have any success. Until Wednesday night we got a phone call from an Elder saying that Guillermo, an investigator, wanted to listen to our message. He happens to live in our area. We set an appointment for that next morning. He liked what were teaching and at the end of the lesson we asked if he would be interested in listening to our prophet and apostles speak this weekend. He wasn't sure but said he would give us a call if he had time on Sunday. Saturday night he called and wanted to go. He liked the conference and the members that were there. We taught him this morning and he wants to be baptised. The Lord made up the difference. The difference for me is simple. We work as we should and keep our covenants. Have faith and trust that it will work out, not that it might but it will. Not my will by thin will be done. Show the Savior that you trust him and he will trust you and bless you. Cool huh!?

Just an update on what I have ate in my mission so fare. I have ate Monkey tacos, pig brain tacos, chicharon "pig skin", and also a couple weeks ago I found a freaking finger nail in my soup. Everything has been really not that bad except for the finder nail. Freaking sick.

Thank you for the pictures of the girls. Your family is adorable. Thank you for being my sister and for the relationship that we have. I love you so much and thank you for all your prayers. It works Amber, prayer works. To be honest I have felt a difference these last couple days. Just being happy with the knowledge that I have. Content that's the word. Thank you for your prayers. The church is true and things will always work out. I love you all. Brandon love you nigga! Peace!

I got robbed this week!

What up! How have you guys been? What have you all been up to? I hope everyone is doing great.

This week went well or as good as we could make it. We don't have any investigators at the time. What we have been doing is a lot of street contacts, looking for references and working with recent converts and less actives. We were able to get one appointment set up for this Wednesday but that's about it. Also, this week I got robbed. Sweet! Nothing big though. A drunk guy came up to us and wanted some money, we said we didnt carry any during the day. He saw me drinking a coke and wanted that also. I just gave it to him and we took off. Stupid drunk guy.

My comp. is rad. His first name is also Jordan. He just completed one year. His Spanish is great and he is also District Leader. Hes is from Idaho Falls.

Keep me up dated with everyone and anything new happening in the world. I hope everyone is healthy and happy back at home. Thank you for all your support and love once again. Your emails are great and I love you guys. I will keep you all in my prayers. Peace Out!

Your Elder,
Bailey
