Return to Ottumwa

This week I had the opportunity to go back to Ottumwa to see one of the people i taugh there get baptized. Last transfer in Ottumwa was a pretty rough time and we didn't get to see many people progress, but Elder Matthews and I were able to find and teach a little Marshallese boy named Jessie, and he finally got baptized two days ago. It was really awesome to go back to Ottumwa, I felt like i was driving home. When we got there i got to talk to a lot of my old friends who lived there, and I got to call a lady named Stacie as well who was one of my best friends back when I served there. I look up to her a lot.

Also this week, we were able to go and teach a referral we got from the English elders called the Gonzalez family. We had heard good things about them and we finally got to sit down with all of them and teach a lesson. During the lesson we were surprised by how prepared they were to recieve the gospel. Its always good to find someone like that. It was really a testimony builder to me that God is working a few steps ahead of us as missionaries to prepare the people to listen. 

Tomorrow we get our transfer calls and we are getting nervous. My hint is "Otro Hispanico" and elder rocha's is "Manin". I have no idea whats going to happen.

I love you all and hope you have a great week
