So I will try to give a rundown of the last 2 weeks since I kind of forgot to send a weekly letter last week!  In the last two weeks we had a zone conference now this zone conference was a special one because it was my last one on my mission!  At your last zone conference you are expected to give what’s called a departing testimony!  It was the weirdest thing ever!  Throughout your whole mission you watch hundreds of other missionaries give there’s but in the back of your mind you really think that day will never come!  Well that day came and it was weird!  I will admit it was cool sitting back and watching a lot of the elder you came out with give theirs like Elder Peck, Makalio, Patterson, and many more!  I love a lot of those guys and we have become very good friends over the past two years and it was so fun to sit back and hear all the things we have learned over the past 2 years!  This past week we had the chance to have a branch barbeque it was way fun!  In the morning we decided to send a massive text out and invite everybody in our phone it turned out great we had a great turnout!  The weather was perfect we set up the volleyball net and we also played basketball!  It was a blast!  We had a lot of less actives come to the barbeque and in turn the fellowship there was great and they actually finally made it back to church this Sunday!  The more and more I spend my time here in Sheep Springs, NM I really truly feel like the work here is mainly for less actives!  Now a lot of people may say "no you always need to have investigators"  which yes I agree with but that is what we have tried my whole time here and I’m not going spend any more time working with investigators rather than working with less actives!  I have truly seen some miracles in my time here working with less actives so strongly!  I have watched an old branch president quit drinking completely and now be active in the church working on getting his temple recommend back!  I have watched a mother and grandmother who had such hard feeling for people at church and for the missionaries soften her heart and let us in her home and then even come to church for the past couple of weeks!  It’s been incredible to watch the Lord’s hands in all of this! Have a great week take care and happy mother’s day!
