Hey Mom and Dad and family.  

This last week was crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We had transfers and you might be getting another letter from president senior.  I hve been called as a district leader!  It is way fun because the our zls are way awesome.  one is in my group and the other is another person that i knew in the MTC.  It is really fun to serve with them.  This last week was really good.  We had another person be baptized.  His name is Nat.  He is way awesome.  He had a lot of problems right before he was going to be baptized but he and the Lord worked through them and was able to be baptized just yesterday.  I will send a pic of the baptism.  He was so scared because of the amount of people that were there but after he came out of the water he was a changed person.  He was willing to help us all of the time yesterday and he wants to help us teach and serve everyone.  

This last week was a very busy week and we are all very tired.  A couple of members were sick so they asked us to help them with their calling and we felt like we just wanted to serve them so we did.  It was a very special week and i really did understand more about how important all of the callings in the church are.  If we didnt have them the church could not run the Lords way but everyone is needed to build up His kingdom on the earth,  He created us all so why wouldnt He give us all somethign to do for His Kingdom?  

Transfers was really good.  Elder Mondragon, Grover and a couple of other Elders that i really loved are now home.  I miss them all and now i feel like i dont know hardly anyone in the mission anymore.  i only have 4 comps that are actually still here in thailand.  It feels like i am getting old in the mission but most of the time i just dont feel any different.  

Today i wanted to share a little bit from my personal study.  I decided to study about what Zion was.  I have started but i have not finished.  It takled about it in D/C about being pure in heart so that all leads to desires.  It was really really cool because i thought of it like this because i also read in 1kings 8:1 when solomon is getting all of israel together and the thing that brought them together was the temple and the ark of the Covenant.  So i thought about it and the Temple and all of our covenants bring us closer to the Lord and because we have that one point it is making us all one just like Zion.  

That is all that i have for today.  I love you so much and i hope and pray that everyone will have a safe and fun week.
