¿Hola como esta? Well this week has been super fun. Elder Wyllie and I have been doing quite a bit of service in the mornings and after noon for a lady by the name of Casey Forkenbrock and she is one of our investigators in the Temple View Ward and she has a lot potential. We are helping her to take out a couple of tree stumps and there is a picture below with us (Elder Wyllie, Curtis, Sherlock, and Araya) around the smaller of the 2 stumps. We were able to get that one out in around 3 hrs but we are currently still working on the much bigger stump. We have been able to teach Casey once and went over the restoration and she was really receptive and open. On saturday I was able to go out with Amanda and Mary and that was a lot of fun to be able to go out to lunch with them! We went to Olive Garden and have a great meal and be able to catch up on what all is going on in the outside world. Oh and unfortunately I found out last night that I still have high blood pressure and so I will have to call the mission doctor soon to find out what I need to do or who I need to go see. Elder Wyllie and I have some pretty high goals that we have set for the coming week that we both feel like if we buckle down and work hard that we will be able to achieve these goals that we have set. This area has a lot of people and a lot of potential for missionary work. Our hardest part is just catching people home for our scheduled appointments but we are going start a new tactic and start teaching wherever and whoever is home. Well I better go now but I hope y'all are all reading Preach My Gospel and follow that advice that we received at General Conference. I love y'all very much and hope y'all have a great week!!

P.S. - Here are a couple pictures. One is a picture of a service project that we are doing for one of our investigators. The other is a picture with my new companion Elder Wyllie.
