I got my bike back!!

October 13th

So, this week was pretty good! I uh.... I got my bike back! :D Woot woot! So that's good! I gave the info to our ward Mission leader (Who is the biggest lawyer in town) and he knew the guy and got someone who knew him to get it back... so I have my bike back! And, It has an added accessory!  It has a kickstand! :D Wahoo! I'm not exactly sure how he got it back but hey, it's Clovis! Haha. Que mas.. oh! That same day, Elder Engstrom had some sweet acrobatics on his bike! It was pretty impressive. Most of the tricks were after he hit the ground though. He did a couple barrel rolls and things like that. He's ok, nothing to bad. Just a little bruised. So thats good!!!

We had interviews this last week as well! President Heap is the best! :D I love him. We also had a Mission wide fast for the work here to progress. And also for us to give up things that are holding us back.  I've been brought to much reflection and thought this week about what I can/need to give up. I'm working on it. He is inspired! 

D and R are going to be baptized on the 22nd!!!  I'm so excited!!  They are great!  Their parents are supportive too! :D 

I love you all! Thank you for the prayers and everything that you do! Les amo mucho! 

Con amor- Elder Allen3

PS. "E", a girl we were teaching a couple months ago, just got Baptized in California! Wahoo!! :D Heavenly Father knows what he's doing!

Meet the Mormons!

October 6th

 

So this week was good! We set D and R's Baptismal date for the 25 of October! And we are really excited! And we got 3 new investigators this week as well! They are cool! On Tuesday we went and saw the movie Meet the Mormons. We went to Lubbock and watched it as a zone! It was cool! It was at the church and President Heap got the DVD mailed to him by Church Head Quarters. So, no big deal! :D Haha, I hope that you ALL watch it! It's super duper good! :)

 And then Saturday and Sunday were the best days of the month. General Conference :D Oh yeah! They were soooo good! and I'm trying to get them onto my ipod. But, It seems to be smarter than me. So, maybe I'll send it home and see if you can get it on. I'm pretty sure that the technology has greatly improved since I've been gone, (That makes it sound like I've been gone a long time. haha).  I thought that I got the music on it and it shows up in the menu but won't play. Maybe Alice, Carter, Tanner, or Tyler in their great wisdom can persuade my ipod to co-operate.

 I love you all so much! I hope an pray all is well with you :D

Les amo! :D Elder Allen!

It was Awesome!

September 29th
 

Alrighty then, So! Our Investigator "M" got Baptized! It was so cool! It was by her Husband who was less active but not anymore! He was ordained a Priest on the 21st and Baptized her last Friday. And, Haha she had to be dunked 4 times. But overall, she really felt the spirit and loved it a lot :) And the Sisters had 2 Investigators get baptized as well! They are pretty awesome.

And then! On Sunday, she was confirmed!  The spirit was so strong during the Confirmations.  During the testimonies our two or investigators D and R got up and bore their testimonies. Super awesome! R (They are both 14. I've talked with you guys about them before) told everyone how her parents don't want her to be baptized because they are Catholic. She said she really wants to be baptized,believes in it and wants to be part of the church, and she belives the Book of Mormon is true. It was awesome! 

And then D got up and told everyone that he believes Joseph Smith to be a Prophet and the Book of Mormon is true and Said "I was just going to tell the missionaries this after church, but I decided to just tell everyone". I Had no idea what he was going to say next... He said "I've been praying and I just want to be baptized as soon as possible!" My jaw just about hit the floor. And I'm sitting right behind him to share my testimony. So Naturally, everyone can see my face. Haha, and the faces of the people in the congregation were pretty awesome too! So, this weekend was pretty great! And Yeah! I'm excited for this week! GENERAL CONFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOT WOOT! I'm pretty stoked. 

We are going to be working on "finding" a lot this week. I love finding. Riding around and talking to people is the best! :D I hope you all know that I love you guys! And that This Is the Kingdom of God here on the Earth. And that The Book of Mormon is true, Jesus is the Christ, and Heavenly father loves you. En El nombre de Jesuscristo, Amen.

Con amor, Elder Allen
