Talked to Ian today for a bit.  He told me a sweet story of this old lady that was excited to have the gospel being taught to her by the missionaries she gave them a watermelon.  He said he cried because this woman had nothing and gave them this food.  He was so touched and was so grateful to have he honor of teaching her about Christ and the gospel.   He is doing well.  Learning and growing.

This week has been a regular week and we have been doing our regular missionary work. We have started to play basketball every saturday with some of our investigators and also Im teaching English Classes after basketball at 9:00 so that we can get more people to come to the church to see what its like inside. My comp is also taking the clases from me of english be is very rough to work with so he doesnt really learn very well because he is mad but we are working on it. On wednesday we took a day just to find more people to teach and we found 21 new people and there are some amazing families that want to learn more about this beautiful gospel that we have. We had to explain to a lot that we dont take money because all the people here are used to giving money to other missionaries and pastors so we have to explain that the blessings of the lorda are free and we read a scripture from Matthew 10 that the servents of the lord dont take money. I am here with a awesome new Zone leader whos called Elder Schnepf almost like a sneeze. He is super cool and if from Gilbert Arizona. I have been having a fun time walking in the mountains and building up my leg muscles so that is awesome. haha. Also It has been so cool to call my family everyweek and share stories with them and also seeing there faces is super aswesome. Tonight we are making dinner for a blind and the other 12 memebers of her family . My comp is going to make some fried bananas with some frie sauce. I will be making white rice and eggs with hotdogs and cheese. I thing it should be pretty good food for them. This blind lady has the biggest testimony in the world. We asked her why she is always happy and she said its because she has this beatiful gospel in her life. I just wish other people could recognize the blessings of this gospel. I hope you are all saying your prayers and reading your scriptures. I love you lots and Ill see you soon

This blind lady he referenced asked them to take a walk up the mountain with her.  They were her eyes and she guided them around the mountain. She had it memorized from before she lost her site.  They just had to tell what they could see.
