Hi family and friends,
I can´t believe its here. My last week in the field. How is everybody doing? I hope you are all doing awesome! I´m doing really good. Today was a ton of fun. All of the missionaries in the zone and some of my native friends came to play soccer for our last time. We had a ton of fun. We invited Patricio to come with us and he loved it. He didn´t look like a 57 year old out there playing with us. He kept up the whole time! Well now I´ll fill you all in with what happened last week. We had our appointment with Nazaret, the girl whose mom contacted Elder Smith and Elder Barney last week. She is awesome! She is sixteen and has a boyfriend who is a member that lives in Texas. He is actually a returned missionary. We walked in her house and she had a ctr ring on, her book of mormon, and was ready to go! We explained how things were going to go the next few weeks and she said she knows the church is true already. We talked about baptism and the only thing impeding her at the moment is her mom who wants to investigate a little first. She might actually make her wait until she is 18 which would be a bummer. We gave her mom a book of mormon too so she can find out a bit more. But anyway, Nazaret came to church and everything and i think she loved it! Today she called me and said she wanted to meet with us tomorrow morning. She said there is something she wants to talk to us about. I hope its something good. We have her in our prayers and also her mom so her heart is softened and she can feel the power of the message too. We´ll see what happens tomorrow. Maria and Armando are doing ok. We just can´t get them to church! We have an appointment with them in about 20 minutes though so hopefully we´ll make progress. Rafa is doing really good. He has been really busy lately and hasn´t been able to read what we´ve left him but he loves it all still. He came to church as well. We have two investigators named Antonio and Carolina that we found a couple of weeks ago and its fun to see their progress. The first time we met with them Carolina left. But since then she has been listening and last time we went to visit her she was on page 113 in the Book of Mormon! They love us coming by but we need to help them keep their commitments. On thursday we had a conference with Elder Schutze who is from the 3rd quorum of the 70. He is German and really straightforward haha. I had to conduct the conference so I was a little nervous but it turned out great. He talked a lot about how important our appearance is and how people are always watching us. After the conference I hopped on a bus for 3 hours to do an exchange with Elder Masterson in Algeciras. Yep the Elder I trained! It was good talking with him and seeing the progress he has made. I really can´t believe its my last full week in the field. I told Elder Hales that this is the week of miracles. We are going to see them and I have no doubt about it. No matter how small or big, we are going to see them. I´ve gotta make it count right? Next week I´m not sure if I´ll be emailing so this might be my last. Its possible that I´ll be in Málaga for a zone leader conference on monday so I won´t be able to email. And I´m guessing I´ll just stay there until my family comes to meet me. I don´t know for sure though. If this is the last one, thank you so much for all the support you´ve given me the last 2 years and my whole life before that. You´ve always been there for me and I couldn´t have been surrounded by better people. You all mean the world to me and I´m excited to see you all again! I love you all so much and I know God and His Son Jesus Christ live. This is Their church. The atonement of Jesus Christ is real and was made for all that come unto Him. I love this work and I love being a missionary. Thanks for everything. I love you.
Love, Elder Langston
