1st cycle complete✔️

For the past couple of Sunday's me and Elder Richards spent our time
In the primary because he is good at playing the piano and so the
primary people asked him to play the piano for the kids for the
primary program. So this past Sunday we had the primary program in our
ward. It was great! I got to sit on the stand with them while they
sang, and I also got a free yellow bow tie, all the boys had to wear
bow ties and the girls wore some kind of a yellow scarf or something.
While I was sitting with the kids the primary instructors told me to
keep an eye on them, but I didn't really have to do anything because
they were awesome and really reverent.

After the primary program ended the fun did not stop because during
the 2nd and 3rd hours the primary teachers just brought a bunch of
food for everybody and we just sat there and ate food and played with
the kids for about 2 hours it was awesome.

We also got our transfers calls this week and not that many people got
transferred this cycle, we only had 4 people that are leavings this
cycle,  2 sisters and 1 elder are getting transferred and 1 elder is
leaving home. Nobody is changing in my pad were all staying here for
at least another cycle, but this is Elder Richards' 5th cycle in this
area so he will probably leave after this cycle.

On Monday we went to another part of our area, we call it "outer
darkness" but it's really called Wakefield. The reason we call it
outer darkness is because in the 6 weeks that I have been here this
was only my second time in that area and there aren't very many
Spanish speakers there. Anyway we had a really good day in outer
darkness and contacted a lot of people and I think we got 2 or 3 new
investigators and theY seemed really interested.

Recently we have been sharing the lesson on the Book of Mormon a lot
and what we would do for that is read the first and the last two
paragraph of the introduction and talk about it. It's amazing to me
how some people reject it without even trying to give it a chance and
its also amazing how the Book of Mormon can change somebody so much.
In my first cycle here I have been reading it a lot and right now I'm
in Alma 24 and I have come to love reading the Book of Mormon so much
and my testimony of the Book of Mormon has grown a lot! I'm grateful
to have the Book of Mormon in my life and I know that it's true.
