July 29, 2019 Dustin Cheney Mon, Jul 29, 7:06 PM (13 hours ago) Whats up yall! I thought I would change it up haha This week, all i can say it was one for the books. We had a lot of experiences that I can say only happened because I was a missionary of the true church. We found a lot of people this week that we can start teaching, which is awesome! One girl named Ilda and her sister pearla. But I teach them english and then a little bit about the gospel! We had a activities night and their whole famliy showed up! Which was awesome!! We have a short lesson and then played and ate food.

Hola Mis Amigos!!! These past two weeks have been literally insane and so spiritually empowering!!! 1. Nefi and victor were baptized! I had the opportunity to come back and baptism them!
