whats up fam. sounds like all is going good. that is good that teisha won in tennis and in her campain. shell make a good president. haha thats good that tate won his first game. that is crazy that he is in 8th grade. i still remember all my games in 8th grade. crazy. that is good that texas beat ucs. thats awesome that jay got to start and that he had a good game. i am proud of that kid. thats awesome that he is playing good. but this week was a good week. we just pretty much talked to everyone and we had some good lessons this week. we also visited a bunch of inactive members this week. there are a bunch in our area. the one  guy that we found this week is named Pedro. he just let us right and he had alot of questions. He had talked to missionarries before and he said they just left. so he had a book of mormon and we taught him the plan of salvasion. it is so easy to teach someone that has questions and a interest to know the truth. we have another lesson this week with him. it was alot of fun to teach him. we also found this one guy that makes comertials and stuff for the radio. he can change his voice to sound like whatever. he is way cool too. i believe if we can get the members involved with these cool people that we found that they can get baptized this upcoming month. so it was a good week this week. the zone is down in baptisms this month so we are trying to pump everyone up. so that is all that has gone on this week. oh they celebrated their independence this week so there was a bunch of parties this week. oh also we taught this little girl that is 8 her mom is a member and she wants to be baptized and she is one of the smartest little girls i have ever taught. she told us. me and my family used to go to church but i didnt like it because they dont even have a prophet. it was pretty funny. but that is all that went on this week. me and my comp are working hard and trying to get our investigators all ready for baptism. i know that baptism without the authority of god doesnt count for anything no matter how someone is sincere about it. that is why we have to talke to everyone about the gospel because without it they cant enter the kingdom of god. when we talk to someone we dont have anything to lose but we have everything to gain if they accept it. i know that this is the true church and there is no other church upon the earth that has the authority of god. we talked to a guy yesterday that told us that he just started to go to a christian church and said a apostle came to speak at this church. i asked him where did he recieve his authority to be a apostle. he didnt know and he let us in to teach him. he told us he is going to ask this guy where he got his authoriy. i wish i can see his face when he askes him. haha. i have been learning alot about the gathering of isreal. there are alot of promises that are being fulfilled right now. it is cool to be apart of this gathering. thanks for all you do for me. keep up the good work in all you do. but yes i want new shoes. get me brown echoes. i wear 10 or 9 and a half. but yeah i need some new shoes. but i love you lots. elder hancock
