Ola todo mundo,

Well wow this is my last monday email on my mission.... Can you believe it? I'm getting pretty stoked to come home now. Every night I seem to have dreams about it ha ha weird. And this is my last week on Marta's Vineyard.... it's crazy. Anyways just thought you all should know ha ha. This week was pretty freaking good. We haven't been able to meet with Eliezar and Simone due to the fact they are working about 60 hours a week and its not even their "busy" time so ha ha looks like we wont be meeting with them anymore :( So there is your update on them. We haven't been able to teach anyone for awhile but we decided that instead of knocking on empty doors all day long we might as well do some service. So Elder Horrocks and I went around and got ourselves a service for every day of them week that we are on island.. except for mondays. It's pretty awesome. I love doing service because you can see the fruits of your labors ha ha ha. We do service in the Hospital on Tuesday and Wednesdays, help replace books in the library on Thursdays, we're off island for Friday, then on Saturdays we go help Habitat for Humanity build houses. It is awesome and we are meeting tons new people this way while were out working. We went and did our service for Habitat this last Saturday and it was seriously the best day. I loved building the house. I get to help and I'm learning new "skills" :) Other then that a lot of our members are off island so its most just the men here. So because their wives are gone, we have gone out to eat a lot this last week and this week we'll be going a lot as well because it's my last week. And the restaurants here are good so I'm not complaining :) Changing subjects we had about 50 people in church this last week because of the visitors (members visiting the island, Not non-members). I guess one of them yesterday said they live in A.F and that if I go to the single adult ward, I'll meet in their building.... small world huh. And Elder Horrocks and I got to teach Gospel Doctrine again and it was so much fun. I love teaching and studying for the lesson. It was a great week :) excited to hook up a different missionary with things to do here when I leave and excited to see you all in 11 days.

I love you all
eu amo todos voces

com amor,
