Hello my dear wonderful family,
It looks like you guys hooped it up at davis´ bday party. I love hearing from you guys and thank you for being so wonderful:)Well it has been kind of a ordinary week here on the mish. Sorry that i dont really have much to report. Only one thing. This week we had a training and interviews with president ghent and it was awesome. Its cool to see how revelation works through the leaders here on the mission. We only had a short training on how we should invite people to be baptised. Our mission has a goal to invite the people always in the first lesson. So he taught how we can do that specifically. We are going to start teaching the doctrine of christ in the end of every lesson. There are many chapters in the book of mormon that talks about it but for example in 3 nephi 27 it talks about faith, repentense, baptism, gift of the holy ghost, and enduring to the end. So we have been applying what we learned from this training this week and you know it has been working out a lot and we have been having a lot more spiritual experiences. I think it is because we are follow the voice of our leader who recieves revelation for the mission. It was exactly what we needed. So Leonela if finally getting married tomorrow;) we are super excited for her considering she has been waiting for like 4 months now to do this so that she can get baptised. I am so happy for her;)
This next week that is coming up is changes so we will see what happenes. If me and my companion stay together. Or who goes or stays. Its crazy how fast this last five weeks have just flown by. I cant help but wonder that the next last ones will just go by before we know it. I love the mission and for this chance to meet so many wonderful poeple here. Lets just say i feel like i have a better perspective on life and i am pumped to see what is instore for the future. My dear family i just want you to know that i know this church is true. I dont know how many times i have told you that but it is true. I know that families are fooooooreeeevvvver hahaha and this is just amazing to me. I feel so blessed to be part of this family and i simpy just love you guys! Well Ive got to go.
LOVE Hna Wilhelm XXOOxxooxOXXOOxoxO

Hollllllaa! Como le va mi querida familia!!! I love you all so much it makes me so happy to hear from you all and about your lives. Well it has been another week in the mission like usual we have been searching new people and found 1 this week. We found a brother named Jovani Abril through contacting. He seems very prepared to hear the gospel and wants to change his life. In our lesson with him he told us about an experience that he had that makes him want to change his life. About three months ago Jovani went drinking with some friends and became very intoxicated when he was walking home he was going up some stairs someone stabbed him in the arm and took all of his money. He had barely made it home before he fainted from lose of blood. He said that he thought that his life was good and that he had good friends but he said that he didnt have friends when he really needed them. So now he is super willing to listen and learn because he wants to change his life. It is always neat to find someone that is actually look for a way to change there lives. Well i told you guys about roberto last week he is doing good. He is progressing little by little but surely. I love this gospel and the message of the atonement of Jesus Christ. I know that there is power behind this message because it is absolutely true. Christ and our dear heavenly father lives. I know that they love us too:) Well sorry that this will be kind of short this week. Just know that i love you all so very much and that i am so excited to see you in a couple of months:) Love hna wilhelm

Hellllooo!! Hows it going? Well it was a great treat to hear from you all this week. I love my family! I am so happy to hear that mom and dad are all moved and in their new house. That is so wonderful....also that i dont have to help witht hte food storage:) Well it has been a pretty good week here on the mission. We have been searching more people and you know we have seen miracles.
We found a hermano named Roberto who is absalutely awesome. The story about how we found him is kind of funny. Me and my companion had contacted an older man a couple weeks ago as we were walking to one of our appointments. We asked him if we could go teach him and his wife in his house but he wouldnt have none of that so we just invited him to general conference thinking that we would never see him again. Well the weekend of general conference went by and we didnt see him. But on wedsnday we were walking in the same neighborhood and this old man came runining after us and calling us. We stopped and he said can you guys come teach me in my house today. We were like of course. He seem super excited to hear us. So we went to his house later that day. His wife wasnt there so we could go inside without another adult women present. He was like ok than ran to three or four neighbors homes and found an older lady to be in the lesson with us. We get in his house then he said ok i would like to do two things. There were like four nonmembers there him, his two sons, and his neighbor. He said First i want the gringa to read an english book out lound and we will record it. (He is an english teacher for kids) Then second i would like you hna wilhelm to teach your message in english then you companion can translate it into spanish. We were like haha wait wait wait i can do this small service and read this book but we are hear to teach a very important message not only so that you can hear a gringa speak english. I read the book. Then me and my companion started a lesson of like normal like wiht a hymn and pray. The only person that was really listening and seemed interested was roberto the son of this hermano that we found in the street. The other son seemed very stand offish and wouldnt even touch our bible...he would only read from the catholic bible which is basically the same thing. And the neighbor lady was just nice to be there so that we could teach a lesson. In the end we were happy to have the lesson because roberto wanted to keep learning and the next day in a lesson he excepted a baptismal date. He also went to church. I am just happy that we followed the spirit and we found a new investigator.
It is crazy how fast the time is flying i cant believe that in december i will be home. It will be wonderful to see all of your beautiful faces again. I love you. Love herman wilhelm
