How is everyone doing? Sorry there is no title. Hope all is well and you are all keeping the commandments! Last pday we went and saw the jade museum in san jose which was really cool. Elder Oliva has been sick so we have not left a lot this week. We have still seen success and are excited for a lot of our friends that are progressing! They just need to come to church again! Transfers are coming up so we are preparing a lot for those!  Spiritual thought: D&C 84:45-47  45 For the word of the Lord is truth, and whatsoever is truth is light, and whatsoever is light is Spirit, even the Spirit of Jesus Christ. 46 And the Spirit giveth light to every man that cometh into the world; and the Spirit enlighteneth every man through the world, that hearkeneth to the voice of the Spirit.  - Elder Kirby Photos 

Hey everyone! How is everything? Hope all is well and you are always reading your scriptures! Lets get into a bit of what's happened this week! Last  pday  was normal, we went and  got  lunch with the district and then tried to come back to play soccer but it started raining. We had to go to a lot of zone conferences because president discovered how much he like the lapel microphone so we get to go set it up for every single conference. Lots of ubers. In los anonos we keep finding a lot of people that are super interested in the gospel but don´t want to go to church. Guillermo is a friend that we found about a week ago and is almost all the way to 2nd nephi! He told us that if he receives an answer from God that its true he will be baptized! The 15th was cool! It was independence day here and there was a ton of parades. We saw almost all of our friends there and none came to church because they said they were too tired to go to...

Good afternoon everyone! Hope everything is going well and you are always reading your scriptures! This week let's start off with a spiritual thought!  Alma 37:44-45," For behold, it is as easy to give heed to the word of Christ, which will point to you a straight course to eternal bliss, as it was for our fathers to give heed to this compass, which would point unto them a straight course to the promised land." 45: " And now I say, is there not a type in this thing? For just as surely as this director did bring our fathers, by following its course, to the promised land, shal the words of Christ, if we follow their course, carry us beyond this vale of sorrow into a far better land of promise."  I love these scriptures and we share them a lot! If we give heed to the word of Christ, which we find many times in the scriptures, will point us directly to eternal bliss and to the promised land. If we are ever in a vale of sorrow, the words of Christ will lead us out an...

Hey everyone! How is everything? Hope you are all going well and are growing your testimonies! Last pday we rented out an indoor soccer field and had all of the zone playing and it was a ton of fun! We also found a ton of fake Jordans and Nikes in downtown San Jose that are super super cheap and I'll definitely be going back. We did have cambios but nothing changed here in the office! We will see what happens with this next transfer! This week has been crazy with leadership counsel and transfers! Both within 2 days of the other. So planning those 2 out was quite interesting. The work has been fine, we have everyone tell us yes to coming to church and we call them in the morning and they say they're on their way but never show up, so it's a bit tiring. We got to hug a drunk guy who kept calling us the f word and thought that we were going to pull a gun on him, but he was very pura vida.  But all is good here! Love you all!  - Elder  Kirby Phot...
