Moses Lake is great. It is starting to get a little cooler, but it stills feels really nice here. There are a lot of farms here so that is what a lot of people do, especially the Mexicans. It seems like everyone either works in the campo (fields) or one of the factories. Elder Kurtz and I teach a lot of humble people. I love it. And it is nice because we speak a lot of spanish throughout the day. That has been a great blessing to me because it is helping me learn so much quicker.
So this week has been great. Earlier this week, I went on an exchange with the DL in his english area and that went really well. It was neat to see how the work differs for an english elder and a spanish elder. It makes me get excited for Mexico, where i can just talk to EVERYONE!!!!!! Speaking of Mexico, I haven't heard any word on the visa, so please continue to keep it in your prayers. But i know that it is all in the Lord's time. Back to this week, Elder Kurtz and I had two people commit to a baptism date on Spet 25!!!!!!!!!! It was awesome!! Their names are Sergio and Alicia. They have to get married first, so hopefully on Setp 18 that will happen and then the next week they can get baptized. It was sweet seeing someone commit to baptism. That covenant with the Lord is going to change their lives so much!!! So pray for them and that they will be ready for that day.
We also continued to teach Uriel. We have focused on the Word of Wisdom and taught him "15 Steps to Stop Smoking" workshop. It is something that the Church has put out and of all the people that really follow it, everyone has stopped. So he hasn't smoked since weds which is a miracle. It has been amazing to see him grow. He is curious about the church and really wants to learn more. He had to work this sunday, so he couldn't come to church, but he said he is going to come this Sunday. But it has really been cool to get to know Uriel and teach him.
My spanish is coming along. At times I get so frustrated because I can't understand and other times I can understand, but I don't know how to say what I want to say. But I realize I have only been learning for 2.5 months and I know that as I continue to study and work at it, the Lord will bless me with the gift of tongues and the gift of interpretation of tongues. Its a miracle that I know how much I know just after 2.5 months. I am speaking more and teaching more though. I have really been trying to try more and not worry if I am going to mess up. Because the more I try and make mistakes, the more I will learn. So like you said mom, line upon line, precept upon precept.
It sounds like everyone is doing well. I'm glad that you had a fun time up in DC with everyone. Have fun with Tiffany and Eli!! That will be a blast. Ryan, have a Happy Birthday this week!!! I hope that Erin and Kherington spoil you rotten!!!!! Thanks for all the prayers and the emails!!!!! Stay safe from Hurricane Earl!!

Con Amor,
Elder Glover
