Q. Como les fue esta semana con la obra?
"Ammon said unto him: I am a man; and man in the beginning was created after the image of God, and I am called by his Holy Spirit to teach these things unto this people, that they may be brought to a knowledge of that which is just and true; And a portion of that Spirit dwelleth in me, which giveth me knowledge and also power according to my faith and desires which are in God."
Alma 18:34-35

Well, this past week we contacted a referral named S. R.. His sister and bro in law are members. He went to the temple open house and really seemed to like that. He accepted a soft commitment in our first lesson. He came to the church on saturday and we gave him a church tour. We invited him to be baptized on June 11 and he said it's very possible that he will that day. Then he saw a baptism. He said he was coming to church but he didn't show for some reason... We tried stopping by his place but he wasn't there. We are going to try to see him soon. This is our bike week and it's a bit far away. But, we are going to do what we can!
We are still teaching W. and H. the new member lessons. They are still doing great. I guess H. didn't come to church last week because she went to her boyfriend's (Z.'s) church. But, she did it so he would come to the right church yesterday They both showed up and it seemed like the majority of the messages were what he needed to hear. The Elder's quorum president seemed to change the plans when he saw Z.. He called on all of the converts to bear their testimony and conversion story. It was sweet! We are seeing the both of them this friday. We hope things progress with him!
Nothing happened with H.P. this week because of graduation and his Grandfather being in the hospital. But, we should be seeing him the last half of the week
Hey dad I met sister Barrett from your mission. She is the mom of Sister Place who just finished her mission. She was a transfers and she tapped me on the shoulder and said, "I served with your dad". I was a bit confused for a moment then she said, "We both served in the same mission!" So, I was just letting you know that I met her!
Oh, Elder Sexton is one of my Zone Leaders now. We went on an exchange and I was with Elder Sexton for the day
Well, I think that's everything for the week. Have a great week and I love Y'all!!!
Love,
Elder Barry Kreyling

Hola familia,
Hey just so you know I've had to sign on as a guest again. They computer I signed on first was being super slow. I can only use my library card once a day here. So, I'm singed on as a guest which means I have less time again. So, to make sure I use less time I'm going to answer your questions in english this week.
Ok, well for this week we had some really great stuff happen and the tornados also. H's baptism went great. She went to the rededication of the temple. She is basically awesome! This week was a bit crazy so those are our main highlights.
I'll be sending a couple of cds. I'll send you a letter with the things that I would like because I really don't have much time. I love y'all!!!! XOXOXOXO
Q. What did you do the night of the tornado?
A. We made shelters inside of our apartment. I took pictures and I'll be sending the memory card soon. Our spanish ward mission leader brought us some dinner. President Griffin gave us permission to listen to the weather on the radio. I think I heard that the tornado passed through the northern most part of the county that we are in. Crazy!
Q. Did you hear or see anything about the mess the tornados caused?
A. Yes. The day after the tornados we had a zone conference in Ooltewah. On the way there and back we passed through Ringold and it was pretty messed up. We took pictures of the damage that we saw.

A. I think I told you a little about him. But, we are towards the end of the new member lessons. He's still doing great with everything.
Q. Como les va con las clases de Ingles gratis?
A. It was canceled because of the storms. We are going to try again this wednesday.
Q. Do you have any idea at about what time you’ll be calling next Sunday?
A. I don't know for sure. After two because that's when church is over.
Q. Que ha pasado con C.?
