This is our chapel.


Me and my companion today...
Yes, I know, I need a hair cut. The barber shop was closed today :(

Hey Everyone,

Well its extremely hot. I'm sweating so bad right now, and its really hard to concentrate. I've lost 4 pounds in the past 10 days since I've gotten here. But its a good thing because I've slowly been gaining weight since I got here on the mission.

This week was really, really awesome. We found 2 families, where one of the parents is a less active member of the church, and the other parent isn't a member. And both of the families have children that need to be baptized! The only thing is that both of the families need to get married first. So we are trying to help them get the money to get married, and get everything all planned out.

So these past couple weeks I've been reading the Book of Mormon alot. During our study time, and during any down time that we have during the day. I'm getting towards the end already, probably this week I will finish the book. But this has been an incredible experience reading it again. I know for a fact that this book is true. It brings me so much happiness in my life, and Its amazing to see how it moves the lives of all the people that start reading it and applying the things that they learn in their lives. I am so grateful for the opportunity that I have to be a member of the Only True Church on the Earth. The original church that Jesus Christ established when he was here on the earth was restored, along with all the authority, ordinances, and teachings. I'm so grateful to know that my family is going to be together forever. Every day that I read the Book of Mormon my testimony of these things grows. I'm so grateful that I can share these truths with other people and help them change their lives. I love being a missionary!!!

Thanks for all the love and support!
Elder Schoen
