Hello family!
This week we saw miracles. We had 6 investigators come to church and it was so great to see them progress. The Lord works wonders in our lives as missionaries. Also on a stranger note, we were walking through a jungle in our sector and out of nowhere a wild pack of dogs comes chasing after us. I might have fallen down a small mountain... but we did escape unbitten! So that was nice :) ha ha things happen here that are just adventurous. I love my companions and the work is going along great. We are waiting for a baptism this weekend and I’m really happy that the Lord has his angels lifting us up. I’m doing great, flea bitten, but not dog bitten, so I can’t complain. :) Pray always that you may come off conquerer yea, that you may conquer satan.

Elder Allen's letter:
Hey everybody hope you're all doing well. The coast is great for the work and the weather. The Lord has blessed us so much here to be able to find so many people to teach and baptize. In other news, I almost got bit by a dog yesterday and I'm surprised that I didn't but now I'm all paranoid that I'm going to get bit. I'm always feeling like a dog is coming right behind me to bite me. Anyway the Savior loves you all and I hope you guys have a great week!
Elder Allen
Hey mom good to hear from you, I'm doing good, just working hard here with my companions, it's going great! The weather has been great here too, but the weather is always great on the coast. I hear that I have a package coming in this Wednesday but I have no idea who it's from, but I'm guessing it's from you. I'm pretty sure I'll be staying here in San Antonio for the rest of my mission but we will have to see how that goes, Whatever the Lord wants I will do, and to tell you some exciting news, The zone did amazing this last week on the mission work, we had a very high church assistance , we have lots of people preparing to be baptized and we doing a lot of teaching so that means a lot of people are progressing towards being saved. Anyway I know the Lord lives and loves us. He wants us to be happy and we can if we keep his commandments. I love you so much mom and I can't wait to see you soon. Have a good week!
