boy we have been busy. we were on exchanges pretty much the entire week. i love exchanges its liek the prime time to witness miracles. and we saw a few.

well elder castro one of the missionaries serving in the portugese branch came to my area with me and we had a blast. hes a convert of less than two years from brazil and he straight up taught me so dang much. he has a huge tesitmony and just helped me realize how special even the littlest of things are. he has such an enthusiasum for the gospel and its contagious. its wonderful to just talkk to him. well while we were busy tearing it up tracting we knocked on this guys door named carlos garcia when we first met him we were shocked at how prepared he really was. he had all the golden questions that every missionary wants to be asked and so we were so excited when he told us to come back. as we went back and were teaching him we came to find out that he had been taught by missionaries before and that explains why he knew so much. i guess before when he was being taught he just wasnt ready but as of now he is ready and wants to learn and progress in the gospel. super pumped to see where he goes. god is preparign people that is for dang sure.

we went and saw gloria this week who is a recent convert in the ward and she has luekemia and had to go to new york but got sent back because she got really sick. she has such a kind heart and cant come to church becuase the kids and she cant risk getting sick right now and so we go over and tell her what was talked about at church. she loves it. but the best part is the young men. we take a couple young men with us to give her the sacrament and she cries and loves it everytime. it was really cool too because the youngmen were not to happy that they had to do it after church rather than going home but they did it and she like was crying and bore her testimony to them about how greatful she is and how important the sacrament is and their responsibiility in bringing it. she was so greatful for them coming the spirit was so strong and when we left those boyus had an entire different outlo0ok on why they were there. it was so great.

Elder hales goes home next week. sad day. there are a lot of missionaries that are going home next week that are some of my best friends. missionaries that i have looked up too and now they are all leaving.. sad day.

i love you all. be safe. remember who you are.

this week was really good. it flew by way to fast that is for dang sure. latley things have been way tough here in roswell we find p-eople to teach but then we can never get back in to acatually teach them. and or people just have not been home this week. but the lord has really blessed us we may not have had as much success as we wouldve liked but the little miracles that we were abe to see were so great. they made it all worth it.

i was able to go on exchange with elder barnett this last week and that was such a fun exchange. he is such a cool guy i love him so much. it was way cool because we got a long way well could really work hard but had so much fun doing it too. we taught in unison really well together. it was great. he is a dang good missionary. he is a born leader and has one of the strongest desires to do good and be the best missionary he can be.

thsi week while we were out tracting we were haveing no succes one day it seemed that out of 100 doors maybe 3 opened but we kept going having the faith something would come and just when we were about to turn around we knocked on this door of a hindu guy named ravi and he let us in and talked with us and we were able to share the restoration with him and he was so excited as we talked he said to us that he could not deny the book of mormon that even as we just talked about it he knew it was true and was so eager to read it. he accepted baptism and wanted tto come to church sadly he ws not ablt to come to church this week he was faced with some big car troubles but he is eagerly looking forward to next week.

we also were able to meet with this guy we are starting to teach his name is henry and he is a cool down to earth guy from alabama. he has a good heart and a strong desire to follow christ. the cool thing is he recognizes that he has a lot to work on and that he is not perfect and that he can improve. he has some things that he knows are wrong and he really has a desire to beat them to really fully align his will with gods and be the best deciple he can be. i am way excited to see how he progresses and how things go with him.

i love you all!! stay classy!

Holy smokes this week really flew by without me even taking time to stop and breath. i feel like it went by in the blink of an eye. well on tuesday was zone meeting so we were in charge of that and so that kept us busy and it turned out to be pretty fun and we had some really good trainings. also that day while the meeting was going on president benion came and had interviews with every missionary in our zone. he started interviews at 7:30 in the morning and he did not even finish until arounf 3:30 it made for a long day for him i can imagine but he really wants to get to know everyone the best he can. he is such a nice guy. i love talking to him. hes so down to earth and can be so serious at the same time its hard to explain. fun fact he was cosmo the cougar at BYU when he ws there. so you know he is a goofball too. love him hes bringing a whole lot to this mission.

sorry its so short. i don tknow much to report on we have been super busy this last week finding amazing people who are super prepared and then we come to find out that they live out fo our boundaries and we end up having to pass them a long to other missionaries. its good that they are ready and getting the gospel but its no fun passing someone that you want to teach to the next set of missionaries.

i love you all the lord is working miracles and i am loving this work. it absolutley terrifies me that i just hit a year i feel like its been a week. just means i need to work harder. i love you all and thank you for the support you all give me. be yourself and stay classy look for your own opportunities to serve others around you.

it has been a great week full of some amazing miracles. well on the 4th of july i didnt get to see any fireworks but when we got to our apartment for the night we were getting things out o0f the car and this lady walked up to us and was like are you who i think you are and we were like who do you think we are. she read our name tags and was like YES you are. she started talking to us and we had a good conversation on the atonement and the spirit was so strong. ritght when we were talking to here she got a phone call and had to leave so we gave her a book of mormon and our number as she was walking away and thats all we could do so we just hoped that she would call us. well the next day she did!!! and she wanted us to stop by sunday morning. she gave us her address and she lives just outside our area..... no bueno. but we went and taught her that morning and it went so great. she loved the message of the restoration and wanted to learn more. then we told her that we didnt cover the area that she lived in but that other missionaries like us could come back. so we gave her their number and right when we left her house she called the missionaries in that area and she went to church with them that day. she is so awesome and loved church. so happy about that even if we arent teaching her.

also there was a baby blessing at church last week and the family that was blessing a baby invited someone to come to the blessing and he showed up and we were not able to talk to him at church but we actually ended up tracting in to him this week and he was so happy to see us. we taught him the restoration and came to find out that his daughter is a member in africa he wants to be baptised and is so willing to learn. its just amazing to see how great the lord is and how he is providing miracle after miracle for us to witness. as we show our faith he shows that we can put our faith in him.

we met the new mission president this last week. he is such a cool guy. he is so loving and caring you can feel that love that he has for all of us already. it is very different than the wolferts our last mission president but defiantly in a good way. the benions bring their own things to this mission and it is really going to help this mission do great things. i am so happy to have them here.

i am loving life. doing great. sorry this didnt come yesterday we had big problems trying to find a working computer. i love you all.

well to start things off we have a new mission president. our previous one president wolfert went home on saturday and president benion is here now. i am sad to see president wolfert leave but super pumped to meet elder benion and see whwt he will bring to the mission. we get to meet him on wednesday he is coming and we are having a firseide like thing with him to kind of show himself off to us.

well we had transfers this last week i am serving in the rosewell ward. i really love the ward. they make me feel at home. the people here are way cool and seem like a lot of fun and are so willing to help us out i am way excited to see how this transfer is going to go. Elder Hales my new comp is so cool. he is from central utah a big boy hes way big into baseball and football. and its funny he wants to go into electrical when he gets home so we have a lot in common with eachother. i love him already we have a lot of fun and get a lot work done. very hard worker so i am loving it. he goes home in 6 weeks at the end of this transfer so i got to keep him going hard.

this last week we were teaching this guy named chet and he is way cool adn as we have taught him his girlfriend has been tthere but she doesnt really listen she just is off doing her own thing. but we found out that she really hs been listening after all. she told us how she had been reading the book of mormon and she got to this part where she just couldnt put it down. so while she was driving home she was reading it (not safe at all). anyway she ended up getting lost and she had no clue where she was at. ans as she drove down this road she almost turned around a couple times but something just told her not to turn around and as she kept going and then she came to a road and just got a feeling to take the next left so she did and when she took the next left she turned right into the temple. she said she realized it and jsut started to cry. she knew the lord was aware of here and he loved her and the lord led her there. needless to say she is so down to hear the lessons now and has been sitting in on the lesson with us and actaully participating. so fetching cool.

love you all. stay classy! be yourself and love the lord.

hello to all reading this.

sunday was a pretty great adventure. we finally got someone at church and she loved it. between us 3 sets of missionaries in the ward we all had a total of 7 people at church it was great. it was like guiding cattle though as we had to help them all to the right classes and make sure they didnt get lost. luckily the ward is pretty great and helped us and they all made some good friends.

well i learned to play rugby and goodness that is a fun one. thats what we have done for p day today it sure is a blast but that is a mans sport. we only play two hand touch for all of you worrying about injuries.

there is this place in our area i absolutley love going to. so we live in the city of norcross. but there is a place in the downtown its the historic norcross. and it is like all these really older houses that people have really taken care of and the whole city is very popular its just way fun to walk around there and there are always a lot of people there. they are always having these nice community events almost every week so it stays busy we meet a lot of very nice people and a lot of very interesting people. haha they have all these signs around the whole city that give historic information about the city. its way cool.

i love yall as always. be safe.

this week we have finally seen the fruits of our labors. we have really been trying to find people to teach and we have been following up on formers and people we contact ourselves. but we went and followed up on a former investigator that was in the area book from like 2005 and it was in an apartment compleex and so im not saying we were doubting but it didnt seem very likely that she would be there still. but when we did she was there and we were able to get in a teach her and she was nice but she ended up not really progressing this last week but her daughter who was younger and gone in 2005 when she first got the lessons but now she was so prepared and so excited about everything we shared with her. you could see the spirit swell up in her and work his magic.

we had started getting a good teaching pool but then it seemed all at once they all kind of dropped us. but hey that is missionary work and so there time will come they arent ready at this time but the seed has been planted and missionaries in the future will have some good work to do.

this last couple weeks i have real;ly been thinking about how the lord uses us. and how he has the power to do all things and that without him we cant do anything especially in missionary work. i have been going through the book of mormon and finding all the times that the prophets say that they were "instruments in gods hands" because truly we are only instruments he uses. we can not force someone to feel the spirit or we cant convince anyone of truth cant convince anyone the book of mormon is true and that there is a prophet on the earth but we can tell them these things and then the spirit is what does the true work in testifying to them and confiriming the truth of the words we speak. its been a good thing to realize and no matter how hard i work that unless i invite the spirit in everything i do there is not much point to it. its such a great gift we have been giving to have the spirit in our lives to guide us and help us through all we do.

i love you all.i am doing so good. dont ever worry about me. there is no need for it. i am happy.

love Elder Trevor Ross
