Franco, Matthew

Dear friends and family,  This week has been an incredible week! Got to say hi to my family this week and teach a lot of people the gospel! I'm super excited for general conference this coming weekend! I always love hearing from the prophet and apostles. Our mission president gave us some tips to help us prepare for conference. Study and prayer are the big tips that stood out. By praying and study, the holy ghost will allow us to receive some inspiration and prepare to listen with full intent. I'm also excited to share this time with our investigators.  Sincerely, Elder Franco

Dear family and friends,  Happy early birthday Mimi! Love you!  Hope you have a great day! As for this past week, I have been doing good and have been moving forward. We found a new person this past week! Her name is Brandice and she is super nice and wants to learn more. Also another cool thing that happened this week is that church is slowly returning to normal. It's back to two hours so we are excited to talk with more of the ward. To close this letter, mimi, your amazing! Thank you for all the hugs and candy you have given me all these 18 years. I'm so happy and glad you are a part of my life! Sincerely, Elder Franco

Dear Elder Franco,     Your letters always bring a smile to my face! Sorry to hear about Marissa not being ready, but I will keep praying for her. That is exciting news that you have been doing bible study with Adrienne. Birthday week is going to be a crazy week for me haha. I sure am going to miss celebrating with you this year in person. Is there a place I can buy a cake for you? I will talk to you soon. Love you tons!     Sincerely, Mom

Dear family and friends,     This is not about the original assignment sorry 🤣🤣. Not this week but starting next week is Franco Birthday Week!      Starting with my wonderful Aunt Mimi! She is an amazing woman and I am happy she's my Aunt ! Next is Me but the big finale is my awesome brother Nik! Nik you are an awesome guy, and I'm proud to be your big bro! I think you're going to have a great time with your friends!     As for me, I plan on buying a cake but we will see what the rye boiiz has planned for me. A little bit of sad news is that Marissa dropped us. We found out that she wasn't ready yet. But the great news is that we found a new person! Her name is Adrienne and she likes to do Bible Studies with us.     I hope all of you the best and I can't wait to hear from all of you!     Sincerely, Elder Franco

Dear family and friends,  This week has been a great week! Kicking off strong with finding two new people and one who wants to get baptized. We had ward conference yesterday and the talks that were given were amazing! We had fun last night when we played together in unstable unicorns, that game is amazing, highly recommend you try it. We also had a great exchange with the zone leaders and were able to get on the Facebook grind. My scripture of the week is john 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." I love this Scripture so much because truly when we turn to christ, we find peace and I want to share that with everyone I can find and talk to. Love you all! Sincerely, Elder Franco 

Dear family and friends,  The month of February has come and gone and this month is going to be exciting. The district is fired up and ready as ever to progress and give it their all.

Then me on the 25th and finally my awesome little Bro Nik on the 27th! I'm excited for you two and I wish you a happy birthday. Today we are going shopping and playing games with the district. Can wait to talk to you guys later today. Sincerely,  Elder Franco
