Hello there Mom and Dad! let me say this is going to be an awesome transfer! my companion is so cool  and were having a blast together! It's going to be a transfer filled with miracles! we are working our booties off! and its going to pay off.  There's a lot going on in this area right now and there's definitely more to come! we have a couple baptism dates already and we will be picking up more this coming week! the ward is so awesome the people there remind me of home! they are so loving and very welcoming to a new missionary at first I wasn't sure about this area but I definitely love it here in Maidstone and Ive only been here half a week! Elder Fawson and I tried this thing called preset knocking! where we put fliers through peoples doors and tell them when we will be knocking again so when we go back they are waiting for us :) I'm very excited to see what comes of it! were also doing a thing called smile boarding , where you walk around with a whiteboard with a smile on it and ask people what makes them smile and eventually get talking about the gospel! new exciting ways to find people! I'm so excited for this area to be with Elder Fawson he is the best. We work hard , he understands me , we have the same humor haha but most of all we work hard!  Today is Halloween and we have to be in at a certain time because over here Halloween gets really dodgy and a lot of bad things happen so we will definitely be having a chill night tonight! well i think that's all for now i love you guys so much thanks for all you do for me! you keep me going!  elder armijo

Hello there everyone! this week has been so amazing . A very successful week compared to the past few weeks! but I knew the lord would bless us for working hard.
we've found so many new people this week. were teaching this lady called Kristina and she has three little girls. She's golden and very very receptive to what we have to share with her shell be getting a baptism date this Friday so pray for her that she'll accept.
The other night we were knocking and we knocked at this door and no one answered then we started to walk away and this guy was getting things out of the back of his car so I went up and talked to him and told him about how families can be together forever he said he didn't know if he believed in god. I asked him why and he said skepticism. I said what if I had experiment you could do to KNOW god was there (Moroni 10:4-5) ? he replied that he would love to try it , and he invited us in .I testified to him for a good thirty minutes about how god exists and how he can know for himself. he invited us back over this week to teach him and his wife. it was an amazing experience!
Another great experience I had ,I was on the bus and behind me sitting were two Korean girls and one of them was talking about how she doesn't know the purpose to this life and where we go when we die and all the golden questions we as missionaries love to hear! The spirit was punching me in my soul to talk to this girl so we got off at her bus stop and my companion was a little confused but I didn't have time to tell him why.  I ran after the girl and told her what we do as missionaries and she wanted answers we told her we could answer all her questions. She gave us her details and were going back this week to teach her and her family. this week is another testimony builder to me .  I know God is preparing people to receive the gospel and that he is putting people in my path so I can talk to them! I'm so thankful for the spirit and how it guides and directs us to the things we need to be doing! I love this gospel with all my heart I know its true and the book of Mormon is he word of god I'm so thankful to be on my mission and I know this is where I'm supposed to be! I love you all !
