Hello everyone!!

I hope you all have had a great week. Its been a pretty good week out here. A usual missionary week, full of good things and frustrating things, and happy moments and sad moments. We were able to find a new investigator this week, we also dropped that new investigator later this week. so that was fun. haha. We also had an appointment with another person we are teaching that we planned on dropping that she just wasn't showing full interest. Well then we got in there and were trying to see if we could get things to go somewhere and they did!! so that was a nice surprise!! I was super excited to realize that she is ready to be taught and that we were able to have such a wonderful experience with her and feel the spirit as we taught her. It was pretty cool because she was talking all about her beliefs and they are basically what we believe, i don't think she realizes that. Its kinda funny, so we told her that and asked her to let us teach her more and she was alright with it!

Later this week we went to the Visitors Center with Rae, who is getting baptized on Saturday! It was such a great visit. She is so strong and so ready for baptism its just way exciting! She has a wonderful spirit and has been making changes in her life to prepare her for baptism! The spirit was strong as we were at the visitors center together! I am so excited for Saturday to see her that wonderful day she gets baptized, i know she will be GLOWING!!! We also have been praying so hard that she would find a place to move into our area, because she lives like an hour away, and MIRACLES happen, she found a home, and she is going to be moving in this week before her baptism! haha. Last minute, but all that counts is she is in our area! haha.

We have had lots of good things happen this week! It has been great! I also found out a family that i was a part of teaching, the dillons in junction city are getting endowed and sealed on Saturday. So i called up Pres Keyes and asked his permission to go! He said he would think about it and get back to me, and then he gave me the go ahead! So Saturday is going to be the best birthday EVER!! I am going to see a wonderful amazing family get sealed in the temple, i am getting to go to the temple for the first time in over a year. and there will be a baptism! Just lots of AWESOME STUFF!!! I am just lucky my birthday is on a Saturday this year so i get to be so lucky to have all these things happen. haha.
