Hello my cool family ! Sounds like this last week was pretty great! Also I am happy to hear the Utes are on another winning streak too bad for the Aggies also happy 29th wedding anniversary to the coolest most awesome parents ever! I am so grateful you two got married. I love you both and my family :) This week was a great week! It was a little slow at some points but other times it seemed like there just wasn't enough time to do all the things we needed or wanted to do. But all in all it was great ! Really funny / crazy tracking story. So we were knocking doors in this apartment complex and we knock this door and we hear this lady yell "who is it?" We say "the missionaries" and then the fun begins... Haha she opens the door, and it's like this old grandma and the first thing she says to us, in a rather harsh tone of voice is "where do you live?" And I am just like what? I am not telling this lady where I live. So we are just like "here in hermitage" and she goes "I know here in hermitage but where ?!" And I'm like.... Um "just down the street ?" And she is like "what is it called ?!" And I just am like "uh the colonnade apts ?" And it was just so weird. But we were able to talk with her and we tried to share a message but she just talked the whole time, but it was just so funny, but also a little terrifying... Oh another cool story ! So we were trying some potential investigators and we knocked on this duplex and the son answered the door and his mom comes to the door and is like "oh yes come in. Sit. Sit. " (ps they are from Vietnam) and they all like leave to the back room, and we are just like uhhhh where did they go? Haha but then the mom comes out with the 14 yr old daughter to talk with us because no one else speaks English really well. Anyway it was so cool and we totally were able to teach her. Her name is T and like is super open to the gospel. It was a really cool miracle :) Okay So our investigator Lupe is just so cool. We had a really cool lesson with him yesterday too ! He has now been coming to church for almost 7 weeks ! Last week we invited him to be baptized and he said he would but he felt like he really needed to pray about it. Well yesterday we were teaching him at our branch presidents house and we asked him about it.., he said yes he really wants to get baptized !!! Yahoo ! :) he said he feels like this is what is right for him. He said the only thing is, he feels like he really needs to talk to his parents about it, but I know that the Lord has a plan for him and that he will get baptized! This transfer ! I just know it ! Also, Jasieda gets baptized, TOMORROW ! I love this little girl so dang much. Tomorrow is her 8th birthday and all she wanted was to get baptized on her birthday. How sweet, right?! She has been counting down the days till her baptism :) yesterday she had her baptismal interview and man she is just so ready. We were filling out her baptismal record last night and were having her dad sign it since she is a minor, and he asked her "are you sure you want me to sign this so you can get baptized?" (Jokingly of course ) and she goes "um yes!!!" And he says "I'm not sure...." Then she replies "if you don't I will do it for you. I am getting baptized " ahhh it was so cute :) she is such an example to her family ! It will be a great day when her mom and dad get married and baptized as well :) the gospel is soooooo good !!! :) This next week is going to be so crazy but so much fun as well. We have so many things going on, it's ridiculous, but will at the same time be so fun. Oh and thank you SO much for sending me that dress. We have out big cultural fair on Friday and I am so excited to wear my dress estilo mexicano ! It will be a blast. All the missionaries are going to sing "Called to Serve" so that will be cool too :) I hope yall have a great week :) and a early HAPPY BIRTHDAY s/o to the best dad ever as well ! I hope you have a great day :) thanks for all you do for me. I am blessed to have such a great family ! And I am so grateful to be a missionary. Some days it's just so hard and all I want to do is sleep or cry. Or both , BUT it's so rewarding! It truly is amazing to be an instrument for the Lord. Love yall !
