Well I miss you all and hope all is well. OHHHHHHH..... before I forget!!!!!! I didn't know that heaven could fit in such a small package!!!!!! But you managed to do it!!!! I was so happy when I saw COFFEE CAKE!!!! haha. That ABSOLUTELY made my day, thanks for thinking of me:) It tasted SOOOO good:D true story
Well lets see, tons of good things this week! Transfers happen on Wednesday and we had transfer calls last night, and I am staying in the same place still with Hermana Taylor. I am super excited about that because I love it here. There are more cows and horses than people I am pretty sure (that is probably and exaggeration) but it is just great! We had a baptism for H** on Sunday and everything was so good! Happy day!
The most exciting thing is that our investigator E** came to church on SUNDAY! I was so excited I thought that my soul was going to burst! She came with her 2 youngest kids, they are such a great family:) If everything goes as planned, they are going to be baptized on the 27th, that will be such a great day! Her husband L** is such a great guy. He loves to have us over and sits his kids down in front of us so we can teach them, but he won't stay...I think he has been there for parts of 2 lessons but that is all. He is so great though, and the biggest miracle of all would be if her were baptized with his wife. It could happen :) Anyway, the longer I am here the more I am realizing that there are so many small miracles everyday that are SO amazing!
We were walking through an apartment complex in Gilbert yesterday, the person that we were going to go see wasn't there. So anyway, we saw this man pushing a stroller and so we talked to him. We said that we were missionaries, and he said that we had talked to his wife 2 weeks ago at Walgreen's (it was actually the other Spanish elders in our ward) There is lots of background to their story...but the overall point is that--we had no idea where they lived, at Walgreen's she said she was interested in family history and that she would call the missionaries back, she had tried to call the number and the answering machine was in English so she hung up, and then we all thought she fell off the face of the earth. But Heavenly Father knew where she was! Coincidentally we found her husband walking around Gilbert, I just love it :) Turns out she is in jail right now, but she gets out in a few days and she wants to change her life and take the lessons. So happy day, the Lord is always watching out for us :)
There is another story about someone we randomly found that the church has been looking for for about 5 years--Cool huh? Mom, I wrote the story in your letter, so you can share it if you like :) But basically, after her son was killed 8 years ago she fell away from the church. She pushed everything away and tried to cope with that hard trial by herself. Well that didn't work (surprise) and she is so heartbroken. But we knocked on her house just doing some tracting and she said that she was a member and she said her name and Hermana and I got so happy because the bishop had just told us that he had never met her. HAPPY DAY:) I just love seeing the Lord work in peoples lives, it is the COOLEST thing EVER!
I love you all, and hope you remember that. Thanks for the letters and packages:) LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!
