HELLO!!!!!!!!! How are ya???

 

I am great! This week has been a good one.   We are finding more people to teach, which is such a good thing!  There is a family that I am really excited about.  We were riding our bikes and they were outside so we started talking to them.  They said that their son loves reading the Book of Mormon--and it turns out that he was baptized a little over a year ago.  So we are teaching his parents and they are really open to the message:) Hope that they will start reading the Book of Mormon and coming to church. There names are J** and B** and they are so sweet! We are going to go over and paint their fence one day--I am excited for that! But we have had lots of little things going on and it has been really fun to see the every day little miracles. 

 

Recently we have been doing a lot of work in our english ward, which is great...but then again it makes the spanish a bit hard to learn.  But anyway, there are lots of part member families and inactive members and potential investigators that members have been asking us to go visit.  Right now we are only actively teaching 1 person in that ward...if everything goes like we have planned (ha!) then by the end of the week we should have 7 investigators.  So we will go forward with faith behind our goal and see how it turns out :D

 

Here is the random...and kind of gross story for the week.   So it is super fun to go scorpion hunting at night with black lights.  The scorpions have a green glow and it is super freaky.  But our district leader told us that if you catch a scorpion and put a ring of hand sanitizer around it and light the ring on fire, then the scorpion gets freaked out and stings itself.  Well, being sheltered like we missionaries are thought this sounded like fun...haha.  So we went and found our scorpion and we caught it in a jar....honestly I feel a little bad about it, poor thing! But any way.  We put the ring of fire around it and fire ring was pretty small...and the scorpion just caught on fire and burned to death.  I feel like an awful person! haha, but not really...it was just a scorpion.  So our little experiment didn't work.....I am thinking that these elders are planting really strange ideas in my head, haha :)

 

Well anyway.  There you have it. Lots of missionary work and a story about a scorpion.  I love you all lots and hope you have a super good week!!!!!!
