Happy veterans day! Lots of crazy neat things going on lately! It has been an awesome week.

First of all, we had exchanges on wednesday and I went to chandler! It was so fun, I loved being in a new area and having new experiences. The coolest thing was that we got to go see Aunt R and Uncle C! Hermana P had a referral that she needed to contact just down the road from them so we stopped in and paid a visit. It was so fun to see them and get a Hug :) Happy day!

 

We are still teaching E, I love her so much! We have been trying to help her recognize the spirit lately, and she never quite got it and never understood what it felt like. Well last night we tried to extend a baptismal date again....but it did quite work. BUT, it did get her talking a lot about how she felt about everything. She said that she feels so good inside when we come over and when she came to church she felt peace and just felt content. Well, we told her that that was the spirit. When we said that, you could see the light bulb go on, she was so happy to make that connection that she has felt the spirit working in her life. It was a VERY cool moment that was much needed :) Her and her family are getting ready to move, it is still close, hopefully it is still in our area but it could be in the Elders area too. So we will have to see how that works out.

 

The lesson with LL went really good. It was really hard to get a word in and actually teach because everyone else that was there wanted to say things. But towards the end we got to teach and share somethings with her, it ended up being really good. Happy day!

Something random....every monday we wash the car. Today it was so cold that the water froze! Isn't this arizona? Crazy! But we washed the car anyway and played with the icy soap. Haha. It has been so cold lately, haha. I wasn't quite expecting that.

 

Also, this last weekend was stake conference, actually they had a regional conference for all the 95 stakes in Arizona. Happy day! They had a broadcast and Elder Holland and President Eyring spoke. It was so good, a little mini general conference! Elder holland spoke a lot about missionary work and how the lord is hastening His work. He invited the members to do more to help the missionaries get lessons (we LOVED that part :). President Eyring spoke about being optimistic and pressing forward in the work of the Lord and being bold. I absolutely loved it! I will have to tell you more about it later, my notes are at home.
