Dear family and friends and loved ones,
We are hosting the Valdez Elders today and they will be staying in our apartment for 2 days. It's gonna be fun. My mission, we
have been really busy with appointments and lessons. Last P day we played glow in the dark capture the flag and it was sweet, we did it as a
zone.
I got my License a couple days ago it all came down to one question, a do or die situation, and my knowledge prevailed with a little help
from a prayer. I got my license and it's sweet because now I can drive!
It's been getting lighter here which is awesome! Miracles happen with obedient missionaries. So me and Elder Garver went Tracting we went to an apartment complex, while there we thought maybe we should not be here but Elder Garver said No lets stay. So we stayed. We knocked a couple doors and by this time we are tired and with no success. We tried one more door, a guy opened the door then said come in and we looked at each other and were like ok. He was a member but his wife was not, apparently she had prayed that day and asked for direction, then we came!! WOW! We talked and talked, we found out that out of their 17 years of marriage she never accepted missionaries to talk with her. Her husband wants to be sealed so badly. She sat down listened to us then she opened up saying she is shocked her prayer worked, then at the end she asked for a blessing, we said yes and gave her one. She was again in shock after the blessing and wanted us to come back so she could listen more!! When then found out she is not in our area! DARN!!! We planted a seed for other missionaries. I love how the work goes on here.
This week has been super. I love you all!
