Dear Fam-Bam!!

Holy Toledo!! we had another kid! congrats to Cherise and Richard!! send pictures asap! And theres another one coming that will be so exciting! i cant believe how much time has gone by. This Wednesday marks my one year mark out on the mission! Everyone was right time does just whiz on by, and continues to go by faster and faster! i hardly know anyone that i am serving with in this mission, the ones  i knew have all left so it looks like it is time for me to make more friends!

This week was great!!

Monday we did nothing for preparation which is probably what we will be doing today..

Tuesday we had a zone conference and it was so good!! our mission president is amazing he and his wife are so inspired from God, you simply can not argue a single thing they say.

Wednesday-thursday we found a new investigator. We went to dop by some we had met before and unfortunately she wasnt home, so we turned around and there was a lady putting out her garbage and we asked her if she knew where this woman was she said no but you could try looking around the back so we walked back and nothing, so we said oh well, and went to go talk to this lady standing by her trash, and we taught her the first vision right then and there! she loved it and told us her son was very much into our religion and when we come back she will be excited to have him there too! it was great. So we left with smiles on our faces, and a better hope for the area. friday we received instruction from Elder Craig a Cardon of the seventy during a mission tour. that was amazing as well. It just felt like he was teaching us exactly what we needed to hear according to our preparation and prayers, seriously every time i wanted to raise my hadn and ask a question he went on to answer it. He was being taught as he was teaching. then coming off of that spiritual high we went to teach this new woman (sharon) and her son (nate) and they both had such amazing questions and nate sat there just so intently listening and waiting for more spiritual food, you could tell the spirit was so present. they set a date to be baptized for october 19th! we are so excited to help them reach their goal! and they came to church sunday and everyone was friendly to them and inviting. also saturday we did service in the community, handing out stickers for a scarecrow festival, for a head count. it was the smartest thing we had ever done, we proabably met close to 500 people that day, and some of them were people that had given us excuses not to talk to us or had slammed their door in our faces, it was good to get out in the towns eye!

well all in all as you can see it was fun!!

so the one is a giant unicorn that is 26 years old that  amember forced us to get on and take a picture iwth at the end of the festival.

the other is of the mission tour, this is only half of the missionarys in our mission they had to do two days for the tour
