Week 30

Wow.. This week has been.. Especially Delicious.. Hahaha Nacho!!

The weather is finally cooling down and i LOVE it! :) Haha.. not excited for winter tho.

Anyways.. We had a ton of awesome things happen this week!

First off we have a few new investigators! One's name is Sara Flores. She is a single mom of 3 kids and we found her by knockin doors! Which is pretty rare in these parts of the mission. We taught her the first lesson and she LOVED it. She is anxious to learn more and read and pray! So I really hope all goes well with her. She has been prepared!

I've told you all about Jennifer before... We've been teachin her for a while now! She can't be baptized just yet, but she wants her daughter Marilyn to be baptized and that is prettty awesome!! So we set a date with her and things are going great!

The miracle of the week took place on Sunday. We've been workin with this Less-Active member, and his name is Jack Rainer. For some reason missionaries in the past had given up on him because sometimes he wouldn't answer the door, or avoid them, and all that.. So we met with him last week and he told us that he was just about done with everything.. And he was going to give up because he always felt so depressed and so angry and had said that church wasn't doing anything for him. So we told him to come to church and we told him that he would find his answer and that God would prove to him that He does love him. So come Sunday morning, Jack shows up to church and he's being his usual quiet self. Then during the priesthood meeting he said that something over took him.. And that he felt so happy.The lesson was on "finding peace within" and it was absolutely perfect for him. He said he felt like the world had been lifted off his shoulders and he was soo happy! He's a totally different guy! He wants to come to every lesson we teach now with us and he also wants to bring all his friends! haha! it was soo SWEET! Im happy the Lord delivered the promise that we made Jack!

I'm so grateful for this opportunity to be a missionary! It's so awesome and so life changing. I wouldn't trade it for the world.
