Hello!

 

thank you for all your letters!

 

Mom, whoo hoo! school!

that is super sad about the boy. But I am so glad that we can all be together again with perfect bodies when resurrection comes.

nobody told me Melissa was having problems. Doesn't really surprise me that she is though.

 

Dad, that is awesome about brother Pingel becoming bishop. Poor Bishop Mundt was bishop for a while.

that's awesome about you being on the radio! congrats!

 

This week has been awesome!

Our Less Actives are progressing! every week we have about 3 or 4 that come to church. It is awesome! Todd Betz is also coming to gospel principles class! we challenged him to come to church for 2 hours for 4 weeks. And he excepted that. The people that come with us on appointments fellowship him and invite him to class. I love this ward, because they know there duties when they have to help somebody come back to church, and help us with investigators. This ward is so missionary minded its awesome. We will have to talk to him Thursday to see if he liked class or not. :) now we just have to help our investigators progress.

 

Miracle this week!

We were in the city of Fort Lupton on Friday (we cover the cities of Brighton, Fort Lupton, Lochbuie, Hudson, Plattville, and Roggen. pretty big), and we were getting really frustrated, because we haven't taught any lessons that day and it was around 8:30. It takes about 20 minutes to get home too. So we said, one more person. So we went to a less active home and he came out of his house, we started talking to him, and then he said hold on. He goes inside, comes back out a minute later with his beer and cigarettes, and says "I'm not interested." what??? you could have told us that BEFORE you brought that out and we would have believed you. He's either a jerk or just dumb. So we gave him our number just incase he changed his mind. After we left, two minutes later, we got a phone call from the guy. He said to come back. We were a little confused. we said "sure what can we do for you?" He said "Well, I have two daughters who are interested in what you have to say." So we rushed back, and long story short, we picked up the oldest one as our investigator!!! The other is 5, so we can't really baptize her. But we asked the dad, and he said it was totally fine. We still have to meet the mom first.

I am truly amazed at home the Lord helps us in times of struggle. That experience was so awesome.
