Hello!

 

Mom, congrats in school! that's so exciting about the stuff that you are learning! keep it up!

Soooo sorry about the piano, and the Ivory bird. that makes me sad :(

woo hoo! So exciting about the people getting confirmed! So exciting!

Congrats on the family home care job!! super exciting! and the meds!!!

Don't worry about the care package. No biggy :)

 

Dad, Sorry about the heat. and having no AC. First world problems. its amazing of what we take for granted.

Zack and Lindsey had a baby?????? when did they get pregnant?????? Nobody tells me these things. But that's awesome!!!!! Tell them congrats for me!

 

Gavin, so I got news from my comp sister Bertagnole, that her cousin just got called to the Tempe Arizona mission. His name is Elder Jason Gordon. Look out for him!

 

This week has been awesome!

We also taught DeRie, and it went awesome! we taught her the second lesson, and asked her to be baptized. (by the way. always challenge someone to be baptized on the first lesson, that way you don't have to go back and explain stuff that you talked about in the first lesson. Lesson learned!) and she said yes! We set a date, and she said she would pray about it. soooo, She practically on date! :D

Not much going on with investigators, but we are soooo happy with our less actives! we have been teaching sister Jurgens, and she was this bitter old lady who basically yelled at everyone at the store. After many months of missionaries teaching her, she is now a sweet old lady who loves everyone. The last time we saw her, she had this light bursting out of her. She is so proud of herself of how far she has gotten in the gospel. She asks questions and when she understands them she is so happy. I love that lady.

We also are teaching my other favorite less active Brother Betz! He has been progressing so much! He is a little more friendly to us, and the people that we bring with us, and he actually said to us, he is looking forward to church! I am soooooo happy! He is a little more happier then when I first met him.

So many amazing things are happening to the people that we are teaching, because the gospel makes people happy. This is why this plan is called "the plan of happiness" because it brings people so much joy in this life. I love it.

 

I love you all!!
