Hello!!!
Wow! this week went by fast! Wasn't I just here?
Mom, Transfers are next Monday. We find out this Saturday night of what is going on.

Dad, that's so awesome that you love your job.
I am working my hardest. My comp and I have been working hard. This transfer has gone by soooooooo fast!
Gavin, Keep it up!
I heard MLC's are awesome.
This week was interesting/awesome/busy.
So, this week we found a new investigator!!!!
The bishop told us to see a less active whose son was not baptized. On Tuesday, we taught him and he is 9 years old. And he was very active in our lesson. We were talking to him about the atonement and the people didn't really like him and he died on the cross. His response "well, that's rude." HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! Its just a little more then rude. Then the mom told us to go see someone that she thought of. So we went to see her and she is quite interested in having us hear of what we have to say!! Its been awesome! we have about 3 referrals that people have told us to go see! its so awesome. Miracles everywhere!
Wednesday we had Zone Conference and that was awesome! the stake fed us Chick-Fil-A for lunch. 
Soooooooooooo good!
We had a police officer talk to us about driving in the snow and just to be careful drivers. He served his mission in mexico.
It also talked a lot about change and how the mission is changing along with the missionaries. The goal for next year is to have 1001 baptisms for the mission. President Mendenhall is really on fire with this goal. There are 3 committees that are in the mission. One is the 1001 baptism goal, the 2nd is the Flood Denver committee which is all the missionaries are having a goal of handing out 5 book of Mormons a week with testimonies in them. and the 3rd is the Spirit of Elijah Committee which is we are introducing family history while tracting to get people interested in the church. Those two committees (the 2nd and the 3rd) will bring people into the waters of baptism. Which is why I keep asking for family history stories. *Cough cough* 
Then, came the time for me to give my departing testimony because the conference was my last one. AAGH!!!! I never thought I would be up there. really weird.
Miracle!
On Friday was a very interesting day. We came out of our dinner, and we were about to go to our last appointment when we saw our phone and it had a TON of messages on it. The first one had our last appointment of the night cancel on us, and we were just kind of like "bummer. that kind of ruins our night. what do we want to do now?" so we looked at our other messages and we had 5 missed calls from a lady in our ward and a TON of texts from one of our investigators. We called the lady who called us about 5 times and she told us that she is getting
kicked out of her apartment, and needs a place to say tonight. SO we were frantically calling the bishop. and he just took down our information, and he called her. So when that was taken care of, we looked at our texts from our investigator, and she was having a mental breakdown. She ended up telling us her whole life story, and she told us that her friend (who is a member, but less active. kind of abusing her), said if she told anybody about what happened in her life then she won't get baptized, and the church will shun her. We had to calm her down and say that the atonement is real and she can repent from ALL of her sins. The church won't turn away anybody. And she got all excited, and she said she was ready for BAPTISM!!!
So she came to church on sunday with all of her kids, and they loved it!!! Except for her little two year old didn't like Nursery. She cried and was taken to her ten minutes after class started. poor girl.
But anyway, SHE'S GOING TO GET BAPTIZED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, that's it for this week!
Love you all!!!
