Hey everyone!
Well we finally had a good week! This past week the Lord truly blessed us as we found 8 new investigators (or people who are not members of the Church whom we are teaching)! My companion and I were able to find a family as well! There name is the I____ family. We were contacting ( or knocking doors) in their apartment complex and as we were about to leave we heard someone calling us. So we turned and there was a man on the second floor waving us over. We went and he told us he wanted to speak with us. Turns out he really wants the gospel in his life! He has made a lot of mistakes and want a change in life. He is married (his wife is a less active member!) and has 3 kids. Well they are all well on their way to following Christ by being baptized and joining His Church. They came to Church this Sunday as well. We had to really help them out because they had a flat tire and then their spare tire wasn't good so we ended up being at least 20 minutes late to Church. But they loved it. The father even shared his testimony during sacrament meeting. I am feeling really good about this family. Like my first companion once tolme sometimes you meet good people who are keeping you from even better people. I am really excited to see what this week brings and to see how many people the Lord puts in our path.

I am grateful to be in this Gospel and for the many blessings I have received because of it.

I love you all!
