Mommmmm it sounds like this young womens thing is gonnna be sick for you! I love it! You got to go to the temple and do some baptisms that is sweet! i hope you still have the calling when I get home because I wanna come teach the class with you hahaha.
I have no idea whats going on on mothers day yet. They havent quite told us I think it will just be a phone call but im not sure. Whatever it is im defintely looking forward to it! Miss you all so much! Can you believe I got my call almost a year ago? I cant remember when i got it but i believe I got it in May. but who knows.. my memory is terrible for some reason haha. I think I got it from my momma ;) hahaha

Brayton I love you bro keep up the good work bro!! :) Love you so much!
Justin I love you man glad to hear all is going well thank you for everything!
Thank you for being the best family EVER!!!!!
Soooooo anyway about this past week. It was pretty sweet! Yesterday Crystal was able to attend church!! Yeahhhhhhhh buddy! As far as we know she liked it. The ward was soo welcoming to her it was sick! She is still struggling with her family and smoking but i know the Lord is blessing her so much lately. I love this work and watching people change. Its impossible to deny this church when you see these things happen. Hopefully she can get baptized by her date!
We have learned a ton of different things to help us become better missionaries and I have tried putting them to use but its sooo hard haha. I pray that I will be able to make these things my strengths and bring more of God's children closer to Him :)
The other day we had a way interesting experience. We had an appointment set with some random lady and we went and of course she wasnt there. We were about to leave when a lady came outside and said "hey guys" were like "heyyy.." haha then she just broke down and we were like uh oh.. whats going on. She told us that she is an alcoholic and that she hates herslef sooo much. It was probably the worst thing i have ever heard somebody say about themselves.. it was so sad! So we offered a prayer for her and it meant so much to her. After the prayer she just went inside and broke down.. we havent been able to see her since then to see how she was doing but it was NUTS.. we didnt know what to do after she walked inside.
I think i told you about Brenda and Esmiralda. The 17 year old twins we have been teaching. They havent made it to chruch again but we had an appointment and Brenda told us she felt the spirit when she was reading the Book of Mormon! She thinsk its true but isnt sure haha idk why she is still questioning! She felt the spirit!! We asked if theyd be baptized and they said yes but we were unable to set a date with them. They werent sure yet. Hopefully we will be able to set a date with them soon. I wish they would come to church! But they say they always have something going on.. but thats gonna change :)
We were able to get Elder Smith to meet basically all our investigators which isnt that much.. but yeah it took a little to get to see them. This coming week we hope we can pick up more. We need to get FAMILIES FAMILIES FAMILES! We will see what happens!
I have been keeping in touch with trenton sounds like he is in quite the culture shock haha. I can only imagine how big of a change it is.. he will get used to it though im sure. love that kid.
The fassbinders sent me a package so if you could thank them that would be greeeatttt! Ill send them a thank you card this week but you guys should thank them too :).
Mom dont worry about that packages haha its not a big deal at all! Really though dont worry about it. Thank you for everything you guys have done for me while I have been out here. I know it was a HUGE sacrifice on all our parts. Even though im exhausted by the end of the day and that this mission is the hardest thing i have ever done I know we are recieving many many blessings :). I pray for you each every single day. I miss you and love you all sooooooooooooo much! I'll talk to you again next week! :) If my letters suck and are super boring.. let me know and ill see what i can do to improve them haha i dont wanna bore you guys to death :) LOVE YOU!!!!!!! peace dudes
