Hey Family!






This past week wasn't too bad. I was struggling a little bit with grandma passing and I had a hard time doing the work and staying focused. Then I got a thought that passed through my head that said "If grandma sees me struggling because she is gone she would be so hurt." So i decided that I was going to change that and make her proud. I know she is in a better place where she will not be in anymore pain. It really is a blessing that we will all be resurrected. Grandma will have a perfect body where she wont have any of the problems she had before. I'm grateful for Jesus Christ and for all that he did so that we all can be resurrected and death is NOT the end whatsoever,     On Sunday we had 2 of our investigators come to church. You guys are gonna get a kick out of what happened but first there is this girl we are teaching who is 14 years old. She is in a part member family and her parents are less active and her brother is taking lessons from the YSA Sister missionaries and now were teaching this girl. Her name is Roweena. She has been through a lot with her famliy and has now come to church 2 times in a row. We were on exchanges and i wasnt here but they had a super sweet lesson with her at a members house. We are going to try to set something up soon and get to teach her. The other guy that came is named Jim. Jim talked to us awhile ago and brought up some concerns and I told him lets solve those concerns so he took us into his home and taught him and his wife barbara. They didnt come to church last week but he came this week. Heres the kicker.. he got up in testimony meeting!!!!!!! He got up and said how he wasnt part of the faith but he was there because of the missionaries AKA us :) but anyway one of his concerns is blacks and the priesthood back in the day, but when he got up he saw a black guy in the congregation and said im grateful to see a black guy here!! hahahaha This african american is a less active member who we taught earlier that week and committed to church. What a coincidence right!!!?? hahahaha soooooo funny. All the other testimonies after Jim were about racism and women because another concern was he wanted more women in leadership. He left right after sacrament but were seeing him on Wed and seeing how he liked it. It was soooo funny though. Everybody came up to us and talked to us about it. It made testimony meeting very different and interesting.. kinda like when we all started standing up to sing the national anthem that one testimony meeting at home hahahaha gosh i love those moments. Thats basically the highlight to my week.





Now with Crystal.. she has been acting super weird lately. We were supposed to teach her at a baptism other missionaries were having and she didnt show up. We called and her step dad said she went shopping.. we were like uhh whhaa?? ok... haha but were gonna try to meet with her soon to find out her concerns and everything.





We picked up a couple new investigators. One really great guy named James who is african american and LOVED the restoration. We learned this new skill of having peple read the first vision and not us tell them so he read it and i asked how he felt and he said how unbelievable and undescribable it was. You could definitely feel the spirit even though we were on his driveway. He wants to meet with us at the end of the week and head out to lunch to learn more.

I want to stay ebcause i love this ward soo much but i think its time for me to go. We will see what the Lord wants from me.





Well... Not much more to say. Thank you soooo much for everything. I hope you are all doing better. I know this is really hard, but just know that our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and grandma DO NOT want us to be sad.. If were sad it only hurts them. I love you all sooooooooooo much. Head up. Push through life. Eternal Life waits ahead :). Talk to you all on Sunday!!! Peace out bros!!!
