This was a busy, busy week and it went by really fast. I am surprised to already be writing again. We witnessed so many miracles this week. we were out of our area a lot this week and put about 600 miles on our car just driving around from place to place. We had to drive way down to Missouri a couple times, but overall it was a really good week. We also spent a while in Illinois helping some missionaries out there.

                But the week ended really well. We saw the baptism of a couple young girls who we have been working with. They are an amazing family, the mom has been coming back to church and we have watched as the family has changed. The girls were so excited for their baptism and everything went well. We have another baptism next week. This is the only time that I have found someone just by knocking a street who is going to be baptized. I will talk a little more about them next week.

                I am so excited to be a missionary this is the best time in my life. I don’t have a lot of time left now but this week is already set up to be super busy. We are working hard. We are teaching a lot of lessons and I am amazed at how many people are ready to change their life’s for the better. I am so grateful for this work. I know that it is true. Have a great week.
