Family,

This week actually went really well and we saw tons of miracles!! To start off we are very thankful that we don't have lice!!! Most of our ward got it from the activity because the girls brought it home from girls camp but we luckily did not get it. So don't hug girls! Not because they have cooties but because they have lice!!

Tuesday we had a really awesome lesson with the G. family. There is a mom, dad and a daughter. Long story short they have had a rough past and have made tons of huge changes and are coming back to church. The dad is not a member. He wants to be baptized and said that when he can he is going to be. He is so excited we won't be able to keep up with him and he will be diving head first into the font before we can get there!!! Haha I love them. Ask me about them later on when I get home!! They have quite the story.

Wednesday was super awesome! We had Zone Conference last week and they talked about how ages 15 to 25 is the sweet spot. In that age range is when most people convert. Well this week we found a lot of like 15 -20 year old friends we are now teaching. (Now friends not investigators) Anyways we found (G) this week. She is 15 and is Chuukese. It's a small little island somewhere. Anyways the Family has apparently been taught before but we taught her about the Restoration and committed her to read and pray about the pamphlet. She accepted the challenge and we set up a return appointment for Friday. When we went back on Friday to follow up she said that she had read the pamphlet and prayed about it the way that we showed her to pray and she had the coolest experience!!! She told us that night she read the pamphlet and prayed how we showed her to and then she went to bed not thinking anything of it. That night she had a DREAM!! In her dream she said that the whole Restoration was laid out before her in order. Idk how exactly detailed her dream was or what all she saw but that was awesome. She recognized it as her answer and we are continuing to meet with her!!

Friday we had a big meeting that has been anticipated since January when the mission dissolvement was first announced. It was the first MLC or Mission Leadership Council held as a newly combined mission. It was good!! It was basically just a council the whole time about rules and procedures and how things are going to be moving forward. The Seattle Mission President obviously ran things a little different so we kinda had to meet on common grounds. It was good though.

Then Saturday we went back to a return appointment we had with (S) who we found last week. She is 17 and from Kenya we taught her and her mom this time. They are super cool. We invited them out to church and they came!! It was so cool. Hardly ever do we have people here come to church after the first invite. It usually takes weeks of reading to get people to come out. So that was awesome.

~Elder Wright and I gave the talks in sacrament. So that was cool. It was on the life of Joseph Smith and the Restoration. So it was pretty good!! And a really awesome week!!

~Sounds like it was a good week! You do better about writing about your week then I do.  haha

~No not really. I mean there are always exciting things happening but I cant keep track of them all...

~What am I going to do about school... everyone keeps asking me that and saying I should probably start signing up for it and idk how to do that kinda stuff. Kailor asks me about it
every week.

I have to go though I love you all and hope you all have a good week!!
