The miracle

Hey Everybody!

Ok... so everything is going pretty good, not too bad of a week! But before i forget i got to tell you this funny story. So we went to go visit our branch Mission Leader this past week and oh man it was so funny! Alright so we go over and he comes out and asks us if we would like some bread so after some hesitancy we obviously said Yes! Something better then saimin, haha. So he comes out and says "Elders.. there are two loaves in the bag. Last night there was only one loave in here and now there are two!!" and he was amazed and then he asked us if we prayed for food, haha...and his wife walked in and he told her the same thing and then she said that there was three, but he was like no no there was only one. it was so funny then he went to the shelves to see the can food and he came back with just this amazed face again and told us that there were only two cans of fish and now there are four! haha... oh man, we started cracking up so hard. So we had another bread and fish miracle right here in Poway by our Ward Mission Leader!

So anyways this past week was pretty good. We got to go to the Mormon Batallion with a member. It was super good. We watched the Restoration movie, the one about the prophet Joseph Smith and the beginnings of the Church during in that time period. It helped her a ton. She could feel like that's what she is going through and so she's excitied to keep moving on and trying to progress and follow Jesus Christ even more. So we were stoked that it went well.

We also taught this other older couple and this time we actually got to watch another short video clip, and it's good because sometimes people don't get it, and they didn't get it before, but after that video, they understood it a lot better. So as a result, we got some people who are moving along.

Then what else... oh, yesterday we found this lady who moved from El Salvador and shes been here for a couple years working to send money to her family, but she hasn't been to church and so she is less active and she is living with this other family. She is a super nice lady, so we got to talk with her and so we are working on trying to help her get Sundays off so that she can come to Church, it was just a good appointment, then as we were leaving... the family that lives with her pulled in the driveway and we started talking with them as well. Come to find out that the wife is a member too and so we're gonna start visiting them too and teaching the husband, who's pretty open to learning. That's so sweet!

Oh and then we had this other appointment with another investigator. Previously we had given him a chapter in the Book of Mormon to read and he read it!! He really has good intentions because he felt the Holy Spirit tell him that these things are important and that he needs to look into it and do it. So that was another sweet blessing right there. The work is shooting up out here though. It's been really good. The only junk thing is when you have a lot of stuff to do the time goes by too quick! but oh well... can't do anything about that.

Oh yeah... ok, so i think i told you the story about that one less active member who we gave a blessing to and now she is back at Church way strong? Well this past week she gave a talk! It was super good. She talked about prayer during Sacrament meeting. it was just pretty cool to see someone get it and understand everything and do it too. That's one thing i love out here, is to just to see the people change and then to see how good they feel when they do the things God asks us to do.

Eh... but how was the birthday this past Sunday? Hopefully you guys didn't do it on Sunday! haha, i'm just kidding.. kind of... haha. Anyway...everything is going way good here. Hope everything is good back home!

Love you guys!
