Dear Family,

We had a great week, probably one of the most successful we've had since I've been in this area. So cool news, we have a baptism this Saturday! Its for a 16 year old girl name Mckayla. We haven't been teaching her for too long. She was taught by missionaries in a different stake for awhile but they passed her off to us because she lives in our area so we've been teaching her for a little bit. She came to church on Sunday and the ward has been great with fellowshipping her and really just wrapping there arms around her. We've been able to bring some of the young women and the young women leader to lessons and its been really successful. Her parents have been really supportive and she said that they might join us in the future lessons so we will see what happens. Its been a huge miracle though. 

Our other miracle we had this week is that we had 5 investigators to sacrament. Which is the most I've had in a long time and the most I've had in this area. Frankie, the one that we're working on getting married, got laid off his job which is a good and a bad thing at the same time. He was working on Sunday's previously so now he can come to church. Which he did, he came to all 3 hours on Sunday. 

We taught Brayden again this week as well. He's doing awesome. He's still on date for baptism on June 28th which is two weeks after his wedding. I found out that he plays tennis and we were both freakin out a little. haha so were gonna go play tennis this week, it should be fun. He came to church as well, along with his future father in law who we are teaching as well. And Gary, this conspiracy theorists, came to church as well. We're starting to see the work really progress now. We had been kind of down for awhile because we were having the hardest time trying to make our investigators progress but things are seeming to look up now.

We had a Elder's quorum meat feed this week where a bunch of guys just get together and we eat meat. We were able to get some less actives we were working with there and it was awesome to see them come out!

 

 I look forward to talking with you guys next on Mothers Day! Love you guys!
