This week has been a crazy one full of so many wonderful things. I realize that sentence applies to all weeks of the mission haha.
It was sad saying goodbye to Hermana Rawlins. I love her a lot and miss her, but she is going to do awesome in her new area with her new companion. She's so great! Wednesday I got my new companion, Hermana White. She is from Colorado and went to BYU-I for a semester. She's great! It's amazing, all of my companions have been so different, but I really love all of them. Hermana White is no exception. She's a great missionary and likes to work hard which works out great because that's what we do!

(Picture is Hermana's White and Pierce)Happy Father's Day, dad! Yesterday all of the missionaries in the branch were asked to speak in Sacrament. (The new elders, hermana white and me) Haha, Hermana White is so brave! She didn't know Spanish before her mission, literally just got here from Mexico, and gave a talk in the branch! I think for the most part people could understand so it was good! It was a good experience. Our topic was Father's day. Shout out to Dad for being so great! I used you as an example :)
We met and taught a ton of new people this week. I'm really confident that some of these people are going to progress towards baptism. The Lord prepares His children. We had one of the coolest miracles this week too! On Friday night our appointments cancelled so we said a prayer deciding if we should go to Burnsville or Farmington to work for the evening. We both strongly felt Farmington. We tried to stop by some potentials, referrals, etc but didn't have much success. We knew God wanted us there for a reason though. At about 9:00 we stopped by a house I have knocked before. I had never found anyone at home though. We met H and her granddaughter A. Normally we just kind of jump right in to teaching people, but this time I felt prompted to invite them to church right at the beginning. We did and they immediately said they would come. We told them they could follow us and we would be there Sunday... And they actually came! As well as H's niece! They told us they really want A, who is 12, to meet good kids and get involved with things because she is home all day every day during the summer. A loved YW and wants to go to Girl's camp! We are so excited to start teaching them!
There were tons of other miracles too, like always. :) Alma is doing great, loving life. She has noticed the Spirit more in her life and is so happy. She just radiates. M is still coming along too. We aren't sure exactly what he needs; he just doesn't feel like he has gotten a witness. In Spanish they say "no me nace" It kind of means that it hasn't been born in him yet. He hasn't felt that conviction. We just keep praying for Him though and know that he will be ready soon!

I'm really happy about the work that is happening right here in Lakeville. The branch is awesome, the new elders are great and will help a lot, the Spirit is always strong... Then there are just the funny ridiculous moments that top it all off. I can't imagine not being here.
Les quiero mucho! Cuidense!
