How is it July??

Buenas tardes!!


This past week is all kind of a blur. It went by so fast! We were able to meet President and Sister Forbes on Wednesday at New Missionary Training. It was a lot of fun, but really weird! They are not anything like the Clements. They are awesome though and I'm excited to get to know them more. Sister Forbes is hilarious. Yesterday they came to Lakeville to church and then stayed for our Spanish gospel principles class. I thought that was pretty cool since even though they don't speak Spanish they were willing to come and support us :)


We started teaching this guy named E a few weeks ago and he is really awesome! He's from El Salvador and has a huge desire to follow Christ. He came to the United States last year to escape the violence down there and just wants to turn his life around. We are meeting with him again this week; should be great!


A came to YW again last week, but they didn't come to church. Apparently they were in Wisconsin for the weekends. We are supposed to be seeing them tonight so hopefully we can get them to really commit to coming! A is set on coming to Girl's Camp though!


M and A: What can I even say. They are the best and I love them so much. Every time we go over there the Spirit is so strong. I can feel it the moment we walk in. A is such an awesome example. We met with them this morning actually too and she shared with us how a few people recently had asked her what church she goes to. She told them and they had all responded negatively. She told them confidently that even though she might not know very much about the church or the bible or anything, she knows that this is the truth. She knows by how she feels that this is exactly where God wants her. She's the best! We invited her to come teaching with us tomorrow and she was so excited! We are going to visit someone named J who is pretty much like an aunt to A. We found her on our own and then a few days later Alma mentioned her name and we figured out it was the same person!


M is doing so great too. He is participating more in lessons and loving reading the Book of Mormon. He is getting close. He also is now praying specifically if he should be baptized. The way he said it was hilarious though... He told us in his prayer he said: Help me to know if I should get baptized and become a member of your team. Haha, not church, but team. :)


Last night we had a really cool miracle. We went to visit a family that is less-active. The kids are teenagers and pretty active but the parents only come once in a while. Anyways, we went over and it turns out they are having a friend named F living with them right now. We ended up teaching him the restoration with them and found out he is very confused about religion and really is looking for it in his life right now! Coincidence? I don't think so! :)


The 4th of July was pretty fun here! We played tennis with the English sisters in the morning. I actually got caught up a little with my journal, and we had a fun time with the Jensen's! We ate dinner, went on a walk around a lake, and played games! We did get to watch some fireworks from the Jensen's too! Fun day! :)


Thanks for the emails! Love you and hope you have a week!
