hello hello hello‏

well oh my goodness,
that was a massive load of emails to get through. now I hope everybody got my last email last week because there were reports that some people did not get it. Great news has been made manifest this week. Our Top two investigator families both didn't come to church. It was little disappointing and we were trying figure out what happened. One family from Guatemala called our Cell phone right as church started but the signal was bad and died and we couldn't call them back neither. Our family from Idaho(Fabians) didn't come neither so we went and saw them first after church. well they simply forgot about it so Elder Durrant came up with the Idea on the spot to go take them down to the church right then and there for a tour of it. They both loved it and said that they were defiantly coming next week. After that we went to our Guatemalan family to see what happened. Well they told us that they actually came to church building that morning. However, they saw that it already started so they didn't know what to do. They decided to call our phone but that didn't work so they got intimidated and went home. we had no idea that they actually came. We felt bad about their experience and apologized to them about the little misunderstanding. They said they will come to church again this next Sunday. It was such a shame that they all didn't come for one reason or the other because we had a great service and great lessons. Oh well it was probably for the best though. The Lord's timing sure is different than mine but that's why I know it's right. I love my Savior Jesus Christ. He is our Foundation our Rock. In Him we can find happiness and understanding in this life and Salvation in the next. I love you Arizonans so much. Have great week.


P.S. THANK YOU FOR THE PACKEAGE MOM
AND THANK YOU BONNIE FOR THE LETTER!

MY FAMILY!!! 10/6/08‏

Wow That General Conference was one of my favorites! I saw two of them in spanish. I understood about 30% of what they said. I loved it all though. Holland's, Wirthlin's, Ballard's, Packer's, that one 70 who just boldly testified about Jesus Christ. They were all good. I'm gonna read this one a bunch. this week were trying hard to get our investigators to the conference. We've been seeing that the Lord is preparing people to hear the gospel. The Puerto Rican Family is progressing (I think last week I said they were Cuban). They loved the Wilford Woodruf Conversion Video (it's found on the Doctrine & Covenants lessons DVD). If ya'll haven't seen it you should. I've seen it over 30 times. Also, The Testaments is a must see too. I really do like to get letters. It helps put a smile on your face on those 'not so good' days. I will now Publicly Declare a thank you on my emails when I get a letter during the week: Sarah, thank you again for your letter. What else happened this week. I saw my first 09 Challenger the other day, I loved it. I'm trying real hard to learn my spanish. If I speak slowly I can say it right. Sometimes I feel like Hispanics should get an ward for who can move their tongue as fast as humanly possible. Maybe that's why they love tongue tacos. Oh yeah did I ever tell you I had Cow stomach soup. mmmmm Menudo yummy. well I'm going to be going now. Carry on and never hesitate.
