so this week we have had some great miracles happen!!
first
off... that family that is from El Salvador that we found last week...
they are all getting baptized on the 28th of this month!!! soo sick!!!
this happened due to the promise our mission president made to us that
if we went and looked through our former book we would find 2-3 people
who could be baptized in a week!!! now we didnt find them in there but
we found someone else who when we went to visit them gave us the
reference to go down the street a little bit!!! so that was super cool
to see how god really is leading us to the people who are ready!!! she
use to be super catholic and wouldnt lsay anything to the
missionaries... now she is getting baptized and has stoped drinking
coffee! (which is a big deal to the people from el salvador) the 13 year
old girl has cancer and has to be in the hospital a lot but she and her
sisters are super excited to be baptized!!! she loves coming to
church!!! their grandpa turned out to be an inactive member of 30 years
and now that he is going back he just tells his whole family how happy
he is now!!! he told us all that when he was going to church he would
always feel soo bad because he wanted his family to be there with him
but his wife was super catholic. but now he says how happy he is that he
is going back WITH all his family!! in just the two weeks we have been
teaching them we have taught them about everynight and HNA O--- calls
us her boys haha she is sooo funny!! its fun having someone to talk to
from el salvador because she spanish is different so its fun saying
things that my companions dont understand!! hahaha
texas is cool! there are aligators in the rivers...
all the people here drive like my dad (love you)! haha jk they are
worse!! it really stresses me out sometimes!!! i hate driving!! i want
to be on a bike soo bad or just walking!!! or riding the bus!!! that
would be better!!!
i still love my mission soo much and im soo grateful
for who im becoming because of these experiences. they have truly
changed me!!
thank you for all your love and support!!!

So glad you are doing well now and busy in the work. We are having a great experience in England too. We had our first teaching of an investigator on Saturday evening. The missionaries that were transferred out gave us their investigators to teach so we were pretty nervous, but everything went OK. We will also be teaching some temple prep classes in the ward. We are looking forward to hearing about Kelli's farewell. Won't be long till she'll be out there teaching the gospe tool. We had a chance to have dinner with her while we were at the MTC. May the Lord bless you in all you do. (Kelli's grandparents)
