Family!!!! 

It was so nice to see all of your faces!! You guys are a sight for sore eyes hahah you all just crack me up so much!! :))) thanks so much for all your support and love!! Couldn’t do this without you all! Why is my family so funny we should start a comedian show! :) 

That book about the Pioneer handcart companies sounds super cool dad! I can’t wait to read it!! This week I have been trying to learn the pioneer child song As They Walked in Spanish and as I was thinking about its crazy how they were going through all that walking without shoes and they still sang! They were happy and positive! Its true superheroes don’t have capes they have handcarts! :) It would be so much fun to go to Martin’s Cove! 

So this week!! We had to drop Lynn because, well we don’t know what happened, one day she was super solid and then the next she wouldn’t answer our calls or the door. We were super sad because she was so amazing! But that is okay. Planting seeds. But we were blessed again with Bianca and her family. They are the Bolivian family. We were tracting and we decided to try one more door before going home. So we went to this door that we both felt prompted about and right next to the door was a sign that said families are eternal! We were like no way! We knocked on the door and she let us right in. She has a daughter Alison who is 12 and a son who is six and her husband is in the Marines. Super cool! Bianca is a little slow, she just has a hard time understanding the priesthood and why we need to be baptized again. But her husband gets it. He knows that to get to the celestial kingdom he has to get baptized and be sealed to his family in the temple. We are going to take them on a temple tour this week. It will be super fun!!

 Yesterday while knocking doors, we had this cool experience. wW were knocking in this very Latin area and went to give this lady a card and she didn’t speak Spanish. She said that she was just here to pick up her god daughter from her grandparents and she was like, “do you speak Spanish?”  I said yes. She was super happy. She asked if I could translate for her. So I got to translate for her and it was super cool. She was so grateful. She said I don’t know what I would have done without you guys. It was a cool experience.

  

This week we went and visited Sister Boga and her husband was there. He is really into guns and when he found out I liked them and did archery, he got out all his guns and showed them to me. He has a nine mil like dads, and a couple of action powered shot guns. Beautiful rifles and these are like crazy expensive ones. He loved it because none of his kids are really into it. It was so great to get to know him better. Dad would of loved all his guns and him!! Haha

Look what we found on our porch!!

This week I was reading in 1 Nephi 20:10 and it says, “For behold I have refined thee, I have chosen thee in the furnace of thy afflictions.” It made me think of a piece of coal and how we are like that coal and even though we are a piece of imperfect coal he knows our potential and what we can become. So to help us he gives us that heat and pressure which is like trials, scripture study, the atonement, prayer and church to help us become that beautiful diamond that he knows we can be! It was a great analogy. It was also amazing as I was reading in Moroni as well and it talked about how Moroni could of stopped writing the Book of Mormon after he finished Ether but he says I am not dead yet so I am going to keep writing. It was so powerful because he went the extra mile. If he didn’t we wouldn’t have the rest of the book. It’s so important we go the extra mile because we don’t know who we are going to affect. It makes me think of in Hercules when he sings "I can go the distance.... I know every mile will be worth my while..." it’s true every extra mile we go will be worth it. 

I love you all soooo much!!! Thanks sooo much for all you do!! So happy I got to see you guys yesterday. Have a great a week!
