Week 96

Hello friends and family and friends of family and family friends and all of the rest of you! I hope this last week has filled you heart with joy and gladness and that you are excited for the week that is coming! God loves you! A ton! This week was crazy. We had so much going on all week it seemed like there was never a break or time to breathe even. We had to prepare for zone conferences that are coming up the next 2 weeks. Luckily we don't have to go to all of them this transfer. So we get to go and be normal missionaries in ours and enjoy the rest of the time to proselyte. I love it. We had 3 exchanges this week. Tuesday night we had 4 missionaries in our apartment for an exchange all day Wednesday until 5 PM. Then Wednesday night we had 4 more for an exchange all day Thursday. And then Friday night we had 2 more come in. This week we have 2 more exchanges coming. Crazy!!! I love exchanges. It is a great way to learn from other missionaires and to grow. We have seen a ton of success this last week from them. We have started teaching the restoration to everyone we meet on the street. We just walk up and basically start teaching from the pamphlet for 2-3 Miniutes and then set a time to come back to teach them. It has been really awesome and full of miracles!!! So we had an interesting experience this week. Alanna has been preparing for baptism for the 22nd of this month. She is super amazing. She teaches us the gospel when we meet together. She is pretty incredible. Well she moved. And she moved out of our zone which means we would have to pass her to some other missionaries and a different branch. Well we found out that she lives in a couple different places and so after talking to our Branch President we decided to keep her here! It was awesome and we are excited for her and her baptism coming up!! Only a week and a half away!!!! Boom!!!! That is all I can think of this week. I love you all!!! Keep being awesome!!!!
