March 31, 2014 (Out of Order)

I feel like I start with this every week, but I have no clue where to start!!  Except that I am so happy :)   I am glad you guys sound like you had a good week!!  Tell Michael he is awesome and to keep up the good work!!  Tell him to keep studying and take the ACT again so he can get scholarships and get school paid for!! 

Anyway so this week was pretty great :)  Except 9 of our lessons canceled this week so we kinda felt like failures and were all down and stuff until the woman's broadcast which was AMAZING!!!  The Spirit of the broadcasts are so awesome and so different than watching it later or reading it.  Because it is live and so many people around the world are watching it at the same time.  Sometimes we feel like we are alone here and the church is struggling, but when I see so many people in the conference center it reminds me I have brothers and sisters all around the world who are going through a similar thing.  WE ARE NOT ALONE!!!  and we are never meant to be :)  

So Andrea and Julian got married on Monday and we got to be witnesses it was pretty cool!!  They have adorable little kids!!  Then when we were walking out of the court house Julian (who is LA) says now that you guys witnessed our marriage you will see us at church Sunday!!  We didn't even have to invite them!!  When we teach people and help them feel the spirit they will do what is right!  Another investigator who has been sick called and said she already had a ride and would be at church Sunday as well!!!  It was amazing to see miracles happen because of prayers and faith and just trusting in the Lord :)  

We did A LOT of service this week for a quilting convention that was happening and then we helped Julian clean up a football field with his team.  His kids were there and we played with them a bunch.  The rules about us not holding little kids is HARD especially when they jump on you!  But exact obedience :)  OH and Andrea has accepted to be baptized but it is going to be difficult because she is pregnant.  She was due on May 21, but the doctor said he may have miscalculated and she might be due at the first of May, but she thinks it will be even sooner!  So yeah we are praying that everything will work out.

We are so excited for conference this weekend!!!  There is nothing like listening to the prophets and apostles while on your mission!!  It is SO amazing!!  I encourage you to watch it live and take notes!!  Oh funny mom you asked me a couple of weeks ago if I ever speak in church.  The Sunday after that I spoke and then I spoke yesterday and last week we taught Relief Society :)  So we keep busy on Sundays.  But we taught about the importance of Conference and how we should spiritually prepare for it.  So get ready :)  Pray for understanding and for certain questions to be answered!!  

I love you guys and hope that you have an amazing week!!  Keep smiling and having fun :)
