3-9-15 Miracles are growing

Hello everyone! 

Well.

This week was pretty solid. Learning lots. Seeing miracles. Meeting awesome people. Meeting not-so-awesome people that you still love because they're children of God, but mostly awesome people. The usual. :) 

Lot's of stuff happened with our miracle less-active girl, Ally. (She's the one we found last week.) On Tuesday we brought the elders over to give her a blessing. Then her other friend with tons of issues called her and asked if she could come talk to us too. (WHAT). So then we had a great lesson with her other friend, Laysha, who now is preparing for baptism. Then the next day we went over and found out that Ally had gotten a lot worse and had to go to a mental hospital for a little bit. Then we went and visited the friend that was there the first time, Judeth, who actually was a potential investigator that went to church with Ally when she got baptized. And now Judeth is possibly getting baptized this next Sunday. (WHATTT). And yesterday Ally, her less-active mom, and Judeth all came to church and were BEAMING. Probably one of the happiest sights of my life. 
So many miracles in such a short time that all started with God's goodness in letting us meet these girls. 
Basically we're doubling the size of the young women class. No big deal. (just kidding it's a huge deal.) 

Besides that though, most of our investigators are being super flakyy. aka they all missed church yesterday. haha really a lot of members did as well yesterday. In the english branch, there were literally the same amount of missionaries as there were members. #daylightsavingsandrainproblems

We're teaching a guy named Humberto right now that has come to church once so far. He's struggling to get a testimony of why it's important what church we go to and that this is the true church. Some prayers for him would be great, because he is an amazing guy and once he has a testimony, he will work wonders in the kingdom of God. 

Also something fun this week is that I ate pig skin for the first time! basically like eating strips of straight fat in a soup. not chewing too much is the key. haha

Anything exciting happening at home? How's the new provo temple looking? 

Love you all! Don't ever forget how loved you are!
