Miracle #1
We came back from the Zone Conference we went to get something to eat at a grocery store where we don't usually go. It was raining so we were going to go to that grocery store in a way that we wouldn't normally go... and there downstairs we met up with a girl who had a baptismal date back in April and she's been missing for three months, thought she just didn't want to meet! Well she was all excited to see us! She set up with us! And she's awesome, and we're hoping to re-establish a baptismal date with her this week, it's just crazy that she's back!
Miracle #2
Sunday morning we realized we needed five more lessons to get the 15. We were set up for way more than that this week, but a lot of people flaked us. So we decided that God could still give us 15 lessons. We had lots of faith. We got two in the morning, one on the street, one in the park. Then later we had about 2 hours on a free-board and split up to try to get the three lessons. Well we got two... and it was 20:10 and we only needed one more lesson. We debated because we wanted to be obedient and get home on time... and we weren't sure if we had enough time to do so. We all huddled together and prayed to our Heavenly Father to give us another lesson. If we had a lesson, we figured we could be home before 21:30 and it'd be according to rules. After our prayer and opening our minds and letting faith rule in them, we walked up to the next three people we met - to znacze that we each split our own ways and talked to three different people. Every one of those people was open to hear a message of the restoration and pray with us! WHAT! Each of us thought that we'd got the last lesson and when we got back together, we asked, 'did you get one?' 'YES!' - and that was yes times THREE! Oh man, it was such a cool feeling. We were definitely on a high last night. God is a god of miracles!
Miracle #3: Let there be Light
Well, this is a smaller detail, but we got light back in our apartment this week and that was fun! We realized how much we were GRATEFUL for the light :) and that also is a good feeling, to remember how BLESSED we are! It was also awesome that our fridge and washer didn't die on us, God is so GREAT!
Well, this upcoming week is going to be simply awesome! I'm super excited. God is the one doing this work, we're just being his tools and going as hard core as we can.

My companionship is so great! I can't believe it's coming to a close! It's like leaving your family all over again every transfer, it's a bit nerve racking. We're not going to think about it though, Sister Young, Sister Hemming, and I are going to just work our little souls out this week, and I'm stoked!
So besides these stories, I wanted to tell one more:
A girl works at this little bakery shop on the corner by our chapel. Well I gave her an ulotka one night and invited her to church... that's it... then about a week later, we were walking past the bakery shop and she calls out to me and at first I didn't hear where the sound was coming from, then turned and saw she was motioning for me to come over. So I came and she said 'are you a believing person?' ... well yes! 'Will you pray for my boyfriend?' And from there on she would cry a bit and tell me about their sad story and, man, she was so sweet and i just told her it'd be okay and we'll pray for him and then she wanted to give me her number and meet sometime... okay!? Sometimes I look up at the sky and ask God where he pulls these experiences from - like he's just thinking up the most awesome of awesome things and making them happen - like nothin'! Our Heavenly Father is so AMAZING! So we met with her and her boyfriend and gave them books of mormon - they were so grateful - what!? - her boyfriend came to church on sunday and they are AWESOME and I love them and I want them to get baptized.
For some strange reason I'm not feeling super into writing much more, so I'll just end with this, that I have a testimony of faith. It is a force not to be rekoned with. When you pray in faith, God can't withold his blessings from you, it's really quite the deal. So pray with faith for the rigtheous desires of your heart, knock and it shall be opened unto you. So here we go! Crazy last full week of the transfer, let me at it!
Love ya
