Hey Everyone!

This week was a great week of work! The last week we were struggling finding people to teach and we were fasting and praying alot to find people to teach and baptize. When I got here in this area they only had one family that they were teaching and they have to get married before getting baptized, so its going to take a while. And the first week here it was super hard to find people, but this week Heavenly Father really blessed us. We were able to find a couple awesome families and other people that have accepted baptism dates. We are super happy and super busy now with a ton of people to work with!

On Sunday we got to the church and the sacrament meeting was about to start and the bishop stood up holding the microfone and the cord in his hand. The cord was cut in half. He was like " If any of your kids were loose in the church with scissors I think one of them cut the mic cord. But if it wasn't one of your kids then it was someone that entered into the church and cut it, and it was vandalism." So we discovered that it wasn't anyone's kids. Someone had broken into the church and cut the mic cord. How ridiculous huh!? So it was fast and testimony meeting and everyone had to practicallly yell at the pulpit to be heard.

Other than that nothing really exciting happened. But I did discover something... Now that ive been walking around this town for 2 weeks I discovered something interesting... This town doesn't have a single street light! haha its a small town!

But im loving it here! and tomorrow I will hit 1 YEAR ON THE MISSION!!!!!
