I miss my old area, but I love this area too!!! I am seeing a lot more miracles. To start with, we gave 8 people baptismal dates in the first contact. Pretty exciting. Maybe not a huge number for some missionaries, but for 1 week here and having only 3 investigators before... Its pretty awesome! And so many of them are so prepared! 

Another miracle. We had just fisished a lesson and were walking back to the members house. I had a strong impression I needed to contact the girl on the corner. So, I pulled out a plan of salvation pamphlet and started with the contact. When we asked where she lived, she started bawling and said she didnt have a home, her parents died and she had nothing. So, we began to explain about the plan of salvation and that she can be with her parents again. We also had been given cookies earlier in the day, so we pulled them out and gave them to her. She was so excited. Then the member said she had some clothes for her. It was really cool to be able to help this poor woman and to help her have comfort and to feel her saviors love. I loved it.
We were walking by a house and a sweet old lady yelled that she had our book and wanted to give it back. So we waited to see, expecting a book of mormon. Well, it was one, but from 1985!!!! Its so old and beautiful. And its a lot thicker, its nice they have made the pages thinner. Its a special book.

There is this one investigator. She is sweet. She has a little bit of a learning problem, so we have to take everything a lot slower, but she goes to church every week and loves it. Shes a sweetheart and Shes progressing nicely. 

Thats about all I have time for this week, but the work of the Lord is moving forward! Every memeber a missionary! Love you all!!!
