Miracles!!

Hi family!!

HAAPPPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope it is going well!!! Thanks for being the greatest father I could hope for! You will be a millionaire in no time ;) Love ya!

Yeah I do remember Sis. Johnson! That is really sad that she passed away. It really is good to know God's plan for us.

I am happy to hear Sierra is doing better. Poor girl.

I will get a recording soon. Promisssse :)

Our week was really busy. Tons of exchanges and moving the other elders into a new apartment and zone conference and all that. It was hard to get  a lot done and I feel like I didn't hardly work in my area, but it was still a good week. There's a man named Mario Nolazco who is amazing and wants to get baptized, but him and his less active wife are both married to other people. But we are going to try and figure it all out and get him baptized. He has so much desire and is seeing that acting on the gospel is helping his life. He has a ton of potential and it is super cool to see that.

Biggest miracle of the week? THEY FOUND AURELIO SANCHEZ. At zone conference Sis. Cuesta (who is working in Galt) asked me if we ever worked in Galt because there is someone who knows me and Elder Sanhueza by name. When she said it was Aurelio I about started crying. I don't know if you remember him, but he was a golden guy in Lodi, that like a week and a half before his baptism just disappeared. His daughter said he went to Galt, basically she hates us and the church, and said that if we come again she would call the cops. We loved the guy so much and it was so heartbreaking to have that happen. The gospel was helping him. We would always talk about him after that and how someday he would be found again. It is such a huge miracle. I have been really grateful for that his week :) I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! So amazing.

Other than that things were pretty good, but numbers were way small at church. We aren't sure what happened but hopefully we will fix it up this week. There is a lot of work to do.

Time is flying way too fast. I am learning and progressing though, trying to make the most of every minute. I have felt that the Lord has helped me realize my desires more to serve him this week. Transfers are coming up, and we want to finish this one strong.


Well I love you guys so much. Happy Birthday again Dad! Thanks for the pictures of Emmy. She is the cutest. I miss you all! Have a blessed week :)
