It was an interesting week. Highlights, because once again I am short on time.

We found many new people to teach this week. Eleven! This is a HUGE number for the time that we have to use. Thankfully several of these are members of families who we are already visiting. We just seem to stumble upon people. After we apologize, they let us share a short message and permit us to keep sharing. So cool!

My favorite new investigator this week is named Karin. She is of rich Mayan descent and practices many things of the culture. I was really excited when we found her for one thing because we had a little miracle in helping her open her locked door. And after we helped, she let us coming in to chat. Another reason I'm excited is that there are SO many correlations between the Mayan culture and history and the Book of Mormon. Why? Because it's about the people here, in the Americas. It's even more amazing when we consider the similarities along with the fact that the Book of Mormon was translated in a time when the people knew very little about the indigenous in the Americas. Spine tingling (in a good way).

We presented a plan for our members in the ward to help us in the work. It was really spiritual and moving. They signed right up to help us.

 I had a little bit of a rough time early this week, but I had an interview with the President of the mission and...wow. I felt so much better. We talked about some issues I had and also some doctrinal stuff. It was amazing the peace that it all brought to me. He told me exactly the things I needed to hear. It was wonderful. I love my mission president!

 That's about all I have time for this week. How on earth does time go so quickly!

I love you all and stay happy!
