Valentines....

Hi family.

So this week was bombin. Well it's been the best one of the last 3 at least so that's a plus if ya ask me.

Monday I got mah nails done..(hurr done errythang did) no but seriously my nails. A member took us although I did pay myself. It was RAD because I started talking to this Vietnamese lady doing my nails, Thuy, and she was like 'oh one of mah girls that work here go to yo church. I am catholic but mah church is right by yo church an parr stree.' It was great even if she didn't want to be converted I got to tell her about missions and things like that. She was familiar with missionaries but I just cleared up a little misunderstanding. It was rad.

Then we had a great couple of days of tracting. Always a good time. Hum. Let's see what else. Oh we have had a lot of stake meetings and the stake president is laying down the law that MEMBERS HAVE TO HELP THE MISSIONARIES FIND and TEACH! It was awesome and now our ward is getting really pumped. It is awesome.

Also we had Ztm and better learned how to use our iPads for planning. It is cool to see all these missionaries with their iPad minis but at the same time some people don't have electronics etiquette#firsttimers #respectoutthedoor #workingonit it's a huge learning process right now.

Uh oh great valentines. Chrystel called and told us she didn't want to keep a commandment and that she may not continue to pursue our church. I was really sad but after talking to my zone leader, elder brown(from payson Utah, he has done the propane at the grove before), I felt confident that everything would turn out how it should. So we humbly went to have dinner and teach her that night. It was a great lesson and she still has a desire to be baptized because she knows this is true. It's been a roughy journey for her but she is coming along. I am confident that she will enter the waters of baptism very soon. So another thing. Transfers are in a week. That's crazy. We just had a missionary youth fireside at our bishops home. It was really cool because it was all the missionaries and the rm of Longwood. It was neat to tell them why I came out and why I love it and such and to hear why these other missionaries did the same. So cool.

I'm so grateful for the joy this gospel brings and many opportunities I've been given because I have been a member of this church. I KNOW I would not be the person I am today without it. Wellp. I sure do love you all so much... It's weird but I feel like I've only been here for a few months and still have at least a year left but I know it's much sooner than that so I must live it up and do my very best! I love it. I love you. Oh I said that, well so nice I say it twice. Or thrice I LOVE YOU! Okay that's enough. Now enjoy these photos. And have a grrrreat week.
