This week went by super fast! We didn’t really do much until Thursday but Thursday night we went out finding and we met a family from Honduras and we told them how families can live together forever and they were really interested and we were able to teach them the first lesson and we are going back on Tuesday to teach them about the plan of salvation! We then on Saturday we did bishop storehouse at the church and that was a lot of fun but it was really hard work, then after that we were hanging out in the gym with the English elders and one of the English members comes up to us and asks if they can give him a blessing so my comp and I go with them. When they asked who wants to give it I had to because I was brand new. So I gave my first blessing out in the mission field to a guy that I’ve never met! Now we have church at 9 o’clock and sacrament first so we were sitting in the car making bets to see who would all show up to church and we all agreed that there would be 26 people there. Because President Hansen and his family were coming and the missionaries were going to be there. We predicted that there were going to be more investigators then members there! As we were getting ready the branch presidency comes in and 3 or 4 members come in and that was it for the members, then president and his family come in, then a family that Elders Casillas and Quist are teaching came and that family alone out numbers the people in the branch that came today haha. Then one of our investigators came who only comes because his girlfriend (who is a returned missionary) makes him come. But yesterday he walks in alone and his girlfriend had to do something else so he came alone! Then during testimony meeting all the branch members went up and shared some really strong testimonies and you could really feel the spirit strongly while we were there! so after that we had to go to a meeting with the branch president so we couldn’t go to priesthood, so we thought that Walter would have just skipped out on the rest, but when we got out the meeting we saw that he was there and that he stayed the full 3 hours! He is getting married on the 17th this month and so hopefully after that we can commit him to be baptized! But we were on lockdown a lot because of tornado warnings this week so we were inside a lot this week. But this was a great week. love you guys, talk to you next week
