Week 52: May 22, 2017: ONE YEAR THIS WEEK!!!

Hey Family!
SO many good things happened this week!

THE M FAMILY GOT BAPTIZED. All went well and they were baptized on
Saturday night! They are literally incredible and I feel so blessed to
have had this opportunity to teach and become friends with them. They
were confirmed on Sunday and Rusbber and Ruster were given the
priesthood after church so that they can attend the temple to do
baptisms this Tuesday. The baptismal service was great, good talks and
lots of laughs. I led the music and didn't really think that I may
need to know how to lead the music so I stood up in the chapel where
the director stands looking like a fool haha but it helped me to
create a stronger bond with some of the members. Ya we had to do it in
the chapel because there were too many people there to do it in any of
the rooms. We were a little worried though when the baptism started
at 7pm and nobody showed up (not even the Muñoz family) until like
7:20. But thats pretty typical for Kaw River...

We have a sweet investigator named J that is actually going to the
Chapel Hill ward right now because he has family there but he is super
solid! We have been going to the chapel hill ward every week for the
past 4 weeks to teach their gospel principles class in Spanish. We had
a lesson with him on Thursday as well and when we asked him how he was
feeling he just started crying and was saying how much better he is
because he has the gospel. It was awesome. We are teaching him on
Tuesday and hopefully we can get him on date

We found quite a few new investigators this week so that was way good.
The mission is always so much better when you have people to teach
haha. 2 of them are friends and rappers and they are literally so
funny. One of them wrote a book about his life cause its been pretty
crazy and he gave us signed copies of it after we gave him the Book of
Mormon haha.

Another one is a woman named E who had been taught a
little bit by the elders a couple months ago that they referred to us
and she is so sweet! She's definitely got some potential as well.
It has been a good week! 

It sounds like you all had a great week too and good things are coming up! 

I cant believe Jason graduates thisSaturday! He is so old holy cow. That's crazy. 

He'll have so much funup at BYU-I and make sure he takes his go pro to Cozumel 

so he can have some sweet pictures..thats so awesome! What is an Airbnb? His
graduation card that you sent me looks great! I have it up on my wall
with some other pictures of the fam.

Rachel's derby car looks so good!She's such a cutie and that was a fun idea. 

Jason's would have been a good idea if he had found the CO2 cartridges in time! 

Dang. Those pictures of Macey and Halle were so cute!! They are getting so big!

What else does mom have to do for survivor?? That would be way cool if
she got on! What season is she trying out for?? I think that she would
do great and it would be hard but way fun. I hope that rachel does
well in her game this weekend so that she can go to nationals!

Dad, you've traveled a lot to foreign spanish speaking countries,
where has been your favorite or where do you think would be good
places to go when I get home? Where has good beaches and fun hikes or
things to do?

I love and miss you all lots and its great to hear from you :)
