Ok here it goes this week was full of huge blessings! Elder RIch one of my other best friends out here and I were tracting and we found a letter on the ground, he asked if we should go and give it to the person, i didnt want to get a federal offeense so i suggested hiding it going and telling them and then telling them where we hid it haha so we looked around and saw nowhere but then we found a place and so we went back to the truck, as we were walking we talked to some people, one guiy who i had talked to 5 months before and to make a digression shorter I forgot we hid the letter and that was our plan of action at that point haha so we went on to see some people and then we were driving and Rich pointed and said thats the street! so we remembered and we went ot the address, as we knocked on the door the kids said Elders!!! which mostly only people who know us say that, so we gave the story of how we found it and so one of the kids ran to get it and I asked the lady if she knew missionaries because the kids called us that and she said she had been inactive in the church for about 20 some yrs, the spirit overwhelmed me at that point and bore witness to me that we weren't there by accident, that we were on the Lords errand, so we talked to her and emotions were flowing as we talked about her life, I eventually told her that it wasn't a coincidence that we were at her door and that the check she would have lost was her child support check! She teared up as she realized that the lord had sent us to talk to her, her kids were amazing, they said mom please! Please Let us go to church, we love it so much, the one boy said mom i want to be baptised haha, it was sureal to see the spirit work on her, she was truly touche and she said she would think of it, she said that she was glad we weren't overbearing and were understanding. I told her we would be there for a couple weeks and she said she'd call, but it was one of those experiences you couldn't pay enough for to have happen it again, i think Elder Rich sumed it up best, as we were walking back to the car he said, "Did that seriously just happen?" It was awesome and it made me feel the love that the the savior has for her and all of her children, that day was good! We found five people on that street that all wanted to learn more! so Etzel and I went back, one is an older grandma age lady Ann, She's 100 proof Dego she always says, 100 percent italian and she is the best! she is the funniest gal from chicago which is where etzel is from and she has already listened all the way through 2nd nephi in the book of mormon, she said she wants to be baptised if she comes to know if the Book of Mormon is true.Also one girl Bethany she said we could come back so one night we didnt have anything to do and we went to see her but it was 7:30 and since shes in high school we had doubts to knocking because it could come off weird you know what that looks like two 20 yr olds knocking on her door, so we said a prayer and got the go by the Lord! haha so we knocked on her door and her sister anwered whos around 20 and the next blessiong happened, We ahd the best lesson ever with her, the spirit was super strong, jsut talkign about the Book of Mormon and really coming to make changes in our lives, we are going to see her tomorrow! Etzel talks about how it was the most spiritual experience he's ever had on the door step and i cant say its not for me as well. There has been distinct experiences everyday that have jsut blown our minds but those two were the most prevelant, we had President Interviews,a zone meeting, and ZLC aned MCM so this week was full of jsut good stuff, the zone had 8 baptisms this week a lto of peopel are really making great sacrafices to know this wonderful message, i hope everyone is recovering from the holiday feasts! Love you all!

O i didnt even recognize in this email Asay, he is gone and ll the women in the ward are sad because their cute elder is gone, Him and i sang at church on sunday and everyone loved it, it was sureal seeing him go home but hes doing well. in the class they said , "how can we have charity like our elders, look at them! have you ever seem such love and companionship unity in a companionship? II have no doubt Asay would sacrafice his life for schally!" hah it was kind of weird to hear that but it was pretty cool too because people saw the admiration we had for each other, i miss you ace but i know your in a good place right now.
