7/9

my email will be short because I really need to get a haircut and we have to go to the mission office to get mail for the zone.

This week was pretty good. The best part was hearing that I will be going to Seattle when I finish!!!! Also we had a lesson with Jennifer this morning and she told us that she is excited for her baptism. She was not able to come to church on sunday because she had to work until 5 in the morning sat night but she told her boss that she needs to go to church on sundays and wont do that again.

We taught Lizzeth this past week and it was awesome. She is going through some trials because her husband is not being treated fairly at work and he is having to work 18 hr days. Her husband is trying to start his own business with a few other people but they told him that he needs to buy his own tools and he doesnt have the $2000 that requires. She told us that she knew the Lord would provide a way and that she was going to fast so that the Lord would hear their prayers. We then went over on sunday and taught her and her husband Eric. We watched Mormon Messages and they both started to cry. Eric was so impressed he asked me to make him a copy, I told him I would but in reality I am just going to buy them one.

This past week we had Zone Leader Council and President Miller went through 2 Nephi 31 and explained how in the chapter it explains in depth the process of going through the temple. I didnt believe it but then he showed us and wow it made sense. We also visited this old man named Brother Farnsworth, he is a master of the scriptures. He has memorized over 700 scriptures. He is legally blind, deaf in one ear, has a fake leg and half of his other foot but he knows the doctrine. We sat and talked with him for about an hour and he explained exactly why Jesus had to be baptized, the doctrine of eternal marriage and what the Book of Life is. It is all way to deep to talk about in my email but it was fascinating.

It is super hot in this room so I am going to jet but I love you all.
