HI!!
Ok I have 24 minutes to write this. This week I was hit with emails like no other..which is AWESOME! Thank you ALL for writing me. I am sorry I can't say as much as I would like to because of the time. Ok anyways.........

MIRACLE of the week: One day Hermana Collado and I were in this apt. complex just doing some 10x10 (tracting) and she yells to a little boy "is your mom home?" he says "I don't know" and we looked at each other and think eh we'll go back sometime to building 10331. So we leave and then last Sunday we were teaching Edwin, Ceci, Edwin Jr. , Jorge, and Aaron. All spanish..yeah we have like 11 spanish investigators. So Jorge says "come by my apt this week so I can have a spanish b.o.m." So we go to contact him but we only wrote down the building as "1033..." uh they are ALL "1033_" so Hermana Collado is like well maybe it was "10331" and I didn't hear him say uno. We go knock on the door and this man Daniel answers..he is from El Salvador and we find out he has been baptized and has 2 kids and a wife and wants to come back to church...OK COOL! And we say well does Jorge live here and hes like "yeah yeah" ok here can you give him this B.O.M. for us? He's like, of course and I'll tell him all about it.

Alright so then we go to that apt complex the other day and run into Aaron outside cooking hamburgers for his family and were like "oh hey we just stopped to see Jorge and he wasn't there and aaron is like "Jorge doesn't live over there!! He lives there and points" WHAT!! there were TWO JORGE'S! Not only did we give some random Jorge a spanish b.o.m. but found someone who wants to come back to church and have his wife learn.

Coincidence? Yeah right. Cool huh?

Sad news...Antonio who was progressing and came to Gen. Conference was deported 3 days ago to Mexico!!! :( So sad!!! I hope everyone else were teaching is legal so they won't drop like flies.

I passed all my lessons...so I think that's like 50 scriptures I memorized? I don't know but it's sweet cause I can use them in my lessons now.

VC Story: Yesterday 3 young guys come in (twins and a friend) and I took them on tour through "God's Plan For his Family" and they tell me they are not LDS, the twins Dad is but he doesn't go to church anymore and they know a lot though. So I took them through it all, explain what the restoration was and then one looks at me and says, "Alright I gotta tell you something, we're LDS, we just all got baptized. It just seems better when we say were not for some reason" Those punks! The friend is going on a mission next month to Montana. But the twins Dad really is LDS just not active.

Oh and the "Crafts" came in yesterday that knows The Heads and Greens and are related to the Crafts in Hillsboro! That was exciting. They're from Portland. I love when Oregonians come in!

Alright I gotta attach pics now!

Have a fun week everyone.

I love you all.
