This week was a good one. We were able to see some awesome miracles! I don't have much time to write and can't really explain in a letter, but Heavenly Father is definitely watching over us and helping us do His work here. Leti finally came to church!! We went and walked to her house about 30 minutes away to get her up and to go to church, which was a little crazy but whatever it takes to help her and her family. We are willing to do what it takes to help her family progress! She loves the gospel and the Book of Mormon and wants to be baptized. She should be getting baptized real soon! We also were able to visit some investgators that we haven't been able to find in a while and had some great lessons with them. I was getting a little nervous with them thinking they didn't want anything to do with the gospel anymore because they didn't answer their phone and weren't ever home. But we have been praying and did a fast and this week we were able to find them, have some great lessons with them, and they have big desires to follow in the gospel. I'm so pumped for them!!! Seriously Heavenly Father is listening to prayers and answers us. He doesn't make things easy. He makes us work for it and then when we are putting in the effort and trust in Him, He gives us just what we need. With every difficulty there is always something we can learn and from it and become better people and understand more about the Great Plan He has in store for us.

In 2 weeks our branch here has planned to hand an Open Chapel. Which is basically an activity where people come and with the members we give them a tour of the church and help them understand more about Christ and our beliefs in the church. Yesterday my comp and I went and explained to the Branch on how it would work and how really it's a great opportunity for every member to invite their friends and anyone they know to come and be able to learn more about the church and maybe be the means of bringing them to Salvation. We shared the video "Invite all to come unto Christ" at the end. There was a great feeling in the room and the branch was excited to invite their friends and family. I think it will help the branch a lot and help with missionary work a lot. It's great to be a missionary, I love this work! Much love,
