Time flies

Another week has passed by! Sheesh they go quick!

Well this last week held its trails some that I didnt do that well in and some that I did ok. But there were miracles!!!!

We went and visited the Martinez family last Thursday and it was just amazing. I didnt do that good of a job of teaching them but I really think it all happened as it was meant to be. The three little girls are really starting to listen to me and the lesson helped them see how important the Gospel is to their family. We talked about the Atonement and watched finding faith in Christ and that was important for Larry the Dad. They all came to an activity at their new ward had on Saturday (it was Pioneer day here which is a huge deal and I had no idea it was a holiday that even existed). They got to know alot of people and everyone but the dad came to church on Sunday as he was working. He feels alot more comfortable about coming though and he plans to arrange his work schedule so that he can make it cause he really wants it.

So another miracle. We met with Anthony on Friday. It was awesome! We had to ward members come. One he knew and the others he didn't. The spirit was so strong. It was crazy. So he is a diabetic and for weeks I have been feeling like he should fast but keep being like.. what thats weird. What a weird thing to teach a diabetic about. Well any way we taught him that! Plus the conversation progressed to more about the Priesthood and having a blessing. The people we invited to come were definately the right ones. They were very guided in what they said too. He fasted on Sunday, had a priesthood blessing and we set a baptismal date. He is praying this week about that and about how to tell his family which is what he is most nervous about! We will meet with him tonight so we will find out how that is going and we are watching the movie about Thomas S Monson again which talks all about following the Spirit and stuff so that should be good for him at this time.

Ok Coooooollest thing of the week!! This one surely shows us how Heavenly Father prepares people and us missionaries to be there at the right time. I dont know if you will remember or if I have told you about the guy that just died 2 weeks ago here? So sad! We went to the Funeral last week and it was beautiful but it was just super sad but hopeful at the same time. Our funerals are so interesting to me. Any way so we had been working with his wife. Just getting to know her. Going and working with her on her farm and we talked to her at the 4th of July celebration that they had at her parents in Laws house. Well Sunday we prayed if we should go see her and we felt a distinct no! Then last night we were thinking about tracting because that is a requirement of a new missionary is that they go tracting and we had free time. But sitting in the car we went over a few people.. Her name stood out to me and I said the prayer and asked if we should see her or tract or see one other person. Her name was impressed into my mind and into sister Krauss' very obviously for both of us! I had to use the bathroom though so we did that real quick though. Then we drove to her house. Guess who was driving right behind us! Marci. Heavenly Father even knew I had to pee haha! It was perfect timing. She parked her car and walked over to me. Neither of us said anything but we hugged and she cried on my shoulder. From there on I had the most amazing conversation of my mission! She wants to be sealed to him. She wants to be baptised and she asked a million questions that three months ago I would not have been able to answer as well as I did, with Heavenly Fathers help of course. He prepared me. He prepared her. It was so amazing! She is going through alot though obviously but just hearing of the experiences she has been having and everyone else in his family... sheesh! This is what missionary work is all about. These moments. Seeing Heavenly Fathers hand in everything. He times everything perfectly and prepares people perfectly so that he can give them the blessings he wants them to have.

Well nothing else can top that right now but I love you all and I think of you often! Miss you
