What a week!
The beginning of the week was a little boring, but Wednesday was good, but very cold!! It was my 21st birthday!! I’m legal! hahah A member took us to lunch at a little French restaurant which was actually really good. Then it was full of lessons the rest of the day. We saw Dakota (more on her in a second!), Ariane, and then Antonio.
A miracle happened on Wednesday!! We grabbed a member as we were going to Ariane, and then all of a sudden, a lady yells Elders!! So we went and talked to her. She was a member visiting another member who didn’t speak any english but needed a blessing, so we helped her with that. What was really cool and amazing was just before they called us over, they had prayed for help from our Father in Heaven and then they saw us. It was amazing to see how the hand of the Lord works in our lives.
That night a member (who works at a bakery) brought me a cake!! It was so cool!! It had Boston Red Sox stuff on it and Packer and Seahawks as well! It was so good and we are still struggling to finish it!!
On Friday we spent the day at the Temple (Jordan River)!! A couple weeks ago, the mission said that when have someone get baptized within two weeks we can go to the Temple with them. So we took Jani!! It was so much fun to watch her do that.. even though we aren’t allowed to do any of the ordinances, we were able to watch and be there for her. It was really cool to see someone do that for the first time!
Dakota Maes was baptized and confirmed this weekend. She is staying with her grandma for a couple months and was OYMed by the Zone Leaders and then passed off to us (“OYM” is a program called “Open Your Mouth” which encourages you to talk to people and share a message http://mormonmission.blogspot.com/.../oym-open-your-mouth...) Dakota’s mother grew up in the church but was never baptized. Dakota and her mother have been reading the Book of Mormon over the phone for the past several weeks. She is originally from Elko Nevada. Her mother drove all Saturday morning and made it for the baptism on Saturday. It was awesome to meet her. Dakota is going to return to Elko in a few weeks and will help in getting her mother back into the church again.
We have a couple people that we are working with towards baptism! So, we are super excited for the coming weeks! It’s really fun to be a missionary right now.
Hope you all have a great week!!

The Seahawk logo must be on the other side?!
His favorite Sprecher rootbeer. Mom dropped some off for him in August, did he save it? or did he find more?
nice thought - he came from Liberia to Salt Lake, not from Libya, but it made Collin laugh
and last, but not least:
Dakota was baptized
