hello! hows everyone doing?
So yeah.. with the tsunami... i really didnt hear too much about it except from a couple of members so it wasnt too big of a deal here! Was there a tsunami that hit anywhere? I'm sure i would have seen it cause im pretty close to the bay and the ocean. What else did you hear about it?
This past week was awesome. Yesterday was the best day in my mission so far. The spirit was just strong the whole day and everything just seemed to work out. A lot happened so ill just try and give you an overview of the day. We went to church and had 5 investigators show up that day. Harmando came. Ashley daniel peter and elizabeth. I was the most excited about elizabeth coming.I dont know if ive talked much about her. Ill have to tell you her full story when i get home. But... a couple months ago we met her and her boyfriend who is a member. He was going into re-hab for alcohol. So we gave them a blessing. When he was in re-hab we went over to see elizabeth every now and then just to see how she was doing. Bryce(her boyfriend) got out of rehab two weeks ago and we stopped by again to see them. But their roommates told us they moved so we were like what the crap? so we called them and called them but couldnt get a hold of them until they called us this past friday. It ends up that they moved, but they place they moved to is still barely in our area. so we went and saw them and got them to come to church yesterday then after church had the first discussion with them. Best discussion ever. it was awesome. bryce is excited about getting back into the church and elizabeth is just awesome. their only hang-up is problems with the word of wisdom. But they said that wont be a problem. So yeah we have another appointment with them on thursday. Oh and the talks in sacrament meeting were perfect for them. It was on overcoming temptation so it fit in with them perfectly. And then aftter the appointment with them we went to a meeting where recent converts tell about their conversion. And we got ashley to go to that. And that was perfect for her. They talked about taking a leap of faith, and looking at things with more spiritual eyes than anything.. the same things that she has had a problem with. so yeah! and we have another appt with harmando too. he said he really liked church.a lot of that probably doesnt even make sense so if you have any questions just ask lol.

Part of December 14 E-mail
There was kind of a cool experience too.... We met with a new investigator last saturday, his name is daniel. He is engaged to sarah who has been a less-active member and they just both moved here about two weeks ago. well he's been searching different churches for his whole life he said.. catholic, christian, baptist, and even muslim. But he's never really felt that any of them were true. A couple weeks ago he lost his job and him and sarah were going through some pretty tough times so they decided to come to our church. And that happened to be the week that me and elder williams were talking in sacrament. remember how i talked on adversities and its importance? Well he told us on saturday that it hit home.. cause of all the crap he was going through. and when he heard that talk he knew that this was the right church. and that nothing has ever touched him more than at that moment. Its kind of crazy cause I had no idea who he was 2 weeks ago. And for that talk.. I was trying to gear it towards ashley to help her.. but it ended up helping someone else out. Its just weird how the lord works sometimes. Anyways... he told us that he wants to get baptized and they're already talking about getting married in the temple in a year :) The only thing is.. we have to wait to baptize him until he gets married to sarah. cause they're living together. And they're getting married february.
