Man we are being blessed here in the area! We had a referral this last week from Mormon.org and man are they ever prepared to hear the gospel. It was a girl named Hannah and she is only 13 but she is like the most mature 13 year old person boy or girl that i have ever met!! So the whole back story to this is that two Sundays ago we got the referral and we just dropped everything and ran over there to contact her. When we got there it was just the greatest thing in the world! Hannah was just so excited to see that the Book of Mormon was actually given to her and her dad showed a little interest in learning more about the church as well and every thing just seemed to be happening to well for these parts. So we finished talking to them made a return appointment with them. So we walked back to the car and once we got in the car both Elder Ginos and i just had this overwhelming feeling that we just need to pray and thank the Lord for this wonderful experience. As we were praying the thought came to mind to pray for them to have the strength to overcome any kind of anti material or anti talking from anyone that they meet with in between our visits. So we said another prayer and corrected that cause we asked in our prayer that the Lord would take away all trials. And at that point we decided that sometime during the week we would fast for them as well. So it came to the day of the fast and it was the coldest day that we have had so far, and everything was just off that day. But we kept going, we actually had a really good day planned out lots of lessons and all that jazz,, so we went through studies planned and studied for all these people. On our way to our first appointment the person called and canceled on us and we were like ah okay lets go just contact people. And with in 10 mins after that all our lessons for the day canceled on us. We had nothing! It was a day full of just contacting and trials! But we held on strong to our fast and tried to keep good spirits. At the end of the day it felt good even with all those trials. So it came to the day of our lesson with Hannah!! All day long Elder Ginos was saying that our lesson was at 6:30, and i kept thinking to myself i thought we planned that for 6.... But i never said anything i kept looking at my planner and that is when i had it written down for but just thought it was me writing things down wrong. But it came down to like 30 mins before our lesson with them and elder Ginos kept saying that it was at 630 so i finally spoke up and asked him if it was at 630 or 6. So it took a minute to convince him to look at his planner and check for himself, it ended up that he also had it written down at 6. So we made it there on time, her dad was sitting in on the lesson and he was pretty knowledgeable about our church. It was a little interesting... Cause he would throw out all the faults of our church but not really like in a rude way but just pointing everything out... So i was a little worried about it all. So there was a little bit of anti coming from her dad, as well she told us about she talked to one of her teachers and she totally went off and told her that we didnt believe in Christ and all these crazy other things!! But she ended up saying that she didnt care cause she just wanted to learn more from people that actually knew what they were talking about! So we kept going through our lesson and all through out it kind of seemed that the dad was just kinda sitting there to watch over us and just learn about the history of our church. But when we started talking about the apostasy and the restoration of the gospel he totally changed! Everything about him just started to work on him! The spirit was there so so strong! We have a return appointment with them this week and the dad wanted us to come back! The Lord was watching over us and blessing us with so so much!
The rest of the week has been a blur... Its all just going by so fast! Its week 6 and that means next week are transfers and i am like sitting on the fence on whether i want to stay or get transferred. Cause if i stay that means i will be here for the rest of my mission and be in MLC for 14 months of my mission... Ha and i just kinda want to go get doubled in to an area and train for my last two transfers. That is a weird thought though that i only have two transfers left on my mission... It is a little weird to think. Kinda scary haha. 
Man i love you all!! I miss you all so so much! And i hope that you all know that i pray for you all every single day in almost every single prayer that i say! I am doing really well right now just enjoying life and living it up. I have this annoying little cough but hey its all good nothing to much :)  I will keep everyone in my prayers!!
