It's so great to hear that you guys are having fun and doing well!!!  We had another pretty slow week, not much happened but here's what did.  Our progressing investigator, Richard Strickland, hasn't been able to sleep lately.  So, we were able to give him a blessing.  I could tell Richard felt the spirit once I finished the blessing and it was so cool to see!!!  He was at church with his girlfriend Sarah, who is a member and he wants to get baptized soon!!  We are excited for him!!!

The most inspirational thing that happened this week was probably when I gave the blessing for Richard because I feel it was exactly what he needed to hear.  :)  Oh, and he is our best investigator at this moment, it's awesome!  Yea, we are getting to know the members too!!!  They're super great at feeding us!!!  We also have Brother Winfrey coming out with us this week to a lesson!  I feel like I see the Mission President a lot, ha ha!  He called me this past Monday and called me to be a District Leader...AHH, too scary, but I'm going to do it anyways!  Elder Bowen is fantastic!  I love that guy!  He and I are pretty awesome friends now!

I love you all so much!!! I miss you a LOT!!  It's crazy to think I haven't been home in six months!  Just wait til it's two years!!
