April 30, 2012

This week was most definitely a most excellent
week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On tuesday we knocked on
some doors in the morning which was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I
love tracting so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You get to meet such
interesting people and it is just so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then
afterwards in the afternoon we got to have another lesson with
Dylan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is the guy who we met the week before who just
got out of jail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We also got to teach his neighbor
which was really cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are going to meet with them
again this next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They said that when we
study with them they feel the spirit, especially when we talk about
the Book of Mormon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then at night time we had
an FHE with the Puente family which was really great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Sisters came too which made it really fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Puente family just tranferred into the english ward from the
spanish branch and the husband is not a member of the
church!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had a lesson with them about prophets which
went really well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wednesday we basically had a full
day of tracting which was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love tracting so
it was a lot of fun!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on thursday we had interviews
with President Durrant which was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also
love meeting with the Durrant Family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sister Durrant
gave us an awesome training on teaching people and asking everyone
that we come in contact with if they know anyone that would like to
hear our message!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We were promised that if we ask
everyone for referrals we will more than double our teaching
pool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then in the afternoon we had weekly
planing and then guess what I got to do at night?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?! I
got to do my first baptismal
interview!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was
sooooooooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It reminded me of when I
had my baptismal interview to get baptized, i couldnt believe
it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The girl who I interviewed is so
awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is in the dallas 6th ward and she is
getting baptized on May 5th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She even spent a couple
years in Newport Beach which is really cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And
guess what else happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My spanish scriptures
came in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ordered spanish scriptures and
they finally got to the mission office!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been around spanish people a lot since I have been here in
Carrollton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I even have gotten to teach some lessons
in spanish since the Sunbeck branch is in my
district!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can understand when people speak
the only problem is that I cant speak it very well hahaha but im
getting better and now I have spanish scriptures so I can start
reading them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Friday was another awesome
day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We went tracting in this really cool
neighborhood in Carrollton in the afternoon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I got
to use the new pass along cards that the church just came out
with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE SOOOOO
COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so excited when
we got them with our commisary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They link up with the
mormon.org website which everyone should take a look
at!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we got to go on exchanges with the
zone leaders so i was with Elder Durtschi for the night which was
great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got to give Sister Robledo her baptismal
interview and I am so excited for her to get
baptized!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We started teaching her back in march

the spirit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its so great how we feel it and the
feeling it gives to us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We also got to have dinner
at Emilyns house on friday night which was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She

EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited for her to go to
BYU idaho this fall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On Saturday we did some
more tracting and then we went and tried to stop by some referrals
that we have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! None of them were home but that was
ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then at night time we had a lesson with the Sisters
and a family that it is in the sunbeck branch and that was really
great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We talked about Jospeh Smith and the restoration
of the church and I got to use my spanish
scriptures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On sunday we had church and then we
got to have a lesson with Emmanuel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is
progressing really well and he just wants to wait a little bit before
he gets baptized but he is doing awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We taught
the plan of salvation and the spirit was so strong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I
