OH BOY IT IS SO GREAT TO BE BACK IN DALLAS 1/DALLAS 9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it here so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was great to be in Irving for two weeks but I really missed it here in Dallas!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I even got to see some very very very great people yesterday at church and I'll talk about that later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So we went to transfer meeting on Tuesday and I got to be back with Elder Saenger again and we got a new car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The other car here got really bad hail damage from the storm last week, I heard about the car when I was in Irving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So we got a new car for the area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its now a white Chevy Malibu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its going to be so nice to have a white car for the summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But anyways we got back to area and Elder Saenger updated me on all the investigators,he is doing so great, I am so proud of him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we started contacting referrals that Christian gave us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He has already been telling all of his friends about the church!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He gave us 38 referrals in Highland Park, I couldnt believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So we spent a lot of time this week in Highland Park which i loved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we got to meet with Rosalinda right before dinner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy to see her again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I missed her a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is doing so great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She got her temple recommend yesterday so now she can go to the temple and do Baptisms for the dead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had dinner and then we had a great lesson with the Montoyas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A great first day back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on thursday we had planning in the morning which was great because I got to be even more updated with everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then in the afternoon we went to go stop by some more referrals in Hihgland Park!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we met with Rosalinda again right before dinner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is doing so great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is sharing the gospel with all of her friends and she invites them over when we come to meet with her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then at night time we got to meet with the Son family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are doing great, we just need to get a translator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The husband who is not a member, but the rest of the family is, doesnt understand english well at all!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got to read from the Book of Mormon with him, he comes to church every Sunday, I think just the language barrier is the problem, but I can definitely tell that he is feeling the spirit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the kids of that family are so great!!!!!!!!!!!! When the 11 year old son said the closing prayer, all he said was "please help my dad to know the Book of Mormon is true" and then he closed the prayer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was one of the most spiritual moments of my mission ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I almost started crying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On friday we did some service at the retirement home in the morning and then we went back over to highland park to do some tracting and contacting referrals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we met with Rosalinda and some of her friends which was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A lot of her friends speak spanish so we need to get the spanish speaking missionaries to come over with us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On saturday we had a very busy day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had coordination meeting with our ward mission leader and the spanish missionaries in the morning and then we went over by Rosalinda's!!!!!!!!!!!! We had a lesson with her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And then we rushed over to highland park to have a lesson with Christian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we went up to park lane to meet with a new investigator that Elder Olvera and Elder Saenger started teaching while I was in Irving!!!!!!!!!!!!! Her name is Becca and she is so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Her Husband is a member and she has been going to church for like 6 months now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love them and they live in this HUGE high rise apartment complex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ever since I first got to this area I have been wanting to go tracting in that complex because I knew that there was someone in there that was ready to get baptized!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And there is and her name is Becca and we are teaching her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We shared the gospel of Jesus Christ with them and she knew everything is true and she is so excited to get baptized!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the gospel so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we had dinner with them!!!!!!!!!!!!! then we dropped by some investigators at night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now for sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When we walked into church guess who I saw when we walked through the doors?!?!!?!?!?!?!!?!? JEFF JARVIE AND BRODY FOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i couldnt believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are here in Dallas for business and they came to the Dallas 1st ward for sacrament meeting and it was so great to see them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We took some pictures and talked a little bit and then it was time for church to start and we got to talk a little bit after sacrament meeting but not for long because we had to rush over to the 9th ward council!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy to see them yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They even got to meet Christian, I wanted Christian to meet them so badly!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then at night time we got to meet with the karen speaking family that we are teaching and they are doing great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They want to learn more so badly but we just cant speak the language so its become difficult to teach them more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But i know that they feel the spirit and thats why they love us coming over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was great to be back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited to be back here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope everyone has a great week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
