This week has been another great week back here in the Dallas 1 and 9 wards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On tuesday we worked on contacting all the referrals that Christian gave us in Highland and Univeristy Park which was a lot of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got to talk to all of Christians friends which was really cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Highland Park, it is such a nice place and everyone in there is so nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We tried to stop by Rosalinda in the late afternoon so we could have a lesson with her but she wouldnt answer the door or her phone which was very weird!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then we stopped by the Gibsons to see how they were doing and to share a lesson with them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we got to have dinner with the Tiernan family which was so great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We ate at this mexican restaurant which was so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its right by Lovers lane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On wednesday we made a trip to the mission office in the morning (only 5 miles away) which was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had to pick up some Thai material and some pamphlets and stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the mission office, all the senior couples that serve there are so great and they always brighten up your day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so thankful for their service, they really help us out so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we got to meet with Christian in the afternoon and he is doing so great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can see his testimony strenghtening so much and he is telling all his friends all of the things that he is learning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He even wanted to bear his testimony yesterday at church but he didnt get to come because he was at his grandparents house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we got to meet with the Montoya family at night and teach all the kids about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and it was so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were all understanding it so well and I know that they were feeling spirit, they are such smart girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And today was the day we found out why Rosalinda wasnt answering the door or the phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She called us and told us that she was in the hospital!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She said that on Tuesday she just collapsed in her kitchen and fainted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So that means when we were pounding on her door, she was laying in her kitchen unconcious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i wish that we could have just broke down her door!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She lives alone but her brother came over that night and found her on the floor so he brought her to the hospital and she found out that she has diabetes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We tried to get the address of the hospital from her so we could go by and give her a blessing but she didnt know which hospital she was at!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Later we found out she was at Baylor which is right in downtown right in our area but she was already out of the hospital when we found out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This week was a pretty crazy week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had so many appointments set up but most of our appointments fell through and the people either werent home or didnt want to meet with us anymore so we got to do a lot of finding this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On saturday night though we did have a really great lesson with this man named Tim who we found in an apartment complex parking lot last week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was very sincere and he really wants to know if the Book of Mormon was true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We introduced the Book of Mormon by talking about the pictures that are in the front of it which brought the spirit in sooooo strongly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the spirit and I could tell that Tim was feeling it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We tried to stop by our Karen speaking family that we are teaching but they havent been home for the last couple days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yesterday was a great day at church!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Elder Green has been spending the last couple days with Elder Saenger and i!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is one of the spanish speaking missionaries in the Dallas 1 ward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His companion went home this week because he was having some problems but I love Elder Baird, he was such an awesome missionary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So Elder Green is going to be with until today when his new companion comes in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Last night we got to meet with Beatrice which is a less active member and she is so nice, she just needs some help from the ward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we got to meet with Isela and we are still trying to help her recieve her testimony about the book of mormon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She comes to church every week with her sisters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love being a missionary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every week it just gets better and better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still cannot believe that last week I have officially been on my mission for a year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That first year flew by!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope the second year doesnt go by as fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope all of you have a great week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
