Well this week has been a great week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got to see a bunch of miracles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On monday night we got a call from our Bishop to go over to one of the hospitals because there was a member there that needed a blessing, the member lives all the way up in northeast texas but she came down here because she had to be with one of the doctors at this hospital!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was really cool except we had to stay there kind of late because the doctor made us wait outside of the room for an hour until he would let us in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its always so great to give people blessings, it really brings the spirit!!!!!!!!!!! We do it a lot because our area has all the main hospitals in dallas in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On tuesday I got to go on exchanges with Elder Treasure over to his area for the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His area is the Lakewood ward which is just east of our wards and his area has the main street of downtown dallas in it so we got to go down there also which was the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At night we got to teach a lesson with one of his awesome investigators!!!!!!!!!!!! We taught about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and he is really interested and he is just such a cool guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant wait for him to make the decision to get baptized!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on wednesday we exchanged back and then Elder Saenger and I had to go straight to one of the hospitals to give a member a blessing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This member goes to the hospital like almost every week and every time he goes there he always calls us to give him a blessing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That night we had some appointments set up but they all fell through so we went tracting around that apartment complex and guess what?!?!?!?!!?!? WE FOUND A NEW INVESTIGATOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We knew that the Lord wanted us to be there even though our appointments fell through!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This guy let us right in when he opened the door and we are meeting again with him today, I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!! On thursday we got to do some contacting in Preston Hollow in the afternoon and then we went over to go teach DayDay and we got to set a baptismal date with him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited for his baptism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is such a cool guy!!!!!!!!!!!! Then afterwards we had dinner with the spanish missionaries over at a recent converts house and she is doing awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we got to meet with Son family!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want Brother Son to be baptized so badly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We read a chapter from the Book of Mormon with them and he followed along with his vietnamese Book of Mormon!!!!!!!!!!!! I think its just the language barrier that is holding him back but he comes to church every week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On friday we went to the Hospital again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This time it was for another member in the first ward!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Sister was so nice and she has a really bad colon disease so I felt her pain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Saturday we got to have the pioneer pancake breakfast in the morning for the ninth ward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was really fun and a lot of our investigators came to that which was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And at night we got to meet with Emily!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy to get to have a lesson with her!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is doing great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We showed her the baptismal font and she is really thinking about getting baptized and we got to answer a lot of her questions which was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sunday was an awesome day at church!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the first and ninth wards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never want to get transferred from here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well i hope that you all have a great week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See miracles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
