This week was a pretty awesome week and it was my favorite holiday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tuesday was a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We went on exchanges and I got to spend the day with Elder Christensen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is a new missionary, he just got here this transfer but he is doing a great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He got to come over to my area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got to talk to a lot of people and we got to teach a lot of people too which was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We were supposed to go and visit one of our investigators at night but when we stopped by he didnt want us to come over anymore but while we were walking away we ran into one of our past investigators and he wanted to study with us again which was great so we got to share a lesson with him instead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We always see miracles everywhere we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are a mission of miracles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On wednesday we were supposed to have a lesson with this lady who talked to us when we were in the parking lot of an apartment complex, so as we were walking up to knock on her door we saw this man in the window telling us to not come and he was moving his hand across his throat and then he started running for the door and I got kind of scared because he was this really big african american guy and he came up to us and started yelling at us and told us the lady doesnt live there anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So we didnt get to meet with her but we got to stop by some other investigators and say hi to them!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we had dinner with our ward mission leader which was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When we were driving home at night time from an apartment we got to see some fireworks which was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There were doing fireworks over at Love Field Airport which is right by our apartment!!!!!!!!!!!! So we also got to see them from our window!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There was a bunch of people over there and the spanish missionaries got to spend the evening contacting people over there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On thursday we had a very very busy day with TONS of appointments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got to do some knocking on doors in highland park and then we had a lesson with Rosalinda and then we had dinner and then we met a member at church and he came out teaching with us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a great night and the spirit was so strong at all those lessons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was sad that the people we taught that night didnt come to church on sunday BUT i know they felt the spirit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On friday we had interviews with President Durrant which went great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He always inspires me so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We also got to hear a training from Sister Durrant which was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We talked about how we need to have the faith to see miracles and then we can see them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After that we went to the retirement house that we do service at and we had dinner with them there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we got to meet with Beatrice, she is a less active member that we have been working with!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then at night time we got a call from the childrens medical center and they told us that someone there has requested a blessing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! usually when we go and give blessings either the member calls us or other missionaries call us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When we got there we found out it was for a two month old baby that just had surgery on its liver!!!!!!!!!!! And the mom hasnt been to church in a very very long time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On saturday we got to meet with Jared and Becka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They just got back from a trip to Arkansas, we missed them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but while they were there they got to go to church at a tiny branch which they said was really cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When they talked about it, it reminded when i was back in my first area in the Farmersville Branch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got to talk about some of the commandments with them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know that if we are obedient to the commandments our lives will be sooooo much better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its great to see people change and its also great to see when they have that desire to change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sunday was great!!!!!!!!!!!! There was a missionary in the 9th ward that just got back from his mission and he gave a great talk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the afternoon we got to go to the hospital to give a blessing to a member in the first ward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Since our area has so many hospitals in it we are always getting calls to go give blessings to people in the hospital which is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got to see our Karen speaking family and we got to talk with the Karen speaking missionaries!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are going to have to stop teaching them since we cant really teach them but i still love them so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It has been a great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love being a missionary and serving with all my might mind and strength!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
