This week has been a great week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On tuesday I got to spend the day over in the Lake Highlands and Garland 1 wards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was cool to be in that area for the day but I missed my area, thats one thing I dont like about exchanges!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I got to spend the day with Elder Shuman and he is an awesome missionary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was serving out in Hemphill for 6 months and then he came her to the city to our district, so this is his second area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got to have a lot of fun tracting and talking to people and it was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got to teach some lessons that evening and that was great too!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got to share the story of the restoration of the church with someone and it was so cool to see their immediate change and to see the spirit working with them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love seeing all these miracles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On thursday we had a meeting with President Durrant and Sister Durrant which was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! President Durrants son just got back from his mission so we got to hear a little bit from him!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have another meeting this next week, I do like going to meetings but somtimes i just wish that we can be out doingn normal missionary work, I dont like being inside all day at a meeting!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then at night time we got to meet with the Son family and they are doing great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love them a lot, we just need to really help them with the Word of Wisdom, because the kids understand it, just the parents dont!!!!!!!!! I wish we could speak vietnamese!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On friday we got to have a full day of tracting which was great!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got to talk to a lot of people and give a lot of cards out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully some people will take a look at the website!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on saturday morning we got to meet with this man named Nano!!!!!!!!!!! The carrollton elders texted us earlier that week and told us that he came to church up there and he lives in our area, so we didnt know too much about him!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So we met him at the hotel he lives at and guess what?!?!?!?!?!?!!? He just moved here from spain about a month ago and he is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was already taught all the lessons by the missionaries in spain and he wants to get baptized!!!!!!!!!!!!! he still has all the pamphlets which is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He looks exactly like Carl which is also so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its so great to see someone that appreciates the gospel so much and is not even a member of the church!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know this church is true with all my heart and I just love it so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Jaime and Caridad came to church yesterday which was so great!!!!!!!!!!! I love them so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so great to see how much they were loving church!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sunday was a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rosalinda was having a bad day because she didnt go to church so we went over there for a little bit to see her and Tiny, her dog, ran away which is so sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is the only other person that stays there with her and she loves him so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today we are putting up signs everywhere in case someone has found him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love all the help we get to do for everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Missionary work is the best thing ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope that everyone has a great week and everyone that is going back to school, have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I miss you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
