So real quick! this week was slow and kind of a downer on parts but it was redeemed!! This week we had four first lessons cancel :( Super depressing. We also called all ysa. None answered. We tracked down some ppl. None were there. Great week eh?! However we had some great experiences, thererfore it was redeemed.

So we had a less active Mai come to our first appt with andrew. He didn't show up. But as we were about to leave, our hopes came true. Mai said, "Well you could teach me." Wow! she truly wanted to be taught and wants to come back to church. We taught her the restoration and she has such God given faith its incredible. Sad thing tho is she told us she is going back home two days later. (she has only been here a few weeks) so we set up another appt the next day to get in what we could and she was excited about that! We taught her the plan of salvation. Awesome to see what she remembers and recalls from when she was baptized years prior. So she is back in Appleton and we will try to contact missionaries there. :)

So fun experience, there is an investigator that is getting baptized next saturday. He is on fire and so involved. He watched all 10 hours of conference! Anyway there is a sister in the ward that is single. They are both in late 30s prolly. But point is is that we are going to set them up! we see the connection. We pray for a family to teach, now we are going to make a family! ha but really. Pretty exciting.

I met a lady that is 86 years old. and she has 86 nieces and nephews. Beat that anybody? Ya crazy! think of her nieces kids and grand kids. it prolly goes into the hundreds!!!

Me and Sister martin have definitely hit the gym this week. Well actually, we workout in the skinny laundry room so our neighbors don't yell at us from downstairs. But I'm pretty sure my right splits are comin along and i'm workin on the six pack abs! There will be a further update comin soon.

So best experience was last night. We have a goal of 10 baptismal invites a week as a district. That means 2 for me and sister martin. Well sunday came and we had none. It was hard cuz all our first lessons canceled. so we took it upon us with great faith and strength of the Lord to do it last night. As we were tracting, yes tracting, we found some great people. A few that we will return to and 2 new investigators. One of those, sister martin asked if he found out that what we are saying is true and that the Bom is true if he would be baptized.... Guess what, he said yes. A firm yes. Miracles are amazing. I thot before the mission that baptismal invite in first lesson was crazy and now I have a testimony that it works in tracting as well. Invitation is key. It is key for them to know the goal we have for them, God has for them, and that they can have for themselves. Wonderful experience.

Well I love ya'll see ya next week!!
