Oh dear. So much goodness!!!! I can't even express. Let me just say that.

Marie is our new investigator and top dog. She was our most promising before she was even an official investigator. Thursday we spent some time with her smoking meats, baked a cake, and made a salad for the ward 4th party. Friday she got sick and couldn't even make it! Sunday she came to church!!!! With her friend Sister Lima. Well, all week we have been getting closer, preparing to ask Marie if we can teach her. Well, we did and boy she is sooo ready! This lady is wealthy beyond measure but that is not what is important to her. I talked to her on the phone yesterday and she told us that all she wants, all she wants, is to come closer to her Savior Jesus Christ. She wants to learn about forgiveness and about the Holy Ghost. She sees this church and sees goodness. She sees us sisters and sees purity and light of Christ. She wants that! She told me "If this church represents what I think it represents, then I want in" She then asked if there's a reading assignment that can help her to prepare for Tuesday when we teach her. 

Ummmm.... prepared much? Ahhhh!!!!!!! So excited to teach her!

Andy is another amazing person. He has been reading the Book of Mormon everyday. Came to the 4th of july party and to church. He has such a pure heart. We will teach him Saturday. Cutest thing. Andy is a bit childlike, and he came to the 4th party with a nametag on his shirt so he could introduce himself to all those he didn't know. So cute!

Third miracle of the week. I wrote Bryan (investigator/recent convert from Stevens Point) and he wrote back!!!!!!! He called me the "original missionary" haha. Also expressed some things he has learned and that he bore his testimony in church yesterday! Can't wait to go back and visit one day. :)

All in all, great week. Not the best numbers wise (missionaries will understand that) but miracles!

Love you all! 

Have a wonderful week and always remember to rely on our Savior each and every day!
