2/12/2018 Got back to the apartment and the wifi was down. Last weeks email

Hola todos!

Another week come and gone in a blink of an eye. This week was kinda wierd, just felt like nothing happened, we did have one amazing find, and made incredible progress with an investigator.

We met a lady named Stephanie while riding our bikes. Elder Jones decided to turn back on a road to go see if someone we knew was home, as we passed by a house the person got home. I said hi and we started to talk about God (surprise surprise). At some point she was talking about all of these struggles and trials she has been going through, so I felt impressed to share 2 Nephi 2:2. She said that she loved it and she felt the spirit really strong, then asked where it was from in the Bible. I explained that it was from the Book of Mormon, and then shared a bit about the Book of Mormon. She then said, "I don't know why I haven't heard of this Book before, but I feel really strongly that Jesus wants me to read it." So that was amazing!

Then Lisa. I met Lisa on my third week out here and have been teaching her since then. She is amazing and has gone through sooooooo many trials and problems over this last little while, but she has finally changed her life around drastically and is ready to be baptized this Saturday! She is an absolutely amazing person that has an honestly inspiring testimony. I've grown to love her tons, and I am so stoked for her for this weekend!!!

Other than those two, it has been a pretty mellow week, just not a ton happened. It has been amazing though! I have loved every second of my mission. Even though there are definitely times where I feel like I just want to lay down and cry, haha. There are definitely hard days, and some feel unbearable, but it is so worth it. Lisa has really reaffirmed for me that I am out here for a reason, and she has a life and an eternity of joy, peace, and love ahead of her, and I got to be a part of it! I love my mission, I love the gospel, I love Christ, I love my Heavenly Father, and I love all of yall! Thanks for another week of prayers and love! Talk to yall next week!
