Hey Momma! 

So it was a pretty solid week. I think the best thing was this week we had a movie night of watching the Meet the Mormons. N came to that! She loved it so much and we also got the opportunity to show her around the church cause she wanted to see how it was set up. We explained each part and she really loved it. The only thing holding her back from being baptized is her husband having to work in Philly on the weekends and she has to go with him. They are trying to figure out what they can do so she can come to church. She would be such a solid member and I feel will be. She is progressing the best right now. So J who is J's wife is wanting to learn more about fasting so we taught them that. They are really trying to figure everything out because they know what they need to do. She just keeps trying to put everything on him but I think she is realizing she needs to be pulling her weight. We always bring members over there with us and that helps them a lot. So we will see what happens there. Cause he feels bad he was not able to be baptized this month cause he was supposed to be. I feel we will have a few baptisms here for sure so I'm super excited. F and H are doing ok. Don't know why they did not come to church but we are laying it down with H too because Z comes by every Sunday to get them. And the last two they have overslept and so it's a waste of Z's time and gas. We treated Z to Zwahlens. The SUPER good ice cream place. I need to send you guys some chocolates or chocolate dipper apples. It's not just ice cream but all sorts of stuff and all fresh made. We get half off! Z has been helping us out a lot. He reminds me of A from my first area. We are seeing E tomorrow. He is feeding us lunch. He randomly showed up at our English classes! We were excited about that. So I'll let you know how that goes next week. We had Zone conference this past Friday and it was so great. I got to see so many missionaries I have not seen in a while. I have a picture or two that I will send. It was so great. Learned so much about our desires and how that effects our mission. Our heart has to be in the right place and we have to allow ourselves to change. I'm really trying to just continue to let myself change and I feel I have a lot. It was wonderful to receive training from President and Sister Anderson. I can really feel the love they do have for us and they always express it. I had 4 of my companions there so i will get that picture to you. So we called A and her husband answered. He said they were interested but that's a lie cause she was very. So we are going to stop by and see what we can do. You can not deny the spirit. ALWAYS follow the promptings. The won't lead you astray and I have found that. 

We had dinner with The M family that are in our ward and they just said to soak it all in. They both served missions and two of their kids so far have. Their son S comes out a lot with us. They are from Mexico and actually worked at school that is now the MTC in Mexico. So they have so many pictures from there. His Brother is actually a mission President in Mexico and his parents are serving their mission in the mission of their son! So cool! So he is their mission President. So that's super cool. 

Thank you for the quotes! I enjoy them a lot. I try to share them. 

I'm definitely staying focused and working hard over here. But I'll send you some pictures. Love ya momma! 

Love,
