NO Time!!

Hey Family!!!!!

How is everyone! This has been a great week! I am so happy to get to be talking with you today!

To begin, my comp. has an MRI on Tuesday. And a follow up apt. in a few weeks. ITs looking like she will need surgery at this point. Its been hard for her, but I am proud of her. This transfer has been better for her. She is starting to realize that there are things and people here that she is meant to teach and that she has helped. She has been a great strength to me as well.

So Saturday night, was the trunk or treat party and it started at 5. 2 of the missionaries in the area wanted us to drop something off at their home at 4. We instantly said no and made arrangements to drop it off in there mailbox at about 5:15. So we drop it off and I'm driving over, but a few of the intersections are blocked by tons of cops. including Montano and 4th, which the church is on. So, we end up driving around (thank you soooo much for the GPS! its saves us all the time!) and getting to the church using a 45min. backway. We get there and had an awesome time. Turned out that there had been a police chase and 3 cops were shot (or shot at) sometime around 4. and it was right by the church we were all heading to. fun :)
But the trunk or treat was a huge success! it was a lot of fun and there were a lot of people there!
We loved it!

So tonight we have an appointment with a man named Mike! He was a media referral who may have come to church last week. We almost always have dinner at 5, but on Thursday, we ended up changing it to 6 and decided to try and contact mike earlier. It turned out to be perfect. he has an unusual schedule and we were able to contact him just in time!  We are excited for tonight!

Also, a few weeks ago on exchanges, we met a few kids in the street and started to talk to them about church and we asked if they were interested in learning more. They said yes, but we had a hard time coming back to talk to there foster parents. yesterday, we faced our fears and went over. and were able to talk with them for a few min. The lady came out looking a little weirded out. We told her who we were and she said yes, she thinks that that would be really good for the kids and for her. She said that they had just been talking about Revelations and about how there are not really any signs from God today. And I said "Hey, this is a sign right here" and she agreed. It was awesome. I am so excited to get to go back and teach all of them.

This week has been stressful for a few reasons, but the work has been good. Sis. Ragers news is one. And another is because God answers prayers. I've had a question, but was always afraid to ask God about it. But I finally did and then I was not sure if I liked the answer or not. But God is good and all will be well in the end.

One woman we visited this week is named Sis. Trujillo. And wow, I love her so much, but it didn't start that way. 9 weeks ago, it seemed unproductive to visit her (she is less active) but a few weeks ago we felt like we should start going back. Wow. the spirit has worked on her heart! I am so thankful to know that sometimes we need to drop people in order to help them realize what they are missing.2 weeks ago we were bold and could see all of her pride fall from her as we talked. She is amazing and you could just begin to feel her love. This last week we spent 1.5 hours there because she didn't want us to leave and we didn't want to do. She got put in the other ward and it was our last visit. She opened up and became the answers to some of our prayers. I love her sooo much. And I feel for her situation and for everything that she is going through.

opps! got to go! I love you!!!!
