What the roadtrip? Apparently Mom, Marci and Brian spontaneously decided to drive all the way across the country! That's so awesome. I love ridiculously spontaneous expenditures. I also love using huge words. I myself had a bit of a spontaneous travel this week. President Young wanted all the missionaries who are training and being trained to go to Eugene on Wednesday. Well that's about a 2 hour drive. Nothing compared to the days it must have taken to get to New York.
Anyways I am really short on time again this week. But we had an amazing thing happen. We started working with 2 families. Let me just tell you that as a missionary you LOVE families. And I've never really got the opportunity to work with any families but now we're working with 2! They are so sweet!......Dah I wish I could tell you everything about them. Dang it. We did a deep clean of our apartment this week and so that's why I don't have time. Well we set a date for Elnora to be baptized on Aug 20th. And Minnie came to church yesterday. Well actually we had like 8 people at church. Tommy, Minnie, Buck, Elnora, Turners 3 kids, and Tim. I'm not sure if those names mean anything to you. But let me just tell you that they mean A LOT to me. These people....bring me so much happiness. The fact that they are willing to change their lives is glorious in of itself, but I get to be a part of teaching them the gospel of Jesus Christ and that is what seals the deal. That is what makes missions awesome. Yeah
