dear family!!!i am sorry to say we didnt have a week of miracles but we had a day of miracles haha!!! but first the day started out with disctrict meeting. and we have it once a week, and i have to talk to the district about the investigators and about how we can improve and all that. but it went way well. we have some elders in the district that have been struggling and dont have any investigators. but it went way well, and after those elders that have been struggling were saying, finally we have a good district leader, i actually learned something in district meeting. haha, so now whenever i call them they are willing to do whatever i say haha, so it was pretty cool. then when we were on our way home we got on the colectivo (bus) and me and my comp decided we wanted to preach to the whole bus. so we asked the bus driver if we could share a message about christ to the bus. he said yes, and we started sharing the book of mormon to everyone. and we were holding it up and showing everyone it was way fun. there were some people that just thought we were idiots while we were preaching, then there were others that were listening and you could tell they had the light of christ in there eyes. so then after we got done preaching, we sat down next to the people and told them we want to give away the book of mormon, so we would like to pass by another day. so we wrote down all the peoples names that were interested and we should be going by soon. it was a way fun experience, and so now we put the goal to do it every time we go to district meeting. then we got back, at lunch, and got back out working, we found a family, and we taught them in their house for a little bit, and found out the mom is a member. the dad was kind of against the church so we will see what happens. then we saw a lady leaving her house and we ran over there and talked with her and taught her and her family about the book of mormon. they let us in, and we taught more and gave away the book of mormon, and while we were teaching, everyone was hanging on the edge of their seats listening to what we had to say, it was so cool to say that. so we gave the book of mormon to them. then it was like 8 o clock. me and my companion had a feeling to go down a street, so we started walking and we passed by one of our investigators house, right when we walked in front of the house, she came out crying telling us that her kid is way sick, he hit his head, and that all she needs is peace right now and for us to talk to them. she told us that she had been praying and praying for us to come. and she was about to go to her neighbors house to have them call us, when she looked out the window and there we were. so we gave the son a blessing and shared some scriptures to comfort them. so it was a pretty cool day for us, and i will always remember it in my mission. i have seen so many miracles in my mission, and i have them all written down in my journal. when i get home, we might have to read it so that you know what i was doing every day for 2 years haha. for the first 6 months of my mission i wrote every day, but i got a little lazy, so now its like every 2 or 3 days. but it will still be a way good memorie. but anyway today for pday, we are going golfing with the assistants haha. so i guess because we live with them, we get some benifits. haha. but me and elder davis are still way good friends. he ends his mission in 3 months. but he always asks me if we are going to hang out after the mission. so i guess hes thinking about the home haha. but hes an amazing missionary. they only have like 3 hours a day to work, and they always kick our butts with investigators in church, haha. we had 5 investigators in the church yesterday, but they beat us and they had 9. its just amazing that they only have 3 hours to work every day, and sometimes less, and they accomplish what they do. í am learning a lot from them. i love everyone and thanks for everything. hope you like my day of miracles hahachou!! love yaElder
