There was a sister that swallowed a fly.

 Hello everyone!!! Coming back at ya from El Dorado for another 6 weeks!!! And even better news??? Me and Sister Jenkins get a THIRD transfer together!!! 

God is too good! 

My mom just told me that I didn't write a letter last week???? Sorry everyone!!

Got to meet my new mission President and his wife!! 
President and Sister Smuin are the best people ever!!! I'm excited to get to know them and work them!!! 

Had so many miracles this week!!! 
Met Shannon on Facebook just texting random people and asked straight up if he wanted to be baptized and homeboy said YES!!! 
He is a recovering drug addict and has been sober for 7 months and lives in a recovery home!!! 
It's soo cool to see him learn about the Atonement of Jesus Christ and to know that he can be forgiven for all of his mistakes because of the Atonement!! 
Went and taught the restoration and he is now praying about a day to be baptized!!! 

Also met Lottie on Facebook and we met up with her and taught her more about the Book of Mormon and her exact word were "I don't think I can wait until tomorrow to start this!" 

Pray for Lottie and Shannon!! 

Met with Maurice and *tried* to teach him the restoration and we started talking about how God reveals His gospel through prophets and Maurice starts telling us about how the first time he read the Bible was when he was 14 years old in jail... 
Continued to tell us he's been in and out of jail since he's been 11. 
It's so eye opening to see how real that really is and how its honestly just getting worse. 
Truly makes me grateful for all that I have and how I've grown up!! 

Met with Willie and I wish I could just be with him all day! 
He showed up to the church on Wednesday to meet with us and as he was waddling away he goes "I got a new suit to come to church in on sunday!"
Sobbed. 
Called us Saturday to "just check in and make sure we didn't leave town" 
I love him. 

We got straight up followed...
Pulled over to figure out what we were doing and this black infinity pulled over behind us... maybe they were at their house???
NO! We kept driving and they followed us... 
Did the "take 4 rights" thing and they stayed behind us absolutely TAILING us! 
Pulled up next to us at a light and it was some crazy lady???
Not sure what she wanted...
So we drove to the police station!!!!!
HAHAHAHA 
Ptsd now for real! 

Ayways this week was pretty cool!!! 

Here's a fire talk I read this week!!

We back babyyy!  This week did a whole lotta bikin thats for sure!!!  At least we have unlimited miles 😎 We have been working alot with inactive members because there are SO MANY of them here in this town it's crazy!!!  We've had some funny experiences with some of them!  We went and visited James who got baptized back in the 80's but a week after he decided he is part of a different religion?!?!  Asked him where he stood rn and he said he be a Jedi-ite! It's exactly what you are thinking right now... he believes that there is a force which has a light side and a dark side!  I was mind blown!!! I was just trying to be respectful and not laugh because truly that is the most pathetic thing I have heard on my mission!!!  We texted another member and asked how he was doing and he goes "not good. I just lost all my life's savings betting on college football last night and my cat died"  Oh...  Continues on to ask if he can get his tithing back......
