Some days time just seems to fly by, other days it just goes so slow!  I am super excited and super nervous for what is to come. 2:01! Get an appointment with President King for that same day so that he can release me, too.  Not that I don't want to be a missionary anymore, but that's what we're supposed to do!!

Well everything fell apart this week for the 25th, we'll see what we have to do. Work, I guess that's always the answer.  Work and pray. We do need a few miracles, soon.

We did find a great guy yesterday and right now we are going to go with him and give him the Book of  Mormon.  He has the whole Bible just about memorized. literally. He has a few years since an accident left him paralyzed from the mid back down and he has dedicated the last few years to reading the Bible. But he seems willing to accept our ideas as well, and at least he'll read the Book of Mormon

Yesterday a brother brought a friend called Isaac to church.  Well in Sunday school he started talking about how Christ was a sinner, and that in the oldest french bible it talks about his teenage years etc etc. A bunch of crazy... well garbage.  The ward mission leader (the teacher as well and an ex missionary) told him to read the Book of Mormon and then we'll see whose right.  He has the homework to look for all of the mistakes in the Book of Mormon.  He said that he likes to read so we'll see soon

We also had a great appointment with Daniela and Jaime. We decided to take a fellowshipper with us for the first time with them, and we took Arturo. That was one of the best ideas I've ever received as revelation.  It gave Jaime the confidence to ask his big questions. Polygamy, Blacks and the Priesthood, and some crazy idea about women and their process of baptism and something to do with the bishop.  CRAZY QUESTION!  Our laughter at the absurdity of that idea answered their question that that kind of thing does not happen. And we patiently explained about polygamy and blacks and the priesthood. It was great and they finally seem more receptive to think about baptism and to go to church.  It's great that we could get that one off their chest.

Nobody else went to church yesterday! Super sad. Hopefully some good things can happen this week and we are going to have to give it everything that I've got.  Sometimes, almost always, I am super tired. I'm pushing through, in 4 weeks I can sleep.

I love you a lot and thank you for all of your help and support! It has helped me to keep focused and has definitely made the difference.
