The Caverns are COOL!


Last Monday at the caverns was so cool! I was amazed at how detailed this world truly is. Even underground it's beautiful! And it truly felt like we were in a completely different world! The two pictures I sent were from inside the caverns, you can barely tell how intense they were, but it was so cool! They were huge!! It took us like an hour and a half to walk through it all. And I may have slipped and almost fallen to my doom...but we're all good:)

Also, sad new Dezire didn't end up getting baptized this week:( She just wasn't ready. But some day and we're still going to work hard with her to be ready! Because literally, the only thing that seems to be holding her back is that she wants to "want" to be baptized. She believes it's all true.  She loves the gospel, and she is so solid. She just isn't actually excited, so she's waiting until then. Pray that if something is wrong, we'll be able to help her!

The Kings, one of our favorite families, moved. It was so sad! It was probably for the best, because they are going to be close to family, but we will miss them! They were doing SO well and progressing SO much. Hopefully they stay strong and one day make it to the temple!

We also got to go on splits this week with our relief society president and visiting teaching coordinator. It was so much fun! It was weeeeeeird to not be with another missionary, but I love the women of our ward, so it was great. It was my first time ever on splits! And we did some great work. We were able to contact a lot of people that haven't been seen in a while, and we just had fun the entire time. 

This week flew by and I cannot believe how fast the transfer has gone. We have been contacting a ton of former investigators this week, and we have met so many amazing people through that! One lady was so sweet.  She let us right in and was excited to meet with missionaries again. The crazy part was that the next day, we were cleaning out trash from our car and we found this flyer for a house that we had grabbed to see how much stuff costs here (sorry, random tangent of the story). ANYWAY, we looked at it and she was the one selling it! It had her name and face on it! We couldn't believe it! God had been pointing her out to us for a long time, and we didn't even notice! I'm just glad we finally got there:) God just had to practice His perfect patience with us for a few days.

Also, today we saw the coolest miracle ever! We had to take my companion to the clinic here in town, and when we went to pick up her medicine, they hadn't properly sent in the prescription. After a lot of confusion and a frustrated companion, we ended up back at the doctors just in time to run into someone we've been trying to contact, plus we met this amazing guy who really wanted to know about the gospel! We have appointments with both of them now:) My companion and I walked out of the doctor's office and both looked at each other in total awe. God is always leading us. This work is amazing and I love being a part of it! MIRACLES PEOPLE! SO MANY MIRACLES!

I love you all and I hope you have a great week and a happy fourth!!
