Hey everybody!

We had a pretty awesome week!

Once again tuesday we had our big training together as a mission and
it was very interesting. Because the mission president goes home the
first week of july he is sort of just pouring all of his love and
wisdom on us and it is really cool. As i feel most are, mission
president are so in tune with the spirit and have so much wisdom that
just being around them you feel great. We sadly don't get to take back
our training as we used to in our zones, because they have asked the
missions to stop doing zone meetings, so I'm not sure what we truly do
as zone leaders anymore haha. But it's fun to be with president.
Then throughout the week we have been blessed with miracles. Sometimes
i can't understand why he blesses us when sometimes we haven't really
done anything to deserve it.  On Wednesday we were going around trying
to find new people to teach because we sadly just dropped everyone
because no one would come to church. So as we are getting back into
the car, this old lady yells at us asking us to come over. So we jump
out excitedly  and start talking to her. Her name is Dominga and she is
68 years old she said she had talked to missionaries is 70's in
Nicaragua but nothing really came of it. She asked us if she could
learn more about joseph smith and his story again! I was pumped, she
invited us to come back Friday. So Friday rolls around and she talked
about how she is just excited to learn more, and how she wants to come
to church and all these awesome things, and lo and behold  she came to
church! It was awesome. We didn't really get to talk to her about her
experience because we had to run to the ysa ward. But we have a
lesson tonight with her at 6!

Sunday morning we also received a text from a random number asking
where and when church was. This woman shows up and says her name is
Griselda. She tells us how she has been a jehovah's wittiness her whole
life, but then she lost her faith in it. She then said she lost her
husband and her job. At first she thought it was a sign but didn't
want to go back to the church. So she said she prayed and prayed and
prayed, and wanted to know what path God wanted her to go on and all
the sudden she found a job, working for a Mormon bishop, and she said
she then took it  as that was her answer and was now going on faith
and came to try it out and said she really enjoyed it. We are going to
her house on Friday!!!

Then even more in the ysa a kid brought a friend to church and is open
to talking to us and learning more! Don't know much more about him
than that but this all happened so quickly and it is incredible to see
how much Heavenly Father is taking care of us.  I think in the past I
would be sad because we would struggle to find people to teach, but I
was sad because we just didn't have much to do, now I feel down when
we do, because I love teaching so much and to not being able to share
it with someone now is what is hard. I love this gospel and am amazed
everyday at how much the Lord loves us and wants to bless us.

Thanks for everyone last week for the birthday wishes they were really
special!😊

Love you guys! Have a great week!
