A picture is worth a million words! I love this picture so much! John is the one in the back and he got baptized on Saturday August 15th! We were so excited that his mom was able to come and that Alexza was able to baptize him! Words cannot even explain how special of an experience that was to have our recent convert introduce his best friend to us and then a month later baptize him! The spirit was so strong. 

One thing that I really love about this story is that Alexza had the courage to share the gospel and he was an example to John. He was never pushy he just cared enough about him to share something very precious to him with him. We never know how big of an impact we may have! Miracles are waiting to happen we just have to help them along and have faith that they will come!  I have to strongest testimony of that! 

Another cool experience of the week! 

Last night at about 10:05 we got a phone call from the Assistants to the President and we panicked! One does not simply just get a phone call from the AP's! As we talked to them all they did was praise us! They got our numbers from this last week and they were impressed! Sister Edwards and I work really well together! We had really good numbers and they told us that they were grateful for all our hard work and they knew that we were being diligent and obedient! It was an incredible compliment! They were like "Sisters how do you do it?" haha it was funny! I really love being a missionary!! 

Sister Edwards and I adopted a cat for a while. haha we named it Po! It was adorable!

​This week in the Book of Mormon I learned how important it is to not murmur! Remember when Nephi broke his bow and Lamen and Lemuel's had no spring and everyone was complaining and freaking out because they were like ahhh we are going to starve! Nephi was like calm down God will not let us starve and he went and made a bow and asked God where he could find food. I love this because if we just sit and complain we will not get anything done! WE MUST ACT!! Don't dwell in self pity try to better your situation! That really hit me! God will never leave us we are the ones to leave him. He is always there ready to help us at anytime! 

As we fully engage ourselves into the Lords work we will experience so much joy! I cannot even explain how much happiness I have experienced in these 4.5 months! This is exactly where I am suppose to be. God has a plan for each and every one of us and he will show us where we are suppose to go if we will let him. I have learned that when we ask for counsel we must act on it. If we don't what is the point in asking?? 

I hope you are all enjoying these last few weeks of summer! Missionary Roasting season is coming to an end and soon fall will be here! I promise you I will have tons of pictures Fall is going to be gorgeous here with all the trees! 

I love you all and appreciate all your support! Have a fabulous week!(:
