Eclipse Day!

Hey Family!!!

Hope everyone is doing really good! We're on our way to the hike right

now and we're planning on seeing the eclipse! We got one pair of

glasses to share, so we set! We're going to the U and it just happened

to work out for the eclipse as well! So we're excited.

We had a pretty good week! Right after p-day last week we had to go

and get our broken bikes from a members house that we had left them

at. Luckily we still had the mission van from the hike, so it was

pretty easy. After getting home for the night we had to start

exchanges! I went with Elder Frost to his area. They're going through

a drought in their area, so I wasn't sure what to expect for the day

but it wasn't too bad! We talked to several people that sincerely had

interest and wanted to hear more! It was awesome! All the lessons that

they had cancelled for the day, but we still had some good success!

That exchange was he last one we had to do! It felt great to get it

over with and not have to leave my own bed anymore :)

Throughout the week we did several service projects again! Saturday

was almost an all day service experience. We helped someone move to

Herriman in the morning and then in the afternoon helped a member

family weed their garden. It was exhausting! Then when we got dressed

in pro clothes and went out the member family who got us dinner asked

for help with throwing out some sofas too! So it was a crazy day!

Sunday we had a pretty awesome day. Unfortunately the two lessons we

had planned cancelled, but it was the will of God because we found

several new potential investigators from just talking to people on the

street! Two of the approaches were super miraculous...when we first

walked up they were both pretty cold and it was clear they didn't want

to talk to us. But we just pushed through that a little bit and we're

as friendly as possible. As we began to ask them about their beliefs

in Christ the Spirit came in and softened their hearts. It was

amazing! At the end they both accepted Books of Mormon and the

invitation to read a chapter in it! They also said they would let us

come back. It was a pretty amazing experience!

Well those are some of the highlights of my week! We have a new WML

and he is amazing and is really helping support us and helping get the

ward missionaries in action too! It's super helpful. Overall he work

has been a little slow right now, but we're finding a lot of people

and so we're praying for a miracle week this week so that we can help

hem progress in the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

Love you all!
