So i have not been recievingemails from grandma...she is probable sending it to the old adress...sorry ikeep messing everything up. And wow it takes over a week to get yourmail...and i wonder if you recieved anything from me yet. The mail does notcome sat. or sun. here. So yes the weather is still beautifull here! and this place islovely...i love the forrest! and i love our ward...they are so nice. thisold lady with an english accent brought us a costco size box of granola barsto church for us yesterday...she calls me sister Fizz because she thinks iam so bubbly! Ha Ha. Anyway they are my family away from home. So...we had three investigators five investigators at church yesterday!WOW! Deanna who we i talked about in my last weeks letter.....her fiancetook her out to buy a dress for church the day before! She looked sopretty....anyway we are still working with her to stop smoking.. anysuggestions from anybody....i have never dealt with this. but wow i loveher she is so EXUBERANT.....like you know kind of hippie like all aboutpositeve energy and expressing herself thorugh movement....we were meant foreach other ha ha! and she calls us all the time. we meet with her againtonight.... oh yeah so i was the speaker yesterday.....i really wanted to say whatthe Lord wanted me to say and it was about building your testimony...howperfect! i bore a heart felt testimony. so the other guy michael showed up too! he is the one who stopped us onthe street last week to tell us that the BOM was true! so funny! well heliked church but does not want to meet with us till he has read all the BOMso he is busy just converting himself and then BAPTISM! The other guy who was there is this guy we met the day before in thepark.... i told him i was speaking in church the next day and he promised mehe would come...well he did...and he brought me floweres! soo kind of wierdand sounds creepy but its not...ha ha. so he said he wanted to come nextweek to. So it was awesome! we have progreesing investigartors! The Lord reallyblessed us this week becasue we went so hard core! I dont think i toldyou this but we wanted to break the contacting record for the missio whichwas 783....so we fasted last week for it because the law of the harvest saysthat the more people you meet the more baptisms you will have and we havemade a goal to have three this transfer(will you pray for us to be able todo this? thanks) so anyway we got the korean elders involved tooo.....andthey broke it 2 weeks ago with 830.....so we had to up ours......and we didit! we contacted 842 people! can you belive it? we didnt do pday so wecould do it.....and so we met and testified to over 120 people a day! itwas awesome and believe me i am no longer afraid to talk to anyone becauseGod gives me courage! So we hold the record now! But we are challlenging theelders to beet it again! So yes we are working hard and the Lord is blessing us tremendously.yesterday we met with a man and his wife...he has a major in religiousstudies.....so you know its one of those stories....anyway he is soconfused because he is seeking the truth by only using his head...and theLord helped me bare strong testimony about the fact that a testimony comesfrom what you know in your head and more importantly feel in your heart!....and he softened up and agreed that that was important.....so we willlmeet with them again in a while...i think the wife is having a baby likeright now. oh yeah! we have been back to the skate park three or four times....weteach about 12-18 teenagers at a time! we brought them popcycles! so we toldsome of them the story about alma the younger......they cant pay attentionvery long...so it is slow with them....but we really feel that God wantsthese punk kids whose parents have never taught the m anything about moralsvalues or God to know that God loves them and that there is hope...we haveto help them with drugs too...so we will continue to go over therealot...the funny thing is that they actully like us being there and alwayswant us to stay longer. well the church is true........i know that the Lord has a plan for all ofus....and i know why he sent me here.....love, sister flake
