Hey hey hey!

This week was full of lots of ups and downs. Rose and Richard kept canceling on us and seem to be going down hill. I'm super bummed but still hopeful. Literally every single one of our appointments fell through this week which is a total bummer. It was just one thing after the other and by Thursday I was feelin kinda low BUT, like it always happens, something good came out of it. We found two new investigators! One of them we found while looking for a less active. We asked if she lived there and he said no so we just started talking to him instead. We gave our brief run down and then ended by asking if he wanted to learn more. to my total surprise he said yes! it took me be surprise and for a few seconds I didn't even know what to do. No one has ever actually said yes to me before haha. So, we taught him the Restoration right then and there and he liked it so we set up another appointment the next day. Unfortunately he wasn't home the next day, which was disappointing, but while we were walking away my comp was brave enough to go talk to his neighbor who was super busy running to her car to get somewhere. I didn't want to bother her but she said we could stop by the next day. I didn't think much of it but when we went back the next day she said that she wanted to learn more and was looking for a church for her family. How cool is that?! We are going back next in a couple of weeks when her schedule dies down so I'm feeling more hopeful. Oh also.....TERA IS GETTING BAPTIZED!!!!!!!!!!! She finally got the approval from the first presidency and now all that is left is to pick a date with her on Wednesday. We also have to get it done soon because she is due to have her baby in less then a month haha.  She has waited so long and has been such a trooper with the whole process so I'm pretty dang excited for her. But yeah, lots of ups and downs this week but in the end it turned out pretty great. Opposition in all things, right?

I just got an email from my old comp and she told me that her first day there she fell off of her bike and fractured both radio discs(whatever that is) haha......no not haha..it really sucks for her and I'm sad she can't ride her bike but I thought it was kinda funny ....and on her first day too. She is doing good though. I also love my new companios. We have a blast together. She is the crazy outgoing one and I'm the quit, sensitive one, so we compliment each other quite well. We also have the same sense of humor and like to quote the exact same movie quotes so we find ways to jazz thiings up a bit.

I've been learning a lot about hope this week. On hard days that's really what you have to hold onto. Hope is very often misunderstood. Most people use the word hope in the context of something you wish might happen, but really, hope is an abiding trust that everything will work out and having a good attitude and trust while you wait for it to come, because you know that it actually will come. Preach my Gospel explains it a lot better haha. Out here when things don't always go so well you have to have hope that another door will open, and it always does. You have to hold on though until it does come and that isn't always easy. I would encourage you all to study about Hope this week. You'll be amazed of how much you will learn. Everything really does turn our though. God is truly aware of us.
