July 23rd, 2012


Hey family,

  This week was sooo great.  We had interviews with President and he always says the things I need to hear.  It's like he's inspired or something.  He told he that I'm most likely getting transferred.  I only have two options either Grand Junction or the other side of Denver. I'll find out for sure in two weeks.  I'm excited but I'll have random punch in the gut feelings because I really will miss these people.  I love them a ton and we just keep meeting new people to teach and I already love them alot.  That's the sucky part of being in an area for awhile.  It has its pro's and con's.  
  So like I said before, we've been meeting new people.  Yesterday we finally met a lady named Carmen.  She was a referral from some historic center in Utah.  She had gone with her family and was interested in the Book of Mormon so we stopped by like a month ago but we only met her husband and daughters.  They are AWESOME.  So these past few weeks we've been teaching mostly their daughter Sandra who's 13 years old. She's incredible.  Well yesterday we finally met their mom Carmen.  She asked alot of questions about us as missionaries, what we do etc.  I bore my testimony how I love being a missionary....that it's always been my dream.  She asked us after what we are studying and Hna Pare' said she's going to med school to be a doctor.  Then she asked me and I told her I have no idea...that I can't decide because I'm not really passionate about anything in particular.  She stayed quiet and said "you know..I think you would serve God for the rest of your life if you could....I can just feel the love and joy that you have from being a missionary." I was kind of shocked she said that....that a nonmember who knows nothing about the chuch could feel that.  It was one of the biggest compliments I've ever received.  I was grateful she felt that because it's true.  I totally would serve God in this way forever. And I will. We're getting kicked out of the computer lab so I gotta go. I love you a ton. Til' next week.

Amo.
