Only got 8 minutes to write this letter (put the title line to music and it sounds cool)

Alrriiiiiiiiighty!! 

This week was so good.

 Miracles galore. Here's a highlight reel, and the greatest picture of a missionary you've evah seen. 

Recent convert at a lesson, spirit supah dupah strong. 2 investigators passed their baptismal interviews and are getting baptized this Saturday!!! (That's the biggest highlight: seeing the absolute joy they have about this gospel.) Will never ever have an excuse to not go to church again. Stanley Austin, one of the members here, came in this past Sunday, weezing for 15 minutes just from coming up the steps, but he came. Then he died the next day. If someone can come to church to renew their promises with God the day before they die, then you can go too. One of our investigators has adamantly refused to pray for a long time. So, we had an incredible lesson on prayer--she still didn't want to say it, so we asked one of her children. He turned to his mom and said "mom, you've just gotta say it." She did, and it was one of the best prayers I've heard in a very long time. I love the spirit :') Had an AWESOME lesson at the Hugentobler's home with Elizabeth (getting baptized this Saturday) about the book of mormon. Annnnd now the Hugentoblers want to have a lesson at their home every week. There are normal members, then member missionaries, and then there's the Hugentobler family. Here's a challenge for everyone! Have at least one missionary lesson a month in your home with a non-member. There's nothing that will increase your excitement about missionary faster than increasing your understanding of the Doctrine of Christ, and this is the perfect way to do that :) Had an incredible lesson about the higher law of living with one of our investigators this week as well :) Elder Bednar puts it best: "The standard is clear. If something we think, see, or do distances us from the Holy Ghost, then we should stop thinking, seeing, hearing, or doing that thing. If that which is intended to entertain, for example, alienates us from the Holy Spirit, then certainly that type of entertainment is not for us. Because the Spirit cannot abide that which is vulgar, crude, or immodest, then clearly such things are not for us. Because we estrange the Spirit of the Lord when we engage in activities we know we should shun, then such things definitely are not for us." The rest of the week was a blur; but HUGE SHOUTOUT TO JESSICA!!! HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY YOU FANTASTIC PERSON YOU! :)
