Week 53 - WAIT. I HIT ONE YEAR???

temple visitors center! It's so great! Take your friends!

Alright team, so I've been out for a year. You know what that means? Exactly. I've been out for a year. Good talk. This email' s gonna be short because we're going to go and see Michael Jackson's grave. But it was a good week! Sister Escalante and I were able to go to the temple on Tuesday for a meeting with some other missionaries and it was WONDERFUL. I love the temple! We're working really hard on trying to build relationships with members and get them to let us teach their friends! (Side note: share the good news of the gospel with your friends!) And so it's been really hard ( fantastic) work to build the relationships because we're going to all of the activities! So its been a wonderful week and we've also been finding a lot of people on our own and it's a beautiful life to live as a missionary! We talked to this man on the street who's trying to learn English and it was so cute because all he wanted to do was ask us if he was saying words and sentences in English right and holy smokes, our language is so hard. But it was so good. We talked to this guy named Warren who had the coolest gold grille I've ever seen and he thinks that running into us was a sign from God that he needs to come to church. It totally was. We also talked to this man named Ricky who is a vet and he talked to us all about how many religions he's tried out and how he watched a video about how archaeologists found proof that there actually were horses when the Book of Mormon says there were (shocking) and so Joseph Smith isn't a crook! And he watched this video and he kept wondering about where he'd heard of Joseph Smith before and we called two days later. So God has great timing always. 

Alrighty pals. Keep the faith. Don't forget to read your scriptures!

we went to the DI today and I wasn't that impressed because they're everywhere in Utah, but sister escalante is from Canada and so we took a picture!
