Hello Fam! Just another day in paradise! I think that if paradise meant "heat" then that would be an accurate, because that is exactly what it is like here. As if that is big news for you guys. I think you know that it is hot here. I feel like that;s all I talk about haha. But anyways, this week has been good. I am like super tired though, so hopefully I can take like a ten minute nap later today to get recharged for the week. 

This week we had a few cool things happen. One we have been teaching an investigator for a couple of wweeks now, and yesterday he came to church! He was going to come one sunday but then he got a cyst on his foot and couldn't walk, then the next sunday his friend who is a member wasn't coming, so he didn't come too. But yesterday, he came by himself. Then a less-active that has only come to church for two sundays, but we taught him yesterday and he said that he read 2nephi 31:14 and it described him so he needed to come back. Well anyways, that returning member fellowshiped our investigator and really made him feel welcome. it was really cool to see that. This returning member is understanding better than some other members what it really means to be a member on this church. It isn't just to do your own thing, with your little group of friends. But it is to love everbody and bring everybody unto Christ. Not just the people that dress like you or like the same music as you. But it really made me so happy!!!!!!

Then we have this less active family, the Lim family. They dad is the one that would come to church every sunday. Which is weird because usually the men are hard and dont want to come to chruch but the women aren't... sorry men. But it this case, he was the one that was always coming to church. Then we have been teaching them and sister said she can't leave her store, even on sunday. But two weeks ago she came the chruch and they even brought their kids. The dad said if sister doesn't come to church then the kids don't want to too. But the past two sundays they have been coming to church. Then last night we went and taught them and brother said that in the morning he told them, lets not go to church today, but sister said, we are going! So guess what?? They all came to church again. 

Just seeing these little miracles really makes me so happy. I hope that you guys are having a great day. Have fun in Jackson this week. Love you all. This church is true! Jesus Christ is our Savior and this is his church and kindgom on this earth. Love you all!!!!!
