We had a really good last week. We're doing a 40 day fast with our ward and the members have been really supportive of it and we're already seeing miracles! It's so awesome. On Sat we helped a woman in our ward boundaries with some service. She's in the other ward though so it's different but she's so cool. She had us bring like 120 books from the basement into her car to take to the library. We were going to take them to the Twinsburg library but it closed too early so we decided to take them to the Hudson library. We were on our way and as we go over this bridge she points out that we're leaving our area and we were like ehhhh. Shoot. So we told our DL and he wasn't too happy but we were already there! So we're at the library bringing books in and the lady goes to get a book and is checking out and this man in line sees our Mormon Helping Hands Shirts and asked us where our nearest building was.. We told him it was in Solon and I invited him to come to my talk. He said he would try and then he told us he went to BYU.. It was so weird though because he didn't act like he knew really anything about the church. He didn't end up coming but he said he would this week so we'll see. It was so cool though. We're just hoping he's actually in our area since we were out of our area when we met him.

On Sun at church this girl L. was there and we've been trying to set up a time to come meet with her kids because they're youth. Her mom is a member and her kids are members but she's not. She's met with sisters a lot in the past but never got baptized. So we're at church Sun in class and we realize it was her! She seemed way into the lesson and then after she came up to us and asked when we could meet! We set up our appointment for last night and it was a really good lesson. Her mom was there and her cute kids and we just asked her why she wanted to meet with us and laid out our expectations for meeting with her. She really wants to come closer to Christ and she knows what she has to do so we're really excited to start teaching her :]

Sun night we had dinner at our ward mission leaders house and his daughter is in ysa and had some friends over and one of them was Jonesy!!!!! Did you get the picture? It was fun to see him. We talked about how Chuck was engaged.  And after dinner we went up to sites because I had to say the closing prayer at the fireside. It was President's last fireside and he spoke and it was so good. I love listening to Pres speak. He's just so inspired. Sister B was one of the opening speakers too so I got to see L, S, and E :] We had a lot of fun.

Sites has been busy lately but for some reason everybody else gets tours instead of us. So in the last 2 days we've been at sites we've only taken like 3 tours. It's been kind of annoying because we want tours! We're getting a lot of tour buses in though and it's so fun to see all the people. We just wish it was us taking them.. Oh well, we have all summer to be taking buses.

I love this gospel. It's the best. I love you.
