Happy Pioneer day this week!!!  Can you believe I was on a plane last Pioneer Day?  Hahaha, oh that was a day I will not forget.  We left Provo on Tuesday and got to Berlin on Wednesday.  As soon as we got to the church they took us out ''Finding.''  I felt like the Elder in “The Best Two Years.''  “What language was she speaking?  Oh, I'm in trouble.  That ain't no language they taught me in the MTC.''  Ha I felt that way again 5 weeks ago when I got to Swarzenberg and a lot of people speak Erzgebirgisch.  It's like someone learning English and then taking them down to Georgia listening to people with a thick southern accent.  I can't believe how much has changed in just one year.  Also I can tell you exactly where I was and what I was doing at any moment for the last year.

For now I'll just tell you about this week.  Thank you for your prayers!  On Tuesday we were klinging doors after going by on some contacts.  One of the first doors we klinged was a woman who let us up.  We get to her door.  She doesn't wait to hear who we are.  She said, “Come in and sit down, then we'll figure out who you are.”  We had a great lesson with her and her husband. Despite many health problems they are so faithful and full of hope.  We will be meeting with them again this week.  I believe that was the first time that anyone has just let us in when they didn't previously have some contact with missionaries.  We said a prayer of gratitude after.  The Lord really does have people prepared to welcome us in and hear our message.

We were also able to get one of our investigators to come to the Relief Society activity this week.  She had a great time and loved how happy the sisters are.  We are trying to help her realize that the gospel blesses and strengthens us.  And we can have joy in this life in spite of trials because of our faith.  It is so cool seeing her faith and trust in the Lord develop and grow.  Just like Dad's pumpkins ;)

The weather has been really warm this week.  And suddenly this morning it is hazing and might rain.  Speaking of haze.  How is the Hayes Family doing?  It looks like you all had a great time in Texas!

Well I hope you have a great week!

I love you all!!!!! Thank you for your prayers and faith!!
