Week 43

Well I can not even tell you how excited I am to be able to serve in Vail again! I think I officially have my favorite area! I love this place with all of my heart! Th reason I love it so much isnt even for the place though, even though it is beautiful. But the reason i love it is because of the amazing people that are here! This week! I started off the week on Tuesday by waking up at 3 am and driving to denver! That was quite the experience! I havent been in a big city for a looong time! Poor Hermana Garcia, I think she thought that we were going to die, I forgot how to drive in a big city, and I didnt really know how to drive in a big city too much in the first place! If I ever do serve in Denver it should be interesting, I am praying I can stay out West my whole mission though, we will see! Then I picked up my new companion Hermana Haycock and said goodbye to Hermana Garcia! I truly am going to miss Hermana Garcia I learned a lot from her and we had so much fun doing missionary work together in Vail! BUt I am super excited to be working with hermana Haycock. She is from Grantsville, so from my the beloved state of Utah! And she likes to play soccer and the violin! And my favorite thing about her is that she is a hard worker. It has been great working with her in Vail! 

    So this week we saw A lot of people and got some great new investigators! On Saturday we had like no appointments because everyone was at these Go Pro Mountain Games in Vail. But that is okay because we did some great tracting and found some great people! I am especially excited because we found this girl named Ruth and she actually was taking the lessons in Puerto Rico when she moved here! I love when Heavenly Father leads us to those who are ready it is my favorite thing! We also had an amazing miracle happen this week with Paige Romery. We had a lesson about the plan of Salvation and we ended up talking about how the only way you can get a testimony and know something for yourself,  is through the spirit and by asking god. So Paige knelt down and gave the most sincere prayer i have ever heard on my mission. And the spirit was so strong. Immediately after the prayer I asked her how she felt and she said that she felt like she knew the path she needed to take for her life. And we asked her what that path was and she said "I need to join the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints." And so we both were shocked and gave her a baptismal date right then and there. I am so happy for her and that she has made the decision to follow Jesus Christ and Know her Savior more fully!  And she also came to church this week again, and she loved all of the lessons (especially the Word of Wisdom). She said that if everyone lived the Word of Wisdom the world would just be a better place. (I thought that was an amazing unusual thing to hear in Marijuana smoking Colorado.) Also at church me and hermana Haycock were asked to give talks. And the topic was on how we can know Our Savior. I loved giving this talk, because honestly i can not imagine a better place to know your Savior than on your mission. 

     And this Sunday Gael got confirmed. I was honestly in tears listening to his confirmation. That amazing kid has come so far, and he knows his Savior now. I love helping others to know their Savior. And his confirmation blessing was truly inspired and guided by the spirit. it was exactly what he needed to hear! I can not wait to go to his mission farewell someday! ( he thinks he is going to Australia!) 

   That is about all of the updates for this week! Just know that I am truly happier than i have ever been! I LOVE THESE PEOPLE HERE!!! I am thankful for all of your support. Thank you for always helping me and introducing me to the Savior through your examples! Do something this week to introduce someone else to the Savior! I love you all so much! Have a great week!!!
