Hey everyone! This week was awesome and it just flew right by! We had interviews on Tuesday and Sister Ireland and I are staying together next transfer so we are both really excited about that! But after Interviews we only had 1 appointment scheduled and then we had a bunch of people we wanted to try and get in with and we just said a prayer to help us get in with all the people we have planned. So we went to the first one and got in...and the second and the third... and so forth. And at the end of the day we got in with EVERY person we tried and we taught 9 lessons! We had 10 scheduled and the only reason we didn't get the 10th person is because we ran out of time! So it was a wonderfully exhausting day...the next day we were soo tired! But it was definitely worth it. We have a baptism this Saturday for Jay and he's so happy I love teaching him. He's mentally challenged so we wanted to make sure he was accountable first and when we first started teaching him we weren't totally sure. He knows a lot and knows right from wrong, but it's like teaching a child so it was different. Then he told us about this dream he had that Jesus told him to follow him so he did and then Jesus went through a gate and shut the gate behind him and Jay didn't know how to get through the gate and that was the only way to get to Jesus he said. so.... if anyone is familar with 2 Nephi 31 we know Baptism is the gate. It was a neat experience and it confirmed our decision for him to be baptized. This week was really busy and we were able to teach 30 lessons. I love being busy but it makes the weeks go by so fast! I am almost half way done! It's insane I don't like it....We have transfers next wednesday but since we're staying together that doesn't matter much. For Christmas, a family in the Bryan English ward invited the whole zone over for breakfast! That was sure nice of them I thought...so that should be fun! And for thanksgiving this lady that we and the bryan elders and university sisters give service to invited us over for dinner so we're all going there so that should be reall
