Carlsbad California October 2013

Mom, Great to hear things are going so good, i am sure you had a great Columbus day haha. Also, yes I did the CD! THANK YOU! I thought i sent you a letter? Thanks! It is awesome i was listening to it last week! IT is great!! Great to hear that you all enjoy your missionaries :) Sounds like the work is going! I am not sure where the CVS pharmacy is, so i will just have to see if we can find it, if not then its all good anyways we can get it next week or something. I hope you all ahve a good time with Chantelle there! That will be fun! I wish her a Happy Birthday. I am truly amazed at the wonderful place we are able to serve. The members here are very loving and supportive. And the miracles just keep coming I am just not sure what to do :) On Sunday they held a fast and testimony meeting and alot of it was about missionary work. We are excited it is a great ward to serve in! The members are great and the nonmembers also :) They are just great about helping the missionary efforts in any way. I will share a miracle of the week. Last saturday night we got done with dinner and started walking to this family on the ward list who we thought could be possibly less active. So we walk all the way there and we get there and a guy in his 20s opens the door and tells us who lives there( a completely different family then we thought however they were active members) but they were out of town and there grandson Kayden was watching the house. He was not a member so we asked if we could just share a 10 min message with him. So he let us in and we talked and shared the restoration and the spirit was there. But rigth before (a minute or two before) we were going to commit him to baptism there was a knock on the door. And we were like ohhh man. darn. But anyways he goes and gets the door and it is his girlfirend as so he comes back and sits down and his girlfirend just watches us. Adn we presume introduciong the Book of Mormon and commiting him to baptism. Teh girlfriend was watching intently so we invited her to sit down with us also.After we finished we offered a kneeling prayer and we got up to set our return appointment and she just looks at us and starts crying and says "Thank you, you guys are so sincere, thank you.... I have not felt like that in a long time" She mentioned how she was a member of another Church that also read the Book of Mormon but it was not the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints. But she said it felt cold there. Anyways it was a pretty cool miracle the spirit was strong and we talked for a little bit longer with her and told her to read the Book of Mormon and pray and we promised her it would help. We triesd to set up a return appointment but were unable to but she felt the spirit and let us know. There are a lot of miracles going on here. Everywhere it is just happening. Heavenly Father is doing his work. Ok sorry dont share any of that. But by the way, our bikes are in Business. Watch out haha we are loving it. Those mirafcles we just shared dont happen all too often so its cool when they do. THat doesnt happen everyday just letting you know moml. :) . California is awesome the members are just greathaha Our regular day is awesome but we are doing alot of Biking so we are hjaving a blast. Our ward mission is awesome. Adn that is great the Chaunceys are awesome the ward mission is the best full of love great correlation
