Great week in Carlsbad

So i just thought i would write this real quick. Its been another great week here in Carlsbad! I have a funny story that I forgot to tell you in Temecula, but we ate dinner with a family in Temecula last night and they reminded me of it haha. When we were in Temecula we were invited into a Deacons Qourom class to share a little about preparing for a mission and then a hilarious thing happened haha. In the Deacons Qoroum there was a Less Active kid that thhe Qoroum had been trying to reach out to. And so in the middle of the class and while we were discussing missionary work i said: So how are we doing on fellowshipping that Less Active kid Hunter? (Something like that) Anyways haha he was in the room. sitting right next to us. HAHA awckward. Good times as a missionary. Now we looked back last night busting up laughing haha good times.
 
 But on a more spiritual note we were able to see some sweet miracles this week. I will share two. But we got a referral from a member in the ward two weeks ago. Her name was Maxine and she watches General Conference and may read the Book of Mormon, however she is still not a member and has not visited with missionaries for probably over a few months. She is an Elderly lady. So we knock...and then we come back and knock...and then we knock again a few days later and we finally catch her but she was sick with the Flu and some sickness that she had had for two weeks straight. She said that not one minute before we knocked on the door she had been in her living room praying asking god to get better or something and then we knocked on the door. Cool. Story but she sadi come back later in the week so we thought alright we will try it out. Well we go back last Friday and she opens the door and she said something like there are my two angels haha. But anyways she said as soon as she opened the door too us a few days earlier she started to feel better and has been feeling better progressivley ever since. So hopefully we will go teach her soon. Heavenly Father knows what he is doing that is pretty cool.
Also Elder Ballard asked that all missionaries and member offer a kneeling prayer together to pray for missionary experiences. So we did that yesterday because our stake has asked us to. Spirit was there. So reach out to the one between now and Christmas.

Have a good week
