YAY I was accepted! That’s awesome! haha I’m still going to USU though so go ahead and sign up for classes. This week has been kind of crazy. At transfer meeting we found out we are not only covering the MV ward but also the C YSA branch that covers only the stake. Soo we have a little extra work there. President doesn’t really want us to spend much of our time there though because he wants us to focus on the family ward so that’s what we are going to do. We went to sacrament at the YSA branch though yesterday and to a meeting before that. So we had our family ward meeting at 7, sacrament at 9, Sunday school at 10:15, YSA meeting at 11:00, Sacrament at 1, appointments at 3, and 4, dinner at 5, appointment at 6:30. It was a busy day but I felt like it was a blessing from the Lord. Other neat things from this week as you already heard. Our mission is getting split and they are creating a new mission! It’s really crazy!  The funny thing is that it’s changing on July 1. So I will have a new mission president and a new mission for the last 4 weeks of my mission haha kind of funny.

We also saw a few miracles this week such as we went to see a less active who someone in the bishopric told us to go see but he said not to tell him that he sent us. Well as soon as we got out of our truck he was standing in the front yard and asked if we were looking for him and invited us in. He was disfellowshipped many years ago and was kind of stubborn about coming back well he told us that he was ready. He has had a change of heart and is ready to be back. He said it kills him every time he does go to church and he can’t take the sacrament. That’s a good sign. So we are going to be working with him and re teaching him the lessons. He also came to church on Sunday! That was a nice surprise!

So we get to the S’s and they let us in and what do you know. Last time I challenged them to bring a friend to the next lesson and guess what! They did it! We taught a really good restoration lesson and the friend was asking awesome questions like "Well how are WE supposed to know what church is right," right before we talked about Joseph Smith. She was listening and being involved and it was just really awesome. She ended up as a new investigator and she promised to read and pray about the Book of Mormon. She seems like she might be pretty solid too! So that was a really neat experience!

Also one last thing! There were 4 children being baptized on Saturday and Elder B and I were asked to do a little talk while the kids were getting changed. Well we got there and one of the kids who we had taught because his family was partially less active was getting baptized and he doesn’t have a father in the picture. Well turns out he wanted me to baptize him! So I had a baptism pretty randomly haha It went really well and had a good turnout. Anyways that’s about all for this week! I love you so much! Have a great week!
