Hello! Did I tell you about these kids I wanted to teach? They always open the door for us to this aparment complex we are at, I can't remember if I told you about them. Well yesterday we taught them. They are so great! We had to say 2 closing prayers in order for them to have a turn. We didn't realize how much they didn't know. They didn't even know who Noah was. They don't go to church with their mom when she goes so we are having to start from the very begining. They all got a copy of the Book of Mormon and said they would read it. I really hope they progress but if all else fails at least we taught them more about religion. Hopefully it will plant a seed. My average teaching age just got younger. Haha! I love teaching kids though! We wrote on a post-it note the steps to prayer like this "1-Dear Heavenly Father 2- Thank you for...... 3-Please bless... or Please help me... 4- In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen." The littlest one who is 6 said the most basic prayer "Thank you for my family. Please bless my family" and that was it. I know they are so eager to learn though. I hope we get to teach them again before next Sunday.
 
Yesterday the Elder's had a baptism for the Father of a girl who got baptized a few months ago. We were in charge of the missionary minute. We decided to speak on temples. To me there is nothing better then being a missionary and watching ENTIRE families start on the path that leads them to home to our Father in Heaven. The first step baptism and the second temples. I can't explain the potential I see in these families I teach. I just want them all to take part in the temple blessings. Speaking of temples I GET TO GO TOMORROW!!!!! I am really excited. It is a mission wide event so a few different zones are going. It will be sweet to see the temple here though. I have seen only a handful of pictures. I will be sure to tell you all about it!
 
I am at a loss for stories these days.... And I am not exactly sure all the things I am learning this week... I hate to say it but this might be it for today. My mind is blank. Weird I know! I hope you are all well! Maybe if you have any questions about what I am doing you can send them to me. I don't know what I haven't said that you would want to know more about. I love you all! Have a great week

P.s. The English Elder's update us on that AWESOME guy we found. In the Elder's words "He is legit!" Hopefully things will continue to go well!
