Monetary Miracles

This week has flown by way faster than I ever thought possible! Oh my
heavens I can't believe we are winding down to the last week of the
transfer. This last week was filled with a lot of craziness, so
hopefully I don't forget anything.

On Saturday I went on exchanges with my former companion, Elder Clair!
He lives in our apartment, but he and Elder Hampton cover the southern
part of 1st Ward on bikes, so I got to be on bikes for the day! It was
WAY fun! At one point we took a shortcut and we went underneath a
train! While it was moving! Nah just kidding it hasn't moved in
forever. To end off the night they had a baptism and we got to go!
Can't get enough  of those here in the valley!

Then on Sunday was miracle central. At first it seemed like everything
was going downhill faster than a speeding bullet. Church started and
we had no investigators there! The Sanchez family wasn't even there!
We at first were pretty sad, but then decided to switch from "pity
missionary mode" to "mission impossible missionary mode" and made some
calls. George and the Sanchez family were last because of the time
change! George made it a little bit after sacrament began, and the
Sanchez family came at about 10:30, but then Miguel and us went to the
1st Ward sacrament meeting.

Now that's where the next miracle begins! When we walked into the 1st
Ward meeting a member called for us before it started and introduced
us to a young man named Jacob. Jacob is 20 and is thinking about going
to BYU for accounting, so he decided to come to the LDS church and see
what it was all about! We are now teaching and he is super open to
learning more and finding out if it is true!

Yesterday I got to go on exchanges in Calexico with Elder Rodriguez!
We had a blast and talked to a ton of people! Calexico is so cool and
so prepared to hear the Gospel!

George is still doing awesome, and he has already begun reading in
Jacob in the Book of Mormon. He read half of 1 Nephi and all of 2
Nephi  in a total of two days. I love that man. Miguel passed his
baptismal interview yesterday! He is going to be baptized after Stake
Conference on Sunday! WE ARE SOOOOO EXCITED!

Also, the subject for the email today is "Monetary Miralces" because
the Reillys took us out to lunch, a member paid for our haircuts
today, and the Broadbent family (the sweetest snowbird couple in the
world from Evanston, WY) took us to Costco today and spent.....well
let's just say it was more than I ever imagined. El Centro is the
place to be a missionary.

I love you all mucho! Keep up the great work!
