ALLERGY SEASON IS KILLING ME!!!! I just wanted to share that, as I
sneeze and cry here at this computer :) I think it's actually the
grass...I swear, every person in this entire city cut their grass this
weekend, and they didn't use bags, cause they were lazy or
something...But yeah, I'm draining out of my face right now haha.

Anyway, it has been a great week! We found 3 new wonderful people to
share the Gospel with, and that makes me very happy! Plus, not to
mention the great lessons we had with Paster Ryan, Bonnie, and Taylor,
throughout the week. It's been a pretty good, hardworkign week.

Pastor Ryan asked us great questions, and we really enjoyed our time
with him. We're not sure when the next time we will be meeting because
his schedule is getting hugely busy these next couple weeks, but he
wants to see us again before he leaves. He's super awesome. We gave
him a great talk from Elder Holland and I think he'll really enjoy.
He's been really enjoying all the things we share, and he tells all
his friends about us haha! It's so cool! :)

Bonnie is doing great. She is going to put some real deep time in the
Book of Mormon, so we probably won't see her for at least another
week, but she asks great question, and she is struggling with some
ideas, but she is willing and open to find out for herself if the Book
of Mormon is true. She is one of those people who sometimes asks
questions that take everything off course a little bit, but they are
always very good questions.

Taylor is a new investigator from last week. She rocks! She is a
college student and she downloaded the entire standard works plus
Preach My Gospel and she has been reading through a lot of it,
although she is using some assistance from non-credited sources online
to bring out unimportant concerns, but we were very clear on the
answer to most of them that she found(and that is, if the Book of
Mormon is true, which of these questions would you still be asking).
We rerouted her focus on asking the more important question of is the
Book of Mormon the word of God, or is it not. None of the other
concerns are incredibly important, because the Restoration was a
restoration of truth, not bringing what everyone else thinks is true
into one pot, and the Book of Mormon is the proof that one can come to
know, independent of what anyone else says...it's an individual thing.
We are meeting again on Thursday.

We also met with a wonderful family on Saturday. Elder Taft felt
inspired that we stop by at the time we did, and who would of guessed
it...they needed our help right at that moment! It was cool! We taught
a lesson after doing some service, playing basketball, and having
lunch! It was just fun...they are a really great family, and are
pretty committed on experimenting on what we are sharing. We'll see
them again this weekend.

Anyway, not sure there is much else to report! I love you all! Have a
wonderful week!
