hello family!

it sounds like a busy time getting the bosters off to texas! I still can’t believe you’re moving. the stories about james are so cute. what a cute little guy. he has changed SO much since I left. I hope grandma gibbons gets better! . . .

Well, we’re doing well here in dash point! it seems the work is picking up every week! we found 3 new investigators while tracting today. one girl, D, is our age and has been looking for a job for a long time. we just started talking to her in a parking lot, then ended up praying with her and teaching her a little about the plan of salvation. we prayed that she would be guided to a job. 2 days later we called her and she said, “I got a job! thanks for the prayer!” sadly, the job conflicted with the church tour we’d set up, and we haven’t been able to reschedule, but it was still a cool experience and hopefully she’ll remember it!

We also found a guy in his 20’s while tracting…his name is C. He agreed to hear more! we couldn’t go in since there weren’t any women there, but we prayed on his doorstep. usually I teach the restoration on the door and sister L bears her testimony, but I knew she was ready to teach, so I just turned to her after the opening prayer. the spirit was strong as she told the joseph smith story and recited the first vision. we have a church tour with him on Tuesday and he is really excited!

We had a lesson with a part member family on Friday. Bro N has recently become active again and he’s excited to have his wife learn more. She is a hard-core Catholic from Germany and she is HILARIOUS. she has a thick accent and the funniest laugh. we just love her. she didn’t take to the elders so our first lesson we were trying to build as many bridges as we could. I told her about Dad’s mission and she told us all about her uncle in Dusseldorf. I’m sure you would love her dad. her name is U and she’s having us back next Friday to learn more about our church and to “make us somesing special”….some german dessert or something. good times.

well that just about wraps up another edition! I love you all so much!!
