Hey!
This week we were able to go to the trail center again this week, and I am so grateful for having it in my mission. We have gone a lot lately and it's so cool that they have so many things that we can take people to. The Spirit is so strong there. It's about as close to the feeling in the temple without actually being there. And it's so great! We took an investigator. They have a really cool art show going on this month depicting Christ's life and the pioneers' journey side by side and it is so incredible. Again the Spirit is just so strong there. Not sure how much our investigator liked it but after we went we decided that the elders would be able to relate with him a lot better than us. So they are going to start teaching him now.

We had a huge miracle this week! We were trying to have a lesson with this girl, Jessica, that we have been trying to teach. A member in the ward had referred her. She is a teenager, but as we were talking to her, her dad Brian just blurts out "Can I come to church? I really want to try it out and see what it's like". Of course we were floored and told him of course and we showed him how to get there. He came and stayed for all 3 hours and knew like all of the ward! We were told that the lesson in Priesthood really touched him. We have an appointment this week and he told Brother Dahl who is a ward missionary that he will be back next week and he is going to bring his daughter!

And Sarah is still moving along great! She doesn't have a baptism date right now. She  was set to be baptized this weekend but we all felt like that was just too soon. She is still super excited to be baptized though. She will always talk about when she is baptized or after she is baptized. And she is moving along in the church really well. She seems to love it. She actually started Young Womens this week. She is going back to start her senior year next week. She is so excited about the program and mutual and all the activities. She is so amazing. She has had to deal with a lot of really extraordinarily hard things in her life, especially for only being 19. But she deals with them amazingly. And she is just moving along great!

Love you!
