Okay, logistics first, keep asking Maddy about registration dates, i think I'll probably get on next week to see what I need to do about it and then I'll let you know more. Thanks mom!

As for everything else... This was a long week. We've been stuggling to find people for a while now and we're just praying to get more out of our comfort zones to do so. I did exchanges on Friday with Sis. Hudson! It was so fun to be back with her and surprising how easy it was to teach with her, we still have the rhythm down I guess. :) It was really neat, we met with our latest new investigator, Dylan who was less than enthusiastic but the family (who are less active) were so excited and they were bearing testimony to him. It was really neat!
.
While on exchanges we learned the importance of member work. There was a lady we met with from my ward who was sweet as ever and who shared a really neat miracle story about missionary efforts. She had been talking to someone she works with about religion without ever identifying her religion. So the lady she was talking with told her that for the past five years she's been having a dream and she said she thinks it's God speaking to her through this dream. Sister Oaks, the member, said she believed her and that she knows God can speak through dreams. So this lady was surprised and ended up telling her about the dream. She dreamt that she was walking around this beautiful tree, And on the tree there was fruit that was like an orange but Golden. Her greatest desire was to have her family try some of this fruit! So she looked around and saw a long path from the tree with fruit scattered down the path. That's all she remembered. But sis. oaks was astonished and told her she knew someone else who had a dream very similar to that and that it was found in the Book of Mormon and it actually explains what it means in that book. The woman was so surprised, she wanted to read it! So sis. oaks is going to get her a copy of it this week. It was so neat. The Lord really prepares people to hear His gospel and the truth. It's so neat!
.
The rest of the week was fairly good, Beth and Ruth should have a baptismal date next week, Beth is going to pray for a date, she's finally ready! We're so excited for them. as for Minerva, we're still working with her. We just did a family home evening with the family last night and we ended up playing bula, bula haha they all loved it (including my companion) So I'm just spreading the traditions. :)
.
Oh and this last testimony meeting was so sweet. Everyone got up and bore their testimonies about missionary work! And the less active woman we've brought back to church stayed for Gospel Principles class and made so many wonderful comments. Things are looking really good for that family too.
.
Thanks for the emails each week. They really brighten my day. I love you all and hope all is going well back home. I hope the nasty bug has left too. :) Love you! Give everyone a hug and a kiss from me.
Love Sister Maureen Davis
