Ok, sorry. I don’t know how but I got a little excited and sent that early. The week went really well and we had some cool miracles happen. Here’s what I wrote to President:

This week went very well! We had an awesome miracle with a less active family. We have been visiting them since last transfer. The mom loves having us over and is returning to church, but the 14-year-old daughter refused to even come out of her room for the closing prayer in our first visit with them. Over time she started coming out to talk with us a little, then participating, and then agreed to read some of the Book of Mormon. She left on Saturday to visit her father in Austria for the summer, and at the end of our wonderful lesson the day before, she asked, "I think I want to try going to church while in Austria. How could I find out where the chapel is? Do you think it would be ok for me to go even though I don't speak German?" We were blown away at her question and arranged to email her instruction on how to use the chapel locator and keep in touch with her while she is gone.

We also have an investigator, Natércia, who has accepted everything except the law of chastity. While trying to take away those doubts we continued teaching everything and she is making progress. She called us on Saturday, out of the blue, to confirm that it was fast Sunday and ask if she could pay her fast offering and said, "I feel like God expects it of me." Now we are focusing on getting her to feel that about chastity as well!

Also, we went and taught the 16 year old daughter of a recent convert and the lesson was awesome! She’s so confused and curious and just doesn’t know what she believes but she is golden. And she is obsessed with the band 30 Seconds to Mars, so we became friends real quick.

Also, last night we had a really cool lesson in which an investigator made me do some really weird meditation stuff which was really sweet. She told me all the psychological reasoning behind my back pain.

Good week all in all.
Love you!
