Elder F is fantastic! He's really young for a zone leader, but that's ok, we're all learning! He just gets to learn faster than everyone! I'll try to get a picture with him ;) (I can't tell if you're joking about that or not haha) That's crazy with all the Ward stuff going on....and being sick! That's gonna be real tough on the youth program. I'm going to send an email about the week later today! We've got some lessons earlier today so we're doing some of our emailing a bit later. Thanks for the testimony and pictures of the family!

Wow! So this week was amaaaazing! The Lord has blessed me so much this transfer and I've finally realized it! I've been praying for he ability to talk to anyone and the gift had been granted! "Ask and ye shall receive, knock and it shall be opened!" And it took work! It took faith! I had some blunders, but for the most part, now I just open my mouth and it is filled! Sometimes I ramble, but it is filled!
It's great! You would be baffled at my personality now. I'm soooooo different from what I was before the mission it's crazy! And these past three weeks have probably been when the greatest change has happened. Let me tell you about a few of the miracles this week! On exchanges with the AP's I went with Elder C to their area. We had the temple tour, so for the most part the day was shot, but we finished dinner and had a short lesson with a wonderful recent convert named S who is having some struggles, but he is awesome!
Afterwards we went and walked around amongst some complex's and just talked to everyone we absolutely could! We did that for an hour and a half, and on our way back to the car we saw this lady coming out of her car and she started walking down the sidewalk towards us. We said hi and she stopped to talk. I forgot what was said, but eventually we gave her a Book of Mormon and explained that it was something very special to us and it was one of the ways God shows his love for us.
The whole time she had had a small smile on her face and I thought it was the 'your very nice boys I'm not interested' smile, but as Elder C bore his testimony of how much God loves her, I realized she was smiling to try to stop from crying, and she just broke down right there and started crying. We let her cry for a bit and she explained that she was just going through a really tough time. She held the Book of Mormon close and said thank you. Thank you so much for this book.
We got her address and number and set an appointment for Saturday or Sunday....I forgot.
Next! Last night we only had an hour to work, so we not to a complex to visit someone we didnt have a house number for and on the way in talked to two girls. We gave them both book of Mormons and set  return appointments. We then set up 2 more appointments with two other families we talked to! Those are the blessings of talking to everyone!
So that's about it! Sorry this is late, we just got out of an incredible lesson with A and it went a little late. The spirit was so strong!! It was so good we put her on date for......April 6th!!!!
Woohooooo! I'm so stoked. And more good things the rest of the week!
Thanks so much for the testimonies! Where's As?! Can you have hers sent? I want to print out a few this week. Love you!!!!!
