Hello!
So much happened his week... Let me try to organize my thoughts!
J----- and G----- are still doing great. We got to go to the
Visitor's Center with them on Saturday and taught them about getting to 
the temple. We explained to them about how after their baptism they need
to set a goal to go to the temple and be sealed a year after. It is
very important to expand people's vision past the baptism, if you
don't progression ceases and converts aren't sure what to work
towards. I promised I would come back next year for the sealing. :)

We had another miracle. The M----- family has still been struggling
and we were set to meet with them on Tuesday night. Just before they
texted us and asked us to meet them at the Visitor's Center. When we
got there we watched a video by Elder Bednar. We thought it was about
the Atonement so we did a big ol lead in about the Atonement and
started it. To our surprise it was all about the Restoration of the
Priesthood.... We were able to tie it in well though and it ended up
leading into a discussion about the Gift of the Holy Ghost. So the
daughters name is O----- and she has wanted to get baptized the whole
time. G-----, the mother, has been a hold up because she just won't
come to work. As we talked we bore testimony that the Gift of the Holy
Ghost will help O----- overcome her emotional problems and receive
peace. Because we have seen that as we talk and the Spirit is there
she is calm and collected but as soon as we close it starts up again.
As we talked we talked about setting a date and we decided to find a
room to pray. We knelt down with them and they held hands and O-----
prayed. She prayed for help in her situation and help preparing for
baptism and closed. Then G---- said, "Do you have something else to
ask? I mean while He's here, because I feel Him here." O----- prayed
again and her prayer was this simple, "Heavenly Father, what day
should we get baptized? In the name of Jesus Christ, amen." We got up
and talked and O----- said October 26th kept coming to mind. They are
now preparing to get baptized on the 25th and confirmed on the 26th.
It's amazing! O----- is in the hospital now and will be for a few days
but G----- came to church yesterday! Miracles happen.

We are going to the Phoenix Temple Open House on Wednesday! The
M----- family is coming, J----- and G----- are coming, M---- and
N-----, and some Recent Converts, D--- and C-----. We are so blessed!

Well, this email isn't the greatest but I hope you have a good week!
We get transfer news on Saturday and I hope I'm blessed with another
transfer in the 18th ward. I love love love you!
