Dear Family,

This week was a long week. It was warm though. We went on two mini exchanges with some sisters who are having a hard time. It was very rewarding. We got some lessons with Less actives and funny thing two of them are teenage boys who are searching for the truth. One doesn't know if he wants to know if this is true and the other one is earnestly seeking. I am seeing such a change in the one who is earnestly seeking. It's so cool to see teenagers testing their testimonies.

Still no new investigators. But I know that when the Lord does bless us with some they will be solid. Today we had companionship study with the 1st counselor in our mission and his wife and they gave us some great ideas to help hasten the work and get the wards involved.

Yesterday in Relief Society the teacher gave us a quote which I really loved and wanted to share with all of you...

"There is not one of us but what God's love has been expended upon. There is not one of us that He has not cared for and caressed. There is not one of us that He has not desired to save, and that He has not devised means to save. There is not one of us that He has not given His angels charge concerning us. We may be insignificant and contemptible in our own eyes, and in the eyes of others, but the truth remains that we are the children of God, and that He has actually given His angels invisible beings of power and might concerning us, and they watch over us and have us in their keeping." -George Q. Cannon

I love this quote because I know that this is true. Everyday is not happy in the mission, but I have felt Gods love time and time again for me and for those whom I meet and am so blessed to teach.

I love you all and I'm and grateful for all that you do for me!
