Either the weeks are getting shorter or we went through a time warp. I seriously woke up this morning thinking it was only Wednesday. Nope. It's Monday. The subject line is a direct quote from Sister Mueller.
This week was amazing! For starters, JENNIFER IS GETTING BAPTIZED!!!!! On Thursday, we were teaching her. We were talking about eternal families, and I had the thought to invite her to be baptized. I did NOT want to, but something (the holy ghost) basically forced the words out of me. And she said yes! She actually got really excited and said that baptism is something she had been thinking about. It's amazing to me to see how she's changed. Missionaries have only been teaching her for as long as I've been here which is only 3 weeks. I'm so excited for her to be baptized hopefully on the 13th.
This week was also zone conference. I was the pianist for it, and Sister Mueller and I did a special musical number. One of the topics for the conference was diligence. If anyone wants an awesome study topic, study diligence. It means a lot more than what your first thought of it is.
We had another finding miracle this week. We had a member referral for the last 3 months that would never answer when we tried to contact her. We decided to try one last time on Tuesday. She answered and was super excited. She is looking for a church and viewed our call as an answer to prayer. We have an appointment with her this week. It was awesome.
Fun thing from this week, we had dinner with an awesome family last night. While we were there, we found out that the Sister went to college with my Aunt Wendy. They were in the relief society presidency together. It's a small world after all. (I'm sorry if that song is now stuck in your head.)
Don't forget the words of Elder Holland. the first great commandment is to love god with all of our heart, might, mind and strength. But the first great truth is that God loves us with all of His heart, might, mind, and strength. And I love you too!
God is Good!

P.S. Sister Mueller and I have decided that this week will be a gratitude week. We will only pray to thank Heavenly Father and we won't ask for anything. I'm challenging all of you to do the same. I predict that we will see miracles this week if we show our gratitude to Heavenly Father.
Pictures!
