Hey everyone,
This week has been a good week. Things here are getting crazy since we get a new mission president soon. Our mission president goes home July 3, when our new one arrives. Also the missionaries that go home this month leave a week early then the new missionaries and transfers happen a week later then normal so everything is all thrown off and no one knows whats going on here. We just had mission conference on Wednesday. It was great. Sister Bahr spoke to us about families, and it was really good. The Bahrs have a handicap daughter and she said something that really stood out to me since my cousin Kate was handicap and just passed away. James E. Faust once said " the handicap are not here to be tried but we are." This week I also read Moroni 8 in the Book of Mormon. Little kids or the handicap are the most pure. They are not capable of sin but we are. Because of the atonement they are made whole in Christ. What an amazing blessing from the Lord. The plan of salvation is so amazing. If we follow Christ and do what we need to do we gain eternal life and can live with our families forever. It's amazing how many people don't understand that and it's so sad to see. We went to lunch this week to this place called Polish Kitchen. Wow, was that good and super cheap. It's been so much fun to eat food from all over. I am so excited for July 3rd. Rico and Norman both are still looking good for baptism on that day. I would ask you to keep them in your prayers. Lastly, we had a great experience on Thursday. It was 8:00pm and we didn't know where to go. It was our walking day so we set down on someones steps and prayed for help. When we finished praying this girl walked by crying and we both felt like we needed to talk to her. We still don't know what was wrong but we taught her the restoration, about families, and the atonement and after she said that is what she really needed. It was an amazing answer to our prayers. We have been seeing a lot of good things happen. We are just dying from all this humidity and heat or all the rain. It's horrible.
Love, Elder Sanders
