===========================

Sorry this is going to be super brief! 

So, the VIP week was amazing! We got to meet President Hinckley's family, and there was a lot of ministers from other faiths who went through as well. The first day of the open house for the public was Saturday, and it was so busy! We also got to through and give the tour to a few of our investigators, and it was great! One of the stations that we work at is in the reception area, where we can answer questions. I seriously love it, especially when those who aren't members ask all of these different things, and you can just tell that they felt something while going through. :)

This past week, we found this amazing new investigator, Page, in one of our married student wards, and it's so interesting because she took the discussions once before, and nothing ever came from it. But when we happened to knock on her door just last Tuesday, her husband even felt strongly that maybe she's ready. Last night when we had a lesson, we first talked a lot about the meaning of "real intent" and Page admitted that she still struggles with prayer, and how a good few years back when she was meeting with the missionaries, she didn't really want to know for herself. The spirit was super strong, and she said that she really feels ready this time! They mentioned how just in church, an area seventy chose to attend their ward, and said that he felt impressed that his message was just for one person. He then talked about covenants (baptism included) to a ward for mostly all endowed members, and how that just took place right when we showed up! I just have such a strong testimony that Heavenly Father looks after each one of us!

So much has happened and yet I don't have anytime! Just know that things are looking up with some of our investigators, and quiet a few less-actives that we just recently started teaching are coming back! 

I love you all, and know that I have a testimony of our Savior, of Joseph Smith, and the restored Church. I got to memorize The Living Christ a few days ago, and it's so incredibly powerful!
