A Super Good Week ... lots of investigators!

well...new news...
we had a super good week this week, we worked our butts off and we found a bunch of super awesome ppl and we had more investigators at church this week than Franklin has ever had before. we have one family from peru of 3 and a group of brothers from Hondurous and a 2 mexicans and it was super sweet! when we came to church with all the investigators it pulled everyone's eyes towards us, because the sacrament is translated and we go with the english ppl and we walked in and the spanish members were super excited(especially Jesus Cazares a new convert of 6 mo. who is probably one day going to be branch prez.) and then all the english ppl were lookin at us too because we 1. arrived on time and 2. there was a bunch of us walkin in! haha
i am not going to lie though...elder Burrnett was translating and i was down with the investigators and I was on pins and needles because we had 2x the investigators as members and i couldn't sit by them and help them feel comfy and whatnot and i was soo nervous but then it was sooo awesome beacuse the family from peru (Gallardo, mom and 2 daughters) had had bad experiences at church before and so i really was hoping they would have a good one here and a girl stood up to bear her testimony and it was soooooo awesome because it was perfectly the things that the Gallardo family needed to know...and in that moment i felt the spirit super strong and almost felt the words said to me " don't you worry, they are in my hands now"
it was sooo sweet. and in this moment the members kinda paired up with the investigators and i was talkin with the honduranian and the spirit too care of everyone! it was soo sweet all the stress i had left quick and the spirit was so strong that all the investigators left telling us they would come back! haha!
other than that we brock [I think that is just a Freudian slip of Josh's ... he probably meant broke ... but Brock works mighty hard, so therein lies the slip] in our shoes real well tracting tons and tons and we found alot of ppl that were going to teach or have (by this time) ya taught.
please keep in your prayers Ramiro, Kevin, Themis and her family and Sergio. they are all very very awesome investigators that really need your prayers. they all are fighting the world right now and really need the extra help that they can get.
i love you guys and i hope you all had a sweet week! i stinkin loved the package ! it was super sweet except for the fact that Jesus Cazeres ate 3 of my cordial cherries and i about scissor kicked him in the ole' melon for that one~! i love the shirts and pants and i am going to not wear the shirts but to conferences and church only so that they stay white! haha.
also the tape was awesome! there is so much i want to write back to you guys about the tape but i cant...cus there isn't enough time!
mainly this though....
bubba...don't stop,or let up, or not have fun....wrestling is made so that you can learn and have fun and get better...so that means if you think your good enough, ya aren't, but only because you can get better...and if you aren't havin fun, start, cus its not about being bored or not liking it...go and smile and learn and smile and learn and kick sum butt dude! cauwabunga!
and also, try the dollar store because i can still hear the country music on the re-taped over tape haha.
and dad...your starting to sound EXACTLY like grandpa on the tape...your voice is sooo much like his i am shocked.
and i think one of the coolest parts of the tape was hearing mom wash the dishes and talk...it really doesn't matter what is said on a tape but more just saying something..even if it is when your doing dishes hahaha
and also it made me laugh hearing the part that was recorded almost a year ago and hearing michell and ashlyn tryin to talk over bro and sis krohn. and hearing lil kindra use the talents that i taught her! hahahaha

i love you guys tons,
"stay classy"
