Hello hello hello!!! how are we all today! Im glad you were able to do some stuff with Jenna! dont worry haha you are a fun mom for sure. hahah im sure they enjoyed the time. and ooo! sounds like the new flooring is going along well hahha the dead animal carpet. haha. And yes as far as Josh goes im still praying for him..

and nice on the ghost tour!!! haha sounds like a lot of fun and even BETTER TACOS! Id love for sure to go with you guys when i get home!! but yea its been rainy and cold some days and other days its really warm... but weird. and yea clara said yesterday was her birthday!! shes doing good! She has lots of midterms right now she told me and she is going to the byu games and having a fun time in college it sounds like !! and also dad GOOD LUCK with the race this week!! I know youre gonna kill it!! #beast mode uhn. and also i cant believe we have michael vick haha

well man it was a normal week..pretty tough..lots of walking and i feel pretty worn down. man. yea this week was one of the harder ones and i can definitely feel it. Also today i have exactly 9 months left! crazy right?

anyways this week like i said we did our best to try to find new people and we found a couple of people but they didnt go to church. We had to drop the Bolivar family because they dont want to leave their christian church..its called the Good sheperd or something..who knows... anyways One really good thing was this week moved here a family from another ward that is investigating the church and they went!! its the Garcia family and they are really interested but they are still pretty unsure about baptism so we are trying to see waht to do with that. This week i also did divisions with Elder Riding! he´s from payson as well!! haha it was really fun and we got some good work done and we talked about church stuff and spanish and life all night haha. He goes home in november.

Also another cool thing that happened this week was yesterday in the morning we went over early before church to the Martinez famlies house and we made them breakfast!! I did it with nutella and they really appreciated it!! It was a nice time to talk and see how they are donig and what not. But other than that not much happened this week..

but along with my reading of the BoM and the New Testament ive been trying to read more of Doctrine and Covenants. I absolutley love the History of the Church and its incredible what the first saints did. I found a seminary DVD guide of D&C in the house and ive been going through it and i really enjoyed a part i found in D&C 10. Joseph had given the 116 pages of the original manuscript of the book of Lehi to Martin Harris who then in turn lost them. Joseph had his translating power taken away for a short season and was reprimanded but the power was soon restored after Joseph repented. In section 10 the Lord says that NOTHING can frustrate the work of God. No army or plot or plan or scheme or accusation or tiredness or opposition can stop this work. And obviously we know Jospeh became the prophet as we know him today. I was thinking about that and i know that if the Lord really wanted to He could do the work Himself. But He wants US. His children, normal people like you and me to participate because 1. The Lord is going to win and Satan will fail and 2. so we can progress and become more like Him and more fit for His kingdom. So this week we are gonna go at it again knowing we cant fail! You all do the same! In school, in work, at home, in your callings with friends or family do the right the Savior is surely with us!Pray and read the scrips!

Anyways hope this week goes better! LOVE YOU ALL TEAM MEDEIROS HARD IN THE PAINT!!
