HI! I actually made a list so I know what to write about this time! We have 2 baptismal dates! Woopee!! One of them knows everything in the Bible and asks soooo many questions. I dont think i have ever studied so hard in my life than I do for his lessons!  We are really trying to get him to pray to know instead of find facts!! He likes facts! The other is 17 and has theee cutest little daughter! She is soo sweet! He says he wants to be friends with Sister Frei and I for the rest of our missions...I WAS HONORED!! One of our investigators wasn't home so we taught her kids and their babysitter. We were teaching them about prayer and how you could ask Heavenly Father andything and I asked the little girl "if you could ask Heavenly Father anything what would you ask?" WRONG QUESTION to ask a child hahahaha! She says, "How are people made?" Sister Frei and I looked at each other and didn't know what to say and her brother says "OH I KNOW!" and then just pauses. And I was so worried about what he would say because if you know him,  you should ALWAYS be worried about what he is going to say! But he continued to say "Well first you hafta make the bones and stuff and then put skin on it!" haha Sister Frei and I had a good laugh about that! I love them sooo much! 
We have like 3 more progressing investigators so hopefully they with KEEP progressing hhaha! The BIG road block here is smoking! EVERYONE AND THEIR DOG SMOKES HERE so it is hard to get people to commit to the WOW!  We were teaching one night and my name tag fell off at the beginning of the lesson so i just hurried and slapped it back on and then the investigator asked what this scripture meant and I tried to explain it and sounded like and idiot and that whole lesson was hard! I just felt like such a loser the WHOLE time and I was starting to get all discouraged and think negative thoughts and then at the end of the lesson I looked down at my name tag and it was upside down....I just laughed sooo hard when we got out of there because he probably thought I was such a fool trying to answer all these hard questions with my nametage upside down....I couldn't even be negative anymore, I just laughed and realized when I make mistakes then I should just laugh and try agian! 
Sooo speaking of finding humor in my slef sister frei and I decided that Saturday we were going to just tract ALL DAY LONG! Which i actually like it, but about after like 6 hours of tracting I was so tired and went up to this door and knocked and the lady opened the door and i completely lost my WHOLE train of thought and said "hi we are missionaries can we come in a share a message?" and she was like "Uhh no?" and just shut the door! haha It was really actually funny! Then we saw deer just running through the neighborhood! It happens all the time it is so cool! Everywhere in Michigan is in a forest...but reallly.... 
Then the last story which is the best of all and I really just love Heavenly Fathe! Sister Frei and I were sitting in the car before a lesson and talking about missions and how we have so much help from the Lord and everyone. Then she said "I just know we have gaurdian angels watching over us." And right at that moment a thought came into my head saying, "See, I am here all along the way." And i just KNEW it was Grandma! And I just started crying and I looked over at Sister Frei and she was crying and it was just one of those priceless moments. But I knew at that moment with everything I had that Grandma is with me watching over me! And I thanked Heavenly Father that night for my special gaurdian angel and again I felt so stongly that she was right there with me! I love this gospel soo much! I just know that it is true and even though every day is hard, every day is a miracle and I am extremely blessed to be out here! 
So enough crying... haha... but anyway thanks to madison and mom for being the ONLY ones to write me...the rest of you guys suck....but thanks for the package from the young womens! I LOVED it so much! It is so great to get stuff in the mail!!!! Really though, to get home from a long day of work and have a letter is just....SUCCESS! hahaha Anyways, Thanksgiving was great! I loved going to see different families on thanksgiving!! But I missed EVERYONE like crazy...literally every single person ahahah!!! 
Well,  love you all! The Lord is watching over me and I feel his hand in my work every single day! Sometimes I just think, "Heavenly Father, I am even helping you??" hahah  Love you all... write lots of letters! Happy Birthdays to Maddi and Mitch! Madison is my favorite sister! JK...haha seriously though... I LOVE LOVE LOVE her letters so much! They are the best!! And I LOVE mom...almost too much! hahahah :) love ya'll!
