Dear fam,
Well it sounds like this week has been quite the week for you all back home, i saw all the pictures from st. george and easter and it is crazy to see how big the kids are getting these days. It is also good to here about meg and tyler putting in the new yard and dad out on the tractor getting it ready. That is crazy that you guys still got another snow storm but all and all it sounds like this winter has been pretty weak. Well, this has been an awesome week for us. On wednesday we had a miracle happen. So every couple wednesdays we have an intercambio, so my comp went to a different area and then a different elder came and went with me on wednesday. so we left the house after lunch and we went to go find our first appointments we had 3 set appointments and we went over to there house and every single appointment failed us. So i thought, well this is going to be quite the day. And i say to the other elder lets go contact (knock doors). Now, there was two ways that we could go to get to where we needed to contact. And for some reason i felt that we should go this one way that we usually didn´t go. So we started walking and then we got to the street that we wanted to contact and usually we would walk to the bottom of the street and work our way up back to the top. But for some reason on the way walking down the street i said why don´t we just start here. So we stopped at this house and we said buenas, which is short for good afternoon, and there was a lady inside talking on the phone she motioned for us to come in, so we went in. she gave the phone to my comp and said talk to my sister she is a mormon. I guess at that same time that we knocked the door her sister was on the phone and told her that she need to find the missionaries and ask them for a book of mormon. So we sat down and the lady said, what a coincidence that right when my sister said that i needed to find the missionaries, you two knocked on my door. And i said i dont think it was a coincidence i think it was God leading us to you. and she said yeah i think so too. Then she asked us for a book of mormon and me and my comp bore our testimonies of the book of mormon and then gave it to her. We set an appointment with her for this coming wednesday, and were planning to just go back to her house on wednesday. But on thursday the day after all this happened we passed by her house and she was reading the book of mormon when we knocked on her door. She had read all the introductions, testimonies and was on chapter 3 in nefi. She was really enjoying it when we asked her about how the reading was going, and she said that she was going to keep on reading. So we will see on wednesday how far she has gotten. But it was quite the miracle that heavenly father led us to this lady that was ready to recieve the gospel in her life, we were pretty grateful for it. So that was something really cool that happened this week also Dayana is getting baptized on saturday so we are pretty stoked for that. We have taught her everything and she hasn´t had a doubt about anything, she also has been going to seminary at 6 in the morning every morning for more than 2 months and church for almost 3. She is super excited for her baptism and so that is something cool coming up. The Lord has also led us to a couple more cool people in this last week so it really has been just a solid week. Other than that everything is going really good, and stuff is just rolling here in the ward. So i really hope i stay here another transfer but we will see next week. Well anyways, i hope everything is going good with all of you back home. One of the elders that i live with just got an email saying that his whole family is going to the jazz and san antonio game tonight and that it is pretty critical for jazz to win, so i am hoping the boys can get it done. Anyways, i love you all and have a good week this week.
Elder Wadman
