Dear Family and Friends,

2 Nephi 33:10 - "And now, my beloved brethren, and also Jew, and all ye end of the earth, hearken unto these words and believe in Christ; and if ye believe not in these words believe in Christ. And if ye shall believe in Christ ye will believe in these words, for they are the words of Christ, and he hath given them unto me; and they teach all men that they should do good."

This week was sick. Not a whole lot of time to write but I'll be quick. We had a lot of cool experiences and saw a lot of miracles. Kadiatou's pastor showed up at our second appointment with her so that was lame. He actually is Mormon but very inactive and he just threw down on the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith and everything. He claims that God gave him the ability to interpret dreams. Kadiatou just echoed everything he said and so we just testified and left. Fighting and debating with people does nothing and it just drives away the spirit. It was a cool experience though. Definitely a testimony builder.

Right after we left Kadiatou we went and met with Hacer. Hacer is Turkish and she met the missionaries a year ago and they gave her a Book of Mormon but her mom was sick and she was so busy so nothing could be set up. We were able to talk with her about the Book of Mormon, share our own testimonies and personal experiences with it and with Joseph Smith, and invite to read the Book of Mormon and, if she comes to know that it is true, to be baptized. She accepted and invited us to come back again this week. I'm very excited for her.

Lots of other fun stuff happened, including bowling with members on Monday night, having a sick Zone Training on Wednesday (Good job Elder Hosea, Elder Reese, Sister Jensen, and Sister Twiggs!), and going to the men's activity at the church on Friday night and getting destroyed in foosball. It was a great week and I'm excited for this next week. Already the last week of the transfer! It's crazy!

I listened to two great talks this week. One is "Living Worthy of the Girl You Will Someday Marry" by Gordon B Hinckley, and the other is "Remember Lot's Wife" by Jeffrey R Holland. Both super sick. I haven't been able to get Elder Holland's talk out of my head. It's great. Everybody should read or listen to it if you have some time this week. Also President Hinckley did a great job. Big fan.

Love you all and everybody have a great week! Sorry about the Packers but go Patriots!!!
