  This week flew by. Kylee we have been teaching got baptized this past week. Mega miracle how we found her. Met her mom at mad dogz bike shop. We git her address. We came back like 5 times. And then she finally allowed us to come. And now she's baptized it was lit.  During it Elder Gardiner and I were giving a little message on the Restoration and I quoted the First Vision and the spirit was sooooo strong. I know that Joseph Smith is a prophet called of God. I know the Book of Mormon is God's scripture. I know Jesus Christ is our Savior. The Holy Spirit has touched my life and that is how I know these things to be true.  I've now been to the Saratoga Springs Temple open house like 20 plus times. It's been so amazing. The temple is the house of the Lord because I feel the spirit so strong inside. It's so peaceful and calm.  One family we brought the mom walked into the Celestial room (a room in the temple to symbolize heaven and being in God's presence) and she ...

  This week has been mega busy but it's been so good.  A lesson that stood out is a guy named Ricardo. E. Tacchi and I found him a few weeks ago. We were teaching him 2 days ago and teaching about the Book of Mormon and it was so awesome because we were telling personal experiences and the spirit was so strong. We were teaching how it witnesses of Christ. We of course asked if he came to know it is true if he'd get baptized and he said yes!! I got mega sick this week but still pushed through and I'm so thankful God gave me strength to do so. I couldn't have done it any other way. I love this work and tryna end off strong so I was a lil mad that I got sick. But God gave me just enough strength to get through!! Last Sunday we were at church and we were running late to another ward Inna different building so we were speed walking thru the chapel. And the ward in the current chapel hadn't started yet but then one guy just stuck out to me so we went and talked to him. Co...

 This week was GREAT!!! I'm ngl I forgot everything that happened this week.  We went to the temple open house 2 times in one day. First we went with some girls we are teaching and their grandparents. It was so funny cause they were like running thru the whole thing haha. Then we went with Johnny and his wife and son!!! Johnny is someone I taught and personally baptized last year! He was the first person I personally baptized. It was so good to see him. He was going thru a hard thing and this really Gave him strength. I was onna exchange with my DL early in the week and he got in a bad bike accident where he snapped him collar bone. He is the most energetic person I've ever met it's tiring just watching him haha. So after he got in the crash we called our mission president and he said he'd be 35 minutes before he could pick us up. So we didn't wanna just sit there so we walked around and a family let us on we taught them and found out they have a son who isn't b...
