The members here are great missionaries

This past week was great! Michele and Emma are progressing quickly. Both came to a Baptism on friday and emma came to another one on saturday. All of our lessons with them have been in members homes which makes such a huge difference! This area is going to change how I use members and teach investigators. I've seen that if you start an investigator off with a member being present in a lesson and you have great fellowship for them, they progress super super quick and it works so much better. Honestly in this ward the missionaries help the members do the missionary work instead of members helping missionaries. Thats how its supposed to be, and this ward is starting to do it. Both Emma and Michelle were found through members. So awesome.
Tonight at 8 Michelle and President Woodbury are having an interview at the church. She just needs to talk to him about a few things and get them off of her shoulders. Shes great. Gonna be an awesome Baptism. She's taking everything super serious. 

Not much else has happened this week. Elder Jensen and I are getting along great. He is super funny and is a goof ball. He's pretty quiet during lessons but he is good at contacting people on the streets and is very sincere. 

oh and today I hit my 8 month mark haha This past month has gone by kinda slow for some reason but thats ok! Can't believe I am a third of the way done with my mission! I've been kinda homesick lately, we have a couple of Elders in our district that are going home in 3 weeks and they talk about it a lot and I just get kinda jealous of the things they are going to be doing in 3 weeks. I miss home a lot sometimes. But...then I remember how awesome my mission is and I forget about everything else! I love my mission! Its hard a lot of the time but its super fun and we have awesome stuff happen to us all of the time. 

I love you all so so much! Have a great week!

P.s- the pics are of us driving somewhere in the car and the other one is my wood chair that broke when I leaned back on it. It was already kinda broken when I first got here and one day it just randomly broke on me. Scared the crap out of me...
