Can I just say that I love the
people here?
I love everyone!
They are amazing!
On Wednesday we got to see
Mindy and Wesley :) She took us out to lunch at The District and got to eat at
Rachel's Kitchen (Mindy's favorite place). Mindy is getting baptized on
Saturday by her husband Coltyn! They just had their baby girl Wesley and they
are looking forward to getting sealed in the temple in a year :) Coltyn was
less active for like 14 years and now has been coming to church the last few
months and he really has one of the strongest testimonies I've ever heard.
Also
last Sunday Mindy got up and bore her testimony! I wish we could have gotten a
picture of Coltyn's face because it was hilarious. Non of us were expecting it
but she got up there and then made all of us cry. I love her and her little
family so much!

On Wednesday WE GOT A NEW CAR!
Well kinda.. it's a 2016 so it's been here for a while but it's really nice!
And the AC works! So that is a HUGE blessing right now. It's about to get
hot.

Then I got to go on exchanges with
my lovely Sister Vandervelde :) we had a lot of fun and we were able to find
two new investigators on our exchange! Which in their area is super hard
because it's mostly populated with Members and literally everyone has talked to
the missionaries before. But despite that there are always people out there who
are searching for the gospel. You just have to find them!
Speaking of finding people to
teach, we have been doing something really cool with our members during dinner
appointments. So the little blue Book of Mormons that we pass out every day
have something interesting in them. In the very back there's about 15 blank
pages. Have you ever wondered what those were for?
Welllll..... we decided that
they are for us to write and share our testimonies! They might be another
reason for it but what we have come up with I like so I'm going with that.
We
have been leaving every family with a Book of Mormon so that they can all write
in the back of it and share their testimony of the restored gospel and the Book
of Mormon. They can either give it to a neighbor or give it back to us and we
will give it to one of their neighbors. That way we can tell people that the
testimony of their neighbors is in that book. So I think we all need to use
those pages to share our testimony with our neighbors :)

| We finally got our zone picture from zone conference last week! |
The church is so true! My
testimony of that grows more and more every day! The happiest I've ever been is
when I'm sharing the gospel. I absolutely love it :)
Have a wonderful week everyone!
Love you!
Love,
Sister Eliza Hopper
