This was a jam packed week of awesomeness! Started off with some really funny tracting and running into an old family friend! We did some fun service and had some good lessons with people. Finally finished it off great by going to the temple with Kyle and Ahrianna Taylor so they could receive their endowments and be sealed!
So early in the week we were knocking door and this lady opens up and is dressed in not enough clothes and is probably in her 70's. So Elder Yesilonis and I are already trying not to laugh as Elder McCombs talks to her about the Book of Mormon. Elder McCombs asks if he can share a scripture but can't find the one he was looking for so he opens randomly to 3 Nephi 25:1 where Jesus is quoting Malachi about how the proud and the wicked will be burned in the last days. So Elder Yeislonis and I just start laughing and the lady says that he could have shared a more uplifting one but still accepts a copy of the Book of Mormon! Good times.
But then about an hour later, we knock on this door and a lady opens up and immediately says, "I know your family!" It turns out she had moved from Fair Oaks about 5 years ago and was friends with my family and my grandpa was her bishop! So we talked for a while and it was so neat how that happened. A morning or two before that I had read Elder Rasband's talk on Divine Design and it strengthened my testimony that God is in the details of our lives! Even cooler was that night at a Chinese restaurant, I got a fortune cookie that said "A chance meeting with someone from your past is in store!!!!" A day late but still so funny!

We had an awesome lesson with Viera (been spelling her name wrong until now). She is the lady from the Czech Republic. She has had a few concerns and teaching her about repentance helped to overcome some of them! Her kids really like us so we are having another lesson this week and hopefully we will be able to help her progress!
We are still teaching Landon who is an unbaptized 9yr old but his family has a hard time coming to church!
The best part of the week was being able to go up to Denver with Kyle and Ahrianna! They are so cool and it was so awesome to see them in the temple! Kyle just started crying after it all and that just made everything worth it!
