IS THREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(3)
The work has been good this week. On Monday we had a great experience with some youth! A member of our ward asked us to come over and teach her grandchildren the lessons. It was a little awkward at first, but they warmed up after I cracked a few jokes. We had a great spiritual lesson with them, and they want to meet with us again. As I know I have said before, I love teaching youth because of my conversion story.
We saw the Peterken's this week and we were able to set a date for them to go to the temple. They were a little hesitant at first, but Sister Hawes read a little bit of an awesome talk and really committed them boldly! It worked out really well. The best part is that we just came up with the random date, June 11th.The next day, in a meeting at church,we found out it was the date of the next temple trip! It is amazing how we can all be guided by the Spirit of God.
We spent a ton of time working with members this week, and we saw so many miracles from it! We had a few members on Sunday tell us they had some people they were hoping we could teach!! We also had another sister offer to come out teaching with us once a week! I am so happy to see all the members getting more excited about and involved in missionary work.
That's right everyone. We are going to have another sister come and join us in Farmington! It was very surprising, but also exciting! Her name is SIster Castleton, and we will receive her tomorrow!

I had an amazing time being able to speak to my family Sunday! It is really cool to have such amazing supporters. They also help me to see the best in myself, and how I have improved in my life, and how much I have grown since I first became a missionary nearly 9 months ago. The amazing change I have seen in myself and those I teach reminds me of a scripture in the Book of Mormon in Alma 5: 14
"...have ye spiritually been born of God? Have ye received his image in your countenances? Have experienced this mighty change in your hearts?"
I have a long way to go, but I know that little by little as each of us comes closer and closer to Christ, He will transform us! Our mighty change happens over and over again as we change our lives to be more like Christ. That is how we find real happiness, through His light.
Love you all! Here are some cool pictures of some hard work my companion and I did, and beautiful Maine!
