I still have lots to say, since I didn't tell you about this past week yet! SO much happened. I already told you about yesterday and how everything seemed like it would be a flop of a day but then as we decided to keep going forward and try to see some miracles, the miracle came! We got to meet with that lady, and she told us to come back whenever we want. So we are going to try and start the lesons with her this next week!
As far as the rest of the week, it was kind of the same way. The week started out terrible, with only one lesson scheduled, and everything falling through that we used to be able to count on. So we decided to go through our area book and update it. And hat is a project that will last quite a while, because we have to visit a ton of addresses, just to see if the people still live there.
So, we went to one former investigators home, and she was still there and said that we could come back this next week! Another day, as we were walking along the street we saw two people on the street that we needed to talk to, and were able to make two appointments for later that day. AND remember the Australian man I told you about? He called with us one more time before he went home, so we got to meet with him again! He had so many questions about our church and just Christian religion in general, and we were able to answer all of them confidently with answers that surprised him. He told us that he was surprised that even with how young we are we were so wise and were able to answer all of his questions with a satisfying answer, which no other church had been able to do before. He said he would continue to learn about our church when he goes home! After the lesson, I just had this feeling, full confidence that he WILL accept this gospel. I don't know when or how, but I think he will. :)
Another random day, we were once again just walking and this man stops us and tells us about his life, which seemed like a WRECK. Usually if a man talks to us on the street we feel wary, but when he was talking I just felt like we should listen to him, because even though he was drunk and kind of crazy, I could tell his soul was really hurting. So we got his number and maybe the Elders will be able to meet him again. AND that same day we came to the church for English class and there were SIXTEEN random new kids there, who had just all come to the church because one friend that the Elders invited got them to come. It was crazy and we had no clue what to do, but it was a miracle that we were able to introduce the church to so many kids.
As you can see, this week started out empty, but it became packed with miracles from the Lord! Amazing.
I love you all so much!!
Interesting Fact:
They have corndogs, which are way better because they are layered twice with the bread stuff, and guess what they dip it in? Nope, not ketchup. Sugar! That's right, sounds so incredible delicious right? Haha maybe not, but it really is good. It just makes you feel twice as unhealthy when you eat it.

"If we ask anything according to His will, He heareth us." - 1 John 5:14
God will always hear our prayers. But we can't forget that He's not just a God like the genie in the lamp. He won't, in fact He can't, give us anything we ask for. But as we learn more about Him, our will becomes more inline with His. Our prayers change until we won't ask anything that's against His will!
