Too many miracles to tell

Mum,
This week has been crazy and exciting and miraculous as ever! We keep having little miracles that bring people closer to joining the church. I can't even begin to tell you about all of them. I've never been so guided on my entire mission. Its like every door we knock on we are there at the perfect timing. Everyone we talk to wants to hear more and its really exciting. We also had 3 people at church this week! A young couple named Steven and Tiffany and a girl named Nila. Its crazy how all of them were prepared to come to church. Nila has been going to young womens for about a year but hasn't been allowed to come to church this whole time. Her parents have finally let her come to church. I'm really excited for this next week as well. Things are just going perfect here in Selby. I just hope we dont' do anything to screw it up! I'm really happy to hear about Sam. I told Grandma how appreciative I am about the whole thing. It's really exciting that she's coming to visit. There is a recent convert from Selby that we know really well who is going to America in August. Maybe as time gets closer we'll try and set something up so you can meet him! I'm glad to hear that Po'i can finally go on his mission soon. And that's pretty crazy about the whole sacrament meeting stuff. From what I hear about those African missions Tyler is gonna be in for a good time. In the Zimbabwe mission they had a goal a couple of years ago to baptise 2000 people and they made it! Its really exciting. Well I'd better get going. I'm booking my driving test right now and it'll probably be sometime in July or August. The work is going great. I'm happy as ever mum. I love you. Thanks for everything! Talk to you next week!

Dad,
Ya I don't know what happened with the last e-mail but I got it today. I can't believe all the stuff about Matt Daleabout in this area. I've been asking around and there have been a couple of families who remembered him so he is definitely not forgotten here! We haven't been able to see Kim lately though, but we will keep trying. There has to be a reason we were sent to his house even if its not for him. But this week has been a really good one. It seems like there is no end to the miracles that have been happening here. We feel very prompted to find in far off areas and we have been seeing loads of success. Even when things fall through they eventually work out for the best. We were so happy because after 2 months of nothing we finally had people at church this week. A young family came and then a girl who has been coming to young womens for a while came. Its been a really good week. I really don't know how to tell you everything amazing that has happened, there have just been too many. I guess I'll just share one miracle that happened. We walked around bit but nothing felt right so we decided to leave and try this older man we are teaching. On the way there we talked to this woman who broke out in tears when he started talking to her. She had been praying for weeks and felt like her faith was disappearing. She had woken up that day and had decided that she was going to end it all. We went to her home and taught her and she testified that she felt the spirit and knew that we had been sent from God. It was just an amazing miracle in the first place but the thing that made me so happy about it was the way it effected Elder Hilliard. I know she was sent to us as much as we were sent to her. Well that's about all I'll say for this week. Thanks for keeping me posted on everything back home. I always love reading your e-mails dad. I love you so much. Take care of yourself. Especially that shoulder!!
