Rockin the red, white and blue-except I'm wearing black

okay so AMAZING NEWS!

we having been teaching this 18 year old girl named Morgan for about a month now and she was doing amazing until tons of people got together and completely “anti-ed” her with tons of false doctrine. she got really freaked out and so she dropped us and we had the hardest time getting ahold of her. She then went on vacation for a week and so we were really worried but were hoping for the best. She came back in town on thur and CALLED US and so we set up a lesson for friday and it was one of the most spiritual lessons that I'v had here yet. We helped her with a lot of her concerns, which was great. She came to church yesterday so we talked to her right after sacrament but then we had to leave. a little while later she texted us and told us that had recieved an answer to her prayers and she wanted to be baptized! YEY!!! we were freaking and overwhelmed with happiness! She will be getting baptized this friday now and then Mike will be baptized on Sat.!

 Queen Creek is absolutely awesome and the stake members are so missionary minded! The stake leadership right now is doing this thing where they’ve challenged every family in all the wards to pray specifically for us three by name and to pray for missionary opportunities! miracles are about to happen and i can hardly wait! Stake conference in Aug. is centered all around missionary work as well! Our trio is awesome and its amazing because we can go on splits with the members and can literally be in the 3 different places at once.

 Who wouldn't want to be a missionary is what i want to know! I get to see the gospel change lives, including mine! I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and is another witness of Jesus Chirst! I am so grateful for all the blessings in my life and for the health that i have that i am able to do the Lord's work. I hope all is well back home and that everyone is safe.

 love you all
