No crazy adventures this week, but things have been moving along
pretty good. We had a good lesson with Russ and his daughter Audrey on Friday. They had bedbugs the past few weeks, so this was the first time they were able to meet with us in a while. We reviewed the baptismal questions with them and had a really good discussion about various points of the Restoration. Russ is definitely going to be ready for his baptism on July 29. Audrey is slowly opening up to us more (she's eight and very shy), and she even gave the closing prayer at the end of the lesson.
I went on companion exchanges with the North Central Ward elders twice this week in their area. On Tuesday we taught a very good lesson of the Restoration as well. On Saturday, I not only was on exchanges, but also on splits with the zone leaders. I went tracting with one of the zone leaders for an hour that day to help the North elders find a new investigator. We went to an apartment complex and were going nowhere for a few minutes, but suddenly we can across an apartment with a bunch of Catholic stickers on the windows. We knew it was going to be a good one; an old lady answered the door and invited us right in. She was alone, so we just talked on the door step for a good while and had a good conversation about our beliefs and set a return appointment.
She's probably just going to try to convert the North elders when they go back, but finding someone like that while tracting is a rare and exciting occasion.
I'll go for now, it have a good fantastic week guys

All is going well in Central Tucson. I've just finished my second week with my new companion Elder Lorenzen (from South Jordon, Utah), and we're working very well with each other; we've found two more investigators this week which is great. One we found from street contacting with a less active who really likes sharing the gospel, even though he doesn't come to church. The other was someone whom missionaries contacted in an other Ward, but they needed help moving into my area. Last night we went with our assistant Ward mission leader to an apartment complex to go see a family he knew to invite to the Temple. We ended up talking to a Nepali family that was eating dinner outside instead. They were super nice and invited the three of us inside of their home. They gave us some of the food they were eating and it was very HOT. It was the spiciest meal I have had on my mission by far. It turns out they are Christian refugees, trying to escape persecution. We taught them about the Restoration of the Gospel and how this church is the church Christ established. They said they'd be interested in both seeing the Temple and our church and asked us the time for it on Sunday.
Last week we got a call from a less active from Texas right when we were about to finish studies. He said he was at his father in law's
funeral service, but there was no one to officiate or give a spiritual
though, so we volunteered out services to help him. The rest of his
family was non members, but we had the opportunity to testify of the resurrection of Christ and they were all touched by the message. It was a very unusually experience, but a great one. I hope you're all having a good day and I wish you a good week as well.
