Letter #22

Hola Familia!

This week has been so crazy!  I feel like with my new companion we just experience the craziest things.  First of all we started teaching this family.  We have only had one lesson with them but I am very hopeful for them.  The greatest thing about it was that we were discussine Book of Mormon and then had to kind of review the restoration to make it a little more clear how we got the Book of Mormon.  So we were talking about prophets and about how God has always called prophets.  then they asked the Golden question, Why don't we have a prophet today then!  I am just sure my face just lit up.  We were like we do have prophets!!!!  It was really cool and we were able to say a kneeling prayer with them before we met them.  Our next lesson is in a couple of days with them, so we will see how that goes.  So the other funny thing that happened was the other night.  We stopped a guy on the street and were talking with him and then we were saying a prayer.  As we were saying a prayer we started hearing this wailing and moaning.  After the prayer we were looked around there was this man roaming through the streets moaning.  IT was quite the interesting experience! 

Now this is the biggest news of the week....we got a new car!!! In the mission they switch out the cars when they get to 50,000 miles.  So our car had reached its limit and so the car coordinator called us and told us we could come get it.  In our excitement we cleaned and were on our way to ventura.  We were almost to ventura when my companion noticed the brake light on and then that the brakes weren't working.  So we got off and called the mission office.  they told us to look at the emergency...so we had driven all the way from Thousand Oaks to Ventura with the emergency brake was partially on!!!! We got out and the wheels were just so smelly.  Thankfully nothing happened and we didn't ruin the car.  We thought for sure that the office was going to say you cannot be trusted with a new car heres and bus pass back to your area, when you get there go buy some bikes!!! That did not happen though and now we have a bran spanken new Toyota Corolla.  It had about 8 miles on it when we got it, and it still has the new car smell:)

This week has been great and I love being a missionary!
