This week has been a really good week! To start off the week I was able to go on exchanges with the assistant to the president. Elder Soffe. He is one of my absolute favorite missionaries!! He has one week left on his mission, it is crazy to think that he will be done so soon. When Elder Soffe and I were out working we decided to go visit a former investigator that neither of us had met yet, when we went to the door his mother said that Mitchell wasn't home and she didn't know when he would be back. So we said we would come by at a later time and then walked around the neighborhood talking to all the people that we saw. When we were about to get in the car I saw a younger man at the first house we visited and I looked at Elder Soffe and said "That's him". I had never met him before but we went and talked to him to find out he was Mitchell, the one we were looking for. He invited us in and we got to teach him, he is a really nice guy. Halfway into the lesson he had to step into the other room to help his grandfather who he takes care of. He came back about 5 minutes later and told us to come meet Uncle Larry the man he was taking care of. We went in there and talked to Uncle Larry, he was very funny and really nice, he is an older man in a wheelchair and can't walk, and he is legally blind. We talked to him for a little bit and then he asked "Do you know where I got my name Uncle Larry from?" and we asked where and he said "From my buddy Frank Sinatra", we thought at first he was joking, but it turns out he really was Frank Sinatra's personal body guard, along with Dean Martin!!! He said Dean used to call him "Blue Eyes". It was a really neat experience! This week our investigator Elaine ended up having to move back to Brazil to obtain a work visa, that was sad but we will have the missionaries meet her again in Brazil. I was on exchanges again later in the week and we walked into a neighborhood and this lady points at us and said "You are just the two I was looking for!", she then said "I called the number on the card you gave me so I could get the address to go to church with you and I found out the bus routes don't go that way" is there any way you could help me?" We said of course and will have a member pick her up for church! We also found out that April, the sister of our recent convert Michael will be coming back to our ward so she can be with her brother, we are very excited about that!! All in all it has been a great week and I hope everyone is doing well! I

Hello everyone!!!
