I will miss Heidi Smith!

I feel like every week I have to search for words in which I have to say... I cant believe that Heidi died... she was really one of my favorites in the family (not saying that I have favorites but there are those I like more then others) she was really someone special. She reminded me a lot of my own mother in the prospective of her personality and her creativity. She was and is a great person... Their family will have a hard time. It seems like Terry and Shelly’s side of the family has had some major trails. I hope that they will be ok; I hope that Sammy and Troy can really help their father out. I don’t know what has happened these last two years but I really hope that they can remember the heavenly fathers plan. I can’t even imagine how hard it will be for them, they are going to be some pretty strong children of God if they manage to get out of all this crap! I don’t know what to say, and I don’t know what to think, but I will put my trust in God. 

This week has been a rough one, my companion is still adjusting to the life style here. He doesn’t say anything but you can see that it over whelming him in his eyes. This last week we helped a lady that is going through the crisis, and she was put in a state hotel for a short time period while they found her a new place to stay. When she told us she needed help she didn’t tell us anything, she just told us it was an emergency. After we arrived in front of the hotel she told us everything, she told us that the hotel she was staying in was a Hostel for prostitutes and that the Mickey Mouse club was running a business out of that state hotel. After she started to tell other people they wanted to act on it but everyone who was in that hotel is really poor. The Mickey Mouse club had robbed the little money that she had and a couple belongings and framing another young family that lived in the same building as her.  Let’s just say that the situation is pretty crazy. There was a man that was in there that was laughing at her decision to leave. It was pretty absurd and I still can’t believe everything that happened. 

Anywho, we have had a pretty good week this week with all of our investigators but we also need some new investigators. I am so glad that summer is over and we can get back into the swing of things. We have been working our hind ends off this week and everything is going really well. I am always excited to show my companion new things, but its kind of difficult at the same time because I have to teach him how to cook, how to clean, what he can and cant use. I do have the joy of showing him the new things that he has never seen such as, the food, the laws, the language... everything=) I love it... I am trying to work his shoes right off his feet and he seems to be enjoying that. I honestly believe that Greenies work miracles. I think that we do not notice all of the miracles that happen around us until we have someone to show us. We have been studying the training Manuel and I like the simplicity and the efficiency of the whole training manuel, it really makes these Greenies stretch.

I am loving this city and I am loving my mission, its pretty difficult sometimes but it would be nearly as fun if I didn’t have the difficulties. I hope that you all are fine and that you can give Troy, Sammy and Paul my best and give them a great big hug for me! 

Tell Kaitlyn I feel great oh I feel so great.... I am still waiting to hear how she feels. 

The computer that I am using right now will not send you all the pictures so you are probably going to have to wait for another week. 

Dad thanks for the email and I hope that exam went well last week, I will be praying for you!! Love you so much, 

Anziano Miller...
