Hey everyone!  Holy cow a lot has happened the past couple of weeks.  Quick update on last week in ChEgIrLgAn:  We invited Zach to be baptized! Let me tell you about Zach. He is someone we've been in contact with for as long as I've been on my mission. We didn't start actually teaching him in person until about june/July. He has a lot of struggles and has been through some really difficult things.  We had a lesson with him last week and he was talking about how he wants to be clean.

He is sooo prepared to hear the Gospel. He's researched tons of churches over the years and said that he's never learned this much or felt this good at a church. I can't wait to keep teaching him! I love it when people are humble and prepared to hear the Gospel. It's amazing to see the light and joy it brings to their lives.      I have a firm testimony that God is aware of us!! We had a lot of tender mercies this week. We had to go to detroit so I could get my ear checked out. I have to get a CT scan to see if there's fluid behind my ear drum. If there is, he'll put a tube in my ear and that should fix it. I...
