OH I'm 20‏

So this is my Birthday meal :] 

So this last week has been so amazing. it was a miraculous week and on top of that I turned 20 on friday :]

I don't have much time and I have already written most everything in my journal and I am feeling lazy and don't want to write it out 2 times. I will just tell you the best day of the week :]

Friday, my birthday, came around and it just felt like a good day. We got a text from Kaitlyn asking if we could meet with her earlier in the day because something came up. So we got there and we asked her how her reading was going. She said she starts off her reading with a prayer and ends with a prayer. She has so many questions but when she reads the book of Mormon the spirit comes and answers all of her questions. She is receiving answers to prayers it is amazing. He handed me her notebook that she is taking notes in and the spirit hit me so strong. Reading what she wrote you could see her testimony develop right in front of you. She has already sacrificed so much to find out if this is true and today there was a real big test. One of her really good friends isn't the biggest fan of Mormons and he said if she becomes a Mormon than he wont ever talk to her again. She told him. Well it looks like we aren't going to be friends. She is so awesome. Kaitlyn has so much faith. She is so excited to be baptized. Looking at her wonder and her amazement and seeing how she has changed so much just from 2 weeks ago is amazing and it really makes me so grateful for this gospel. This gospel really does change lives for the better :] 

later we went over to Daniels. He really likes us coming over. He told us that he read the chapter we left with him and he didn't feel anything. He was disappointed and you could tell he was sad we were disappointed. We told him that it doesn't just come all at once but it is a process. He Said he will continue to read a pray. I am sure he will grow in his faith and see the the greatness of Gods plan for him. We have so much love for him. I am so excited to see how he grows in his faith. I will keep you in the loop with that. 

We then went home and ordered pizza. It was a great Birthday. The gospel is true. There is no denying it. I love you all. Hope you have a great week. Oh yeah it is Pearl harbor day just so you all know.
