This week has been a week of miracles! We couldn't have taught anyone that we have taught this week without the mini missionaries being here. There have been so many amazing teaching experiences in the last couple of days. 
We taught a recent convert's husband who has never had any religious background, he hadn't prayed in a long time and wasn't very comfortable praying out loud, but I used the training that Elder Beck gave us about prayer at interviews, and guess what? It worked, I pushed and pushed, and all of us said a prayer before he did, and finally he said a very sincere heart felt prayer. The spirit was so strong and he wants to see us again. My Mini missionaries did such a great job of teaching with the spirit as well, and I am just so blessed and so excited to have them here with me. They have taught me how to step up, and how to be a better teacher, and always being engaged in the lessons and a whole bunch of other things. It really has been an amazing learning experience for me.  
I have also found that I have a new appreciation for Sis. Pollock as well, I loved her before but I love her even more now, it is so nice to be able to teach a lesson with someone who already knows how to teach. But I really love teaching with my mini's as well. They are doing a great job. 
I am so excited for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Concert tonight. I love them and can't wait to feel the spirit with the music they sing!
I actually did run in to Elder Hanson at the mini missionary meeting! he seems to be doing great! 
No I am not getting transferred! yay! Pollock and Buhler is still intact for another 6 weeks! Zaneville 2nd ward rejoices much at the news! :) 

So about the mini missions. I shall now explain. What happens is they are youth from 16-18 who want to try out mission life to see if they actually want to go on missions. So they come for a week and do everything we do, keeps our schedual, teaches with us and everything. We got 4 mini's, sis. pollockgot 2 and I was assigned two. Sis. Keller and Sis. Miller are my two, they are pretty awesome! definately still 17 year old highschool girls but they are great! they get along really well, and they are really great at teaching with the spirit. We split up into trios and go out and get to work. there has been a lot of planning go into this week, in setting up appointments and getting great teaching opportunities for these girls, and we have seen so many miracles come from having them here. We wouldn't have gotten these apt's had they not made the choice to some out and serve a mini mission! So we have 6 people in an apt that is supposed to hold 2, but we are managing to do a pretty good job of keeping things clean, and organized, showers are pretty rough sometimes, but it all works out! they are all doing great! :) I love having them, and getting to see them grow and me grow as well! they are awesome! :) 

We get to go to the MOTAB concert tonight, we are so exited!!!!! we are taking the bauserman bus down to columbus and back! We also because of the mini missionaries got another car to transport everyone around, so I have been driving the malibu that is just like ours and sis pollock gets the brand new ford fusion! we only have it for a week but still! :) it was quite the thing not driving for 6 weeks and then having to drive a nice car in a town that you don't know where you are going! it's great fun! :) Oh and if you feel like buying a garmin GPS and sending it to me....that would be great because once sis. Pollock leaves me I don't have any way of getting around anywhere! ;) I would be able to use it for my whole mission! :) I would love you forever! :) 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYNETTE!!! :)
