Week Four in Napa, I am so Lucky to be here.

Family and Friends,

Words can't express the kind of life I have here: Always focusing on others and always on my knees in prayer- Everyday humbling myself and trying to push past my imperfections to become that which the Lord has in store for me to be. As I travel this path I can see the Windows of Heaven opening up into my life and I am truly blessed. I am becoming who I want to be.

First, I AM SO EXCITED FOR JOSEPH'S MISSION CALL! SALT LAKE CITY SOUTH! I know with everything in me that each call is called by God and that there are people there waiting for my AMAZING brother's example. Even though I am far away his example in my life radiates and I can't wait for others to feel that and be blessed.

The past couple weeks we have been super bummed that none of our investigators come to church. We have been praying and trying so hard this week to be obedient and work hard, and A MIRACLE happened. We had 3 of our investigators at church! Lucillo, Angela, and Jesus all were able to make it. I sat with Lucillo and Angela (they are a couple) during the sacrament meeting and he was so excited about the Book of Mormon and he kept telling me he felt really good all day. I know they felt the spirit. I know the Lord has prepared them to receive blessings through the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. I see the happiness that I feel from the gospel enter the lives of others and it is truly wonderful.

This week we also had a Sister's Conference and I learned a TON:  A lot about my purpose in this life and how everything that I am doing now so so important. This is a marvelous work; I am stoked to be a part of it. Also, I participated in my first "exchange" and left my companion for a day and went with Sister Thomas to an English speaking area. We taught a lesson with one of her Investigators and he was a man with a big heart truly seeking to change and do the will of God… A powerful lesson. His friend, a member, was there to help us teach. The role of members is HUGE in helping people feel comfortable in learning the gospel.

I LOVE YOU ALL! I love being a missionary. I am praying for you all.
