Monday: we had a great preparation day, we ended the day with a good lesson with the family we have been teaching, but they stopped progressing....

Tuesday: We did a lot of biking around talking with all the people we saw, it was a lot of fun I enjoy being on the bike again!!! Then we had dinner with the family we are teaching, they fed us tacos! it was a super good meal!!

Wednesday: We had district meeting, Then we tried to go and meet a lot of less actives in one part of or huge area! We were able to come into contact with most of them! it was a good day! Then we Ended the day with that family, They weren't feeling very good today, because its been dark and gloomy all week, so they were in a slump... but the lesson we had with them was very spiritual! and It cheered them up. I hope they start reading from the Book of Mormon.

Thursday: We had weekly planning, then we went and tracted a trailer park for 4 hours. then came home and ate dinner, Then we went and helped a member that is moving to California, we unloaded her attic took us 2 hours! haha it was so hot up there! man! and its been humid all week! so it was torture! felt like a sona up there! Then we biked around and tried potentials. then we had another lesson with that family.

Friday: We biked all day today, we got our miles for our car and we got cut another hundred, so we only got allotted a small amount, so we will be doing a lot of biking this month! so I hope it starts to get cooler! And we went and saw a less active, I felt prompted to go see him and he had just had a member in the house pass away... and he had just talked with the branch president asking if he could get us over there to say a prayer with him. so I know that God will guide you to those of his children that need you when they need you. So we were able to comfort him. Then we bike like mad men to that families house and had another good lesson.

Saturday: we Got up went and set the church up and Then went tracting, and then had lunch. Then we went and made sure that member that is moving is doing okay, she is stressed about the move and her ability to help her kids help her move. Then we went and saw that less active again. Then we biked around, and then saw that family then ate dinner.

Sunday: We had church, it was a very good meeting!! It was centered on the importance of families, and the priesthood, and the priesthood being in those familes! I know it was an inspired meeting, we need to keep the strength of the family our main goal, as we have a strong family we can over come anything satan throws at us! Then we went and saw this other less active member, and then another member, then we ended the day with that family, biking this week has been a lot of fun!

Love,

The power of the family is the very center of God's plan for us, we must have a strong foundation in the family so we can have the tools to fight satan in our lives. I know that as we read the scriptures and pray as a family it will bring the family together and make them happier.
