I really don't have much time this week, but suffice to say: 'Twas a wonderful week. We started out the week with zero people on date to be baptized, and now we have four people on date for baptism. We are way excited about it. We had another fireside this week in Olympia (it just so happens there were firesides two weeks in a row in different stakes), and I played the piano at that one, too. 

I really love the mission out here. I don't really have anything else to report on. We went on exchanges with the Assistants to the President again. It blew our miles out of the water, but it was really fun and I learned a lot. I was with Elder Turley all day, and he was amazing at teaching people right as we met them.

Our miracle for the week happened when we had no appointments set up, so we decided to go and knock doors in an apartment complex. As we started walking up the stairs to one building, I noticed a man sitting on his porch, and I talked to him and invited him to hear our message. He gladly accepted and let us in, and we taught him for a while and put him on date for baptism. By the time we finished, we had to go to our next appointment and hadn't even ended up knocking on a single door. It just goes to show that God prepares people to be in our paths. Our appointments may have fallen through, but as we went out to work, God had set up an appointment for us. Anyway, have a great week, my friends.
