Dear,                                  8/22/16

We had an AMAZING WEEK OF MIRACLES THIS WEEK! Tuesday, I was in Mesa with the Zone Leaders there, and we found this one lady who is really looking for God, and who loved the message of the restoration. She was pretty Golden. One of the Zone Leaders really remind me of Daniel. His Name is Elder ...C . THAT IS CRAZY! Anyways, he is from Brazil and his Grandpa was a Seventy and his family is really in the church... But before his mission he was really into the Drug life and Girl life back home... BUT After a lengthy process of repentance, and due to MUCH Prayer and Fasting from the family, Elder c overcame all things and is now serving a mission as a very influential leader among missionaries. But he didn't just start his mission that way... Elder c and I actually came to the mission on the same airplane, but he had a rough start with some obedience and diligence issues, but a couple months back, I was on an exchange with the Zone Leaders up in Snowflake, and we had a Zone Training Meeting, where all the missionaries from the surrounding areas came together. This was at a time when many of the missions influential leaders were going home, and we needed good leadership. I took Elder c aside and was rather bold and brutal with him. I told him how much better he was than what he was doing and how he was acting. And how God needed him as a leader... Today. We both felt the spirit and God's love, and from that point forth he has been a mighty leader in our mission. Doing MUCH good. In Wednesday, I was in Paradise Valley with a good Elder from Montana! We had so many miracles where the appointment we were going to wouldn't answer their door for the lesson we had, so we would go to the house right beside that house, and we would talk to them, and they were almost all interested about hearing more of the restored gospel. It was neat! Thursday, I was with the Zone Leaders in Fountain Hills! That was great as well. There is a cute little Yavapi Indian Reservation out there that we found a man's secret house hiding in the Saguaro Cactus Forest. He was interested in hearing more as well. Lots and lots of miracles! Right now I am in Show Low getting ready to head to Snowflake for another couple of exchanges and to correct some disobedience up there... Oye. Good stuff! Have a great week! I love you!
