Yes, I have had a great week, Elder Carter and I have been able to pick up three new investigators which is always great!! :) One of our new investigators is a former, we both felt like we should stop bye his house so we did. He let us come in and teach him. He has been still reading his scriptures each night. The thing that is holding Alex back is from  attending church. We also have another investigator that we picked up, he lives right about us. We picked him up by knocking on his door and asking him if he knew anything or saw anyone break into the cars. Then he just asked us what we do because he see's us a lot. We told him what we do and he told us he had a couple of questions that he would like us to answer!! So we sat down with him yesterday night at Starbucks when he bought us drinks, ops (family is hoping the oops is because he bought and not because Cristian drank, but you never know: ) ) but we were able to answer he's question. We are planning to see Matthew later this week to answer another question of his that he txted us last night. The question is really good it's "sometimes in life, just to get through and defend those who we love and fight for, we have to sin, incur into doing things that are not right....It is as if we, the human race, were are own worst enemies. In times like this you do wonder, how is God going to take this? When we struggle through life there is sometimes not other way out but by throwing others under the bus,kinda thing..." This txt he sent really did make me think because it's so true. I was just thinking how it's by "small and simple thing" Alma 37:6-7 if we just do what we've been tough by parents, Bible, Book Of Mormon, Leaders. We would not have this problem but it's more then small things we have to know it, live it, act it and all the above..
              Conference was amazing!! Love what Dieter F. Uchtdorf said " Doubt you doubts before you doubt you faith" then also in the Priesthood session when he spoke about about not letting you pride get in the way, and stay on the path of righteousness. Also what is grandson told him "YOU CAN DO IT"!! :) I also love the quote I believe Thomas S. Monson said "be the rock in the river that does not get pulled" something on that line. Conference was amazing! Priesthood session was great, it brought be back to the last one in Kanab when I took Derek and myself because Dad and Brandon were in Vegas I believe. How Derek and I went out after and got Ice Cream at The Junction!  
 
 LOVE You Mom, Dad and little one :)      Tell everyone in the ward thanks for all you've done for me!
