Thanks for the prayers of safety! We've been living in a cloud of smoke!
I've been loving the Isaiah chapters! I have a piece of advice for everyone: If you want to understand Isaiah, study it in a different language. You will be much more able to skip over the fluffy words because they probably only exist in English.
Light the World has been making me so happy! I love being a missionary! If you skipped any of the days, try them now! The gospel is true every day of the year.
We were told we could stay inside on Tuesday because of the smoke, but we needed new investigators, so we went out anyway. We parked our bikes, knocked a few doors, and decided to try to find somewhere indoors to knock. We walked halfway home and nothing, so we abandoned our bikes and walked all the way home, and found rides to our evening appointments. #bikelife
Then our faith was rewarded! We found 11 new investigators this week! One of them is a really cool gold mine family that wants to talk about baptism at the church on Saturday! She excitedly left the room to bring us the English Book of Mormon someone had given her and tell us how she wished she could read it. We provided a spanish copy and she was very delighted!
Mario came to church. The other Mario dropped. Interesting fact! They are both Mario Martinez. That was hilarious!
Some of you saw me at Operation Gratitude. It is a really cool charity that sends packages to military servicemen, veterans, and military families. I have gone a few times, and I really support it! The founder said that she was inspired when she heard someone say it didn't matter whether he made it home or not. He hadn't gotten any packages, and no one cared about him. She said that she thought to herself, I know who cares! Americans care! And she started the charity. They just packages their 2 millionth box!
Thanks again for everything! I love you all! #LightTheWorld
Love,

Deep in thought or sleep, same same.
Smoky faces from the fires!
