Dear family 
   
   So I attached my letter to President. Sorry they took away a lot of our time to write so we can’t write as much now. But to answer some of your questions. I would love to see the extended family but if it is Thanksgiving or another day it’s ok with me. Surprise me hah I am game for anything. 
    Mom thank you so much for taking care of everything for school ......so I have been thinking about housing I think if you could go up and see what is there and see what is cheap and close to campus that would be great.
   I have so much to tell you all and now I don’t have time. You’ll all just have to wait hah. These stories are just the beginning of what happened this week. 

This week has been really crazy with everything going on after the meeting. We are super excited to help the sisters’ plan and then commit to their goals. We are making plans on how to help them more and how to follow up. This week we have had some interesting experiences we are seeing God in this work more than ever. We are seeing miracles. We put 4 fechas in one day!!! There are so many people trying to do the right thing in their lives. Last Sunday we had an entire family just show up at church and we have been visiting them now for the entire week.  The husband and two of the children have fechas!!! They are so great. You feel the spirit with them so much. It was amazing this last lession. We taught the Book of Mormon and we talked about how we can know if it is true. I was on divisions with a member and it was so great to have her there.  Roberto, the father, asked the perfect questions.... ¿  “How did you know it was true? What did it feel like for you?” I bore my testimony and I felt the spirit so strong and then I was able to say that it is different for each person and turned to the member and asked, “How was it for you?”  The member bore a beautiful testimony and the spirit was so strong and then after his wife (member) bore her testimony. I love working with members!!!!!! They are so great and bring the spirit. They truly speak what is in their hearts and we bare our testimonies so often I think we forget to do that sometimes, not all the time but sometimes. They bring a spirit that is so strong. We are trying never to have a lession without a member. 
     Oh other cool story, we went to go to a lession with an investigator (Friend of MA) and we went with the Mission leader. It was so cool. This family that is MA, the father had never even talked to us before but at the end of the lession our ward mission leader went and found the husband. They were friends when he was active and they talked hugged and had a good time. Now we have a Family night with them planned. I think this is the answer to the wife’s prayers to finally wake up her husband and have him come back so they can get married. And she ( non member) can get baptized!!!! This is the time for members and missionaries to work together. We are seeing miracles when we do!!! 
     We are also seeing Satan hard at work with all the success we are having. He is always there trying to destroy ours and others happiness. (Man I hate that) I got really mad at Satan the other day. We have a golden investigator who asked God if this church is true after the first visit. We came back and he said he felt a tickling in his heart and he thinks it’s true. Hey so a miracle there and  wow this young man has such a connection with the spirit. It’s amazing. His grandparents are members and they have been praying hard to have their family come to the knowledge. But his mom was really mad when she found out we were teaching her son. She had given her warning to him as to what she will do if he continues listening to us. It breaks my heart to see him close to tears as he has to make the choice of family or God. We are praying so hard for him. 

I love you family. Dad I am praying for you and I hope you feel better.
Brothers I can’t wait to see you all!! Know that I love you. 
Mom thanks for all you are doing to help me. 
Love you all 
Hermana Hale
