Fambly!
I'm so glad Dad had such a fun time in Utah! I would greatly enjoy seeing pictures...nudge nudge wink wink knowhwhatImean knowhatImean?


I'm having trouble distinguishing individual days anymore, but we continue to see miracles left and right. Actually, I was thinking. We're always looking for miracles, so what could be considered little miracles are a big deal to us and we try to always make sure that we thank Heavenly Father for them. And then a whole slew of HUGE MIRACLES comes along and we don't even know what to do with ourselves! You know how I told you that Rick set a baptismal date last week? Well so did his daughter Alexis! They're both kind of unsure still.....not about whether or not it's something they should do, they know for sure they need to, they're just both quite stubborn. I love them with all my little heart and I'm excited for them to come closer to Christ during this time that they are preparing to be baptized and then to have the Holy Ghost as a constant companion and to feel Christ's love incessantly!

Hermana Prince is learning about cultural differences in a variety of ways. The standard for how long our long lessons should last is 20-45 min. Even President Martin in one of the first meetings I went to said "According to missionary standards, your lessons should last no longer than an hour." and then he looked around sternly for a second. Then he busted up laughing and said "That's not going to happen in Spanish work! Just do the best you can." We went to an investigator's home the other night for a lesson (and they really have no interest in our message and have told us so very lovingly----although the wife read all of 1 Nephi when we just asked her to read the first chapter....she recited basically all the major and minor events of the first 10 chapters to us. Dang.) Anyway, we had an appointment after them so we told them we would need to be mindful of the time. They looked at the clock, guaging how much time they had with us, and said "You only came for an HOUR??????!!" ummm....

I didn't know they like us so much! 


Also, the family of Jesus (also know as Chuy, you'll be tickled to hear) keeps sitting in on our lessons. He received a blessing for help to overcome some trials he has right now. We went over last night, read parts of 3 Nephi 11 all together and watched the Reflections of Christ DVD. We bore our testimonies of Jesus Christ and His restored Gospel and the Spirit was so strong I could almost taste it. We invited them to come watch conference with us and come closer to the Savior by hearing His words through a living prophet and apostles. We pointed out the Spirit we felt so that they could recognize it too. It was SO cool! They're such a great family and a really great support to Jesus (our investigator, not the Savior)....well, I guess both.....anyway. They're ALL planning on coming to English class this week and I'm way stoked to see them more often. We also set up an appointment to share the Relief society message with his sister-in-law.

Also, Jesus and all his brothers have the most amazing mustaches. and German shepherd puppies. Just sayin'. There's more than one reason they're some of my favorites.


Gotta run! love you more than I love puppies.
