Wells, Cross-fit, and Miracles!

OH YEAH! Hope yall have have a r-r-r-radical week this week!

We have been having a blast here in Elko. Tons of things getting up and running, and we are so pumped. Our branch is going to be putting on a massive fiesta for the 10th anniversary of the branch's creation, and it's going to be tubular. There's going to be food trucks, latino dancers, music, activities, and our Branch President is expecting 200+ non-members there! Like the goal is to get every Hispanic in Elko to be there! So we are super animated and ready to get it going.

As well, our investigator Javier got his drivers license so he can begin taking his Less-Active grandma and brother and himself and his non-member sister to church! Can you say, "Cha-ching?" Jackpot's don't only happen in Casinos you know!
But yeah, things have been awesome!

Walking around Wells!

As well, here's some other fun news. In our mission there is this thing called "morning program" where missionaries can get together every morning and play sports at a church building for their exercise. Well President Godoy has been attending a few of them, and feels that it's not effective for missionaries to do any more, so he cancelled it. Now this caused some legit mass hysteria, but everything is leveling out! We as well were un poquito bummed, but we noticed some people working out in a garage across the street from where we live. So we walked on by to check it out and say hello, and they asked us if we wanna work out with them! So this lady is a cross-fit trainer, and she just runs  a full cross fit gym out of her garage, so we have been working out with them! It's a lot of fun and hopefully will pump us up every morning! Also, I'm fat so maybe this is a blessing in disguise!

OMG I ALMOST FORGOT WE WENT TO THE STAR (look it up)

We got to go down to Eureka for church this week, and it was so good to see everybody there. When we began sacrament meeting, there were about 15 of us there. But as the Lord says, "Where there are two or three of you gathered together in my name, there will I be in the midst of them."  And that's how it was! We got up to introduce ourselves and bear our testimonies, and in that little living-room sized chapel, I felt the spirit re-confirm to me the importance of gathering together in His name to partake of the sacrament. Awesome trip.

Not much else crazy this week, but I hope everyone has a magnificent week!
