Hey everyone!

Well this has been a great first week. We have found a ton of new investigators. We haven't slept much because that's part of the whole training experience but it has been a blast. We are working with lots of families because that is what this church needs to grow: families. We have found lots of miracles as well.

One miracle happened Saturday in the morning, we were waiting for a bus to go to a little village in our area where there are members. As we were waiting a man approached us and asked "Elders what are you doing here?"  We explained to him that the church was opening in this area and he asked us for a Book of Mormon. He is a member but has been inactive for 11 years because there wasn't a church nearby to where he lives but he is excited to begin attending again and is going to bring his family and his children are still not members! That was a huge miracle and we are going to visit this man's family this week and help them come back and make sure his children are baptized so they can enter into the temple.

We have had lots of experiences like this but we need to get people to church on Sunday. So this week we have planned 2 activities in the church in order for people to go and gain trust in us so that they have no problems in going on Sunday. This has been an awesome experience but it also makes me a little sad because I would love to be in an area and work like this a lot longer than what I have left. But I push forward! Miracles are happening.

Love you all,

Elder Daybell
