"Wow!!!! crazy things are happening we are SOO busy! 15 potential investigators, 13 investigators and hundreds of less actives!!!

Its been 112 degrees, and very hot. I am so excited for my brother Eric!!! YAY he is going to love his mission!!! Also , I bet you all are excited to see my sister Amy again! :) Yay for adventures! 80% of the People in my area are black or Hispanic! It is very exciting! Sister Dixon and i are working super hard!!! we took a small break during our lunch hour to play Go fish with pass along cards! HAHA.

Its funny, the Spanish elders said that they where biking through their area (which happens to be rough), and they saw police arresting someone or just doing their thing, and the cops looked up at them and waved and shouted "Hi Elders!!!!" Its also very funny, because when the police see the elders biking home at 9:00 they will take out their intercom and say "Go home elders!!! Its almost 9:30 elders!!" And one police man even started to sing "Call to Serve" over his intercom! HA!

There is so much happening in our area. It is so humble and so ready! many of the less active members have unbaptized children, so we are teaching the children, and helping reactivate the whole family at the same time. Its hard, but worth it!

A family of 4 came to church on Sunday and told us they wanted to learn more! we can help with that! I just love being a missionary. We don't convert anyone...the Lord does! He leads and guides us everyday! It is so awesome!

Summer is hard for missionary work in someways...we are waiting for families to come back from Africa and Mexico so we can finish teaching them! :) Sister Dixon and I get along Perfectly!!! Its so wonderful, she knows how to whip out the bold sauce "Is there a reason why you haven't been able to come to church much?" :) We are just trying to help people feel the spirit more. You are so blessed as you read your scriptures, pray, and attend church. I think any religious person would agree to that! :)

If anyone is pondering Eric's safety....He will be great! HE IS AN AMAZING MISSIONARY already! Who doesn't love Eric! I LOVE HIM!!!!!!

Just remember to keep your testimony strong!!! The Family we live with has a HUGE nectarine tree ! YUMMY

Be safe and remember we grow so much through our trials! more to come next week!
Love sister Sprouse.
