Miracles 4 dayz

Fam, 

Oh my goodness I'm so glad you all had so much fun in Newport! You are all total babes in those pictures (every time I show sister Bradford pictures of you guys she says "your family is a dream!" ) also Europe, what?? Looks like it was amazing! I wish I could say I'm jealous, but to be honest I'm not even hahahaha OHIO FOR LIFE! Dad, I sure hope you get feeling better! Prayers comin your way (even though I already pray for you guys every day) but being sick is no fun! 

These last few weeks have honestly been miracles after miracles after miracles. The work is finally picking up and we actually teach and find people! So the niece of the new convert (Lacey) is the one we just started teaching. She is so awesome and I asked her if she's old be baptized after the first lesson (she said yes) and we are planning a time to come teach her the restoration! (We taught the plan of salvation last time and she just ate it up. ) she's so prime. So that is looking hopeful! Elaine and Chuck are both doing the things we ask for the most part and meeting with us, but we're having a hard time to get them to understand the importance of this being the 1 true church and the priesthood, but it will hopefully come with time! We met a super nice lady who just came up to us and started talking to us about what we do. Her name is Shelley, and she said she always turned missionaries away but had a Mormon friend who told her that she should let missionaries help her. She doesn't have really any religious background but she hpgave us her number and she's really excited to meet with us! We also visited the mom of a recent convert from the ysa ward, and she was really hesitant. But then she texted us asking when church was so her son could come, and invited us over and wants to set up a time so she can make dinner for us. MIRACLES. 

Well I was reading a talk called the fourth missionary by Lawrence E. Corbridge and there was a part that I really liked! "The purpose and central blessing of life is change. It is to be changed to become more like Jesus Christ. It is to incorporate into your character, the qualities of His character. It is to move from one degree of intelligence and capacity to the next, and from there to the next, until you see God face to face and know Him as He knows you." I have really come to see that there is a never ending staircase to Christ, but each step that brings us closer will really open our eyes to where we are and the potential we can reach!

I love you all so much! I have no idea why my words just turned red, I didn't even push any buttons..., darn iPads. Regardless, I hope you have just a wonderful week! Also I just realized that my pictures last week didn't send :/ I'll see what I can do but I'm almost out of time (also dad I will write that letter to the priests as soon as I have time :))
