One of the people that I was teaching in Bowles Grove got baptized this week on Saturday.  He asked if I could give a talk, so I got permission to go.  It was super nice. I spoke on the Holy Ghost.  I of course had to share Moroni 10:5 (my favorite scripture since forever). It says "And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things." It was super nice to be able to see him again and see how much he has changed and grown closer to Christ in the last three months since I got transferred.  That was definitely the highlight of my week.  

Ashley was super busy this week with work.  She works at Macy's and everyone was returning things and such.  She was so busy that we did not get the chance to meet with her.  We stopped by yesterday.  She was sick and was also watching her nephew because his mom was sick.  We played with her daughter for a little.  It made me a little sad that we are not allowed to watch kids because then she could maybe take a minute to sit and rest.  At least we know she still likes us and is still willing to meet.  She asked to have Sundays off so she can come to church.  She is hoping they let her now that the holidays are over.  

[We met with a refugee] named Mebrahtu.  We stopped by Saturday with the mission president's wife (Sister Gifford) We tried to talk about the Book of Mormon but it was hard because we could not really understand each other.  Now Sister Gifford is going to help us find a translator hopefully though.  Sunday he came to church again.  We taught prayer using google translate.  Hopefully google translate was accurate.  Luckily our ward mission leader has a device that we could look up google translate on or get a translator app.  *cough* *cough* ipad. 

This week on Wednesday a missionary from our ward got home.  We "heart attacked" her house [(usually means stuck paper hearts all over her front door sometimes with nice notes- Ana didn't specify)] on Tuesday night so that was fun.  Sunday she gave a very nice talk.  She also gave us a bag of clothes to look through because she did not want them anymore.  She is super sweet unfortunately she goes back to school on Wednesday.   

Happy New Year everyone!  I also learned how to say it in Spanish because Jose's family only speaks Spanish so I was going to say it to all of them :)
