Birthdays!

It's been an exciting and full week! It was both my birthday and Elder Blacks (my companion) and that was really fun!

Both birthdays were really good. But what was especially awesome was that the surprise party that the youth and ysa members put on. We regularly have an activity on Thursdays, where we have a spiritual message and then play games and stuff. Long story short, we ended up playing a minefield game and several people before us played with blindfolded on. Then me and my comp put them on, and they opened a side door thingy and pulled the blindfolds down and there was cake and treats and they all sung happy birthday. It was an awesome surprise and was way fun!

Besides that, the week has been really good. But something not so good happened! For some reason my phone deleted almost all the apps on it! It turned out that it's happened to several other people in our mission because of some sort of glitch with something on the phones. But it isn't good because it led to even the Area Book App (The app we plan on and has all the members and stuff) and Facebook getting deleted. So hopefully that get fixed too!

This week we have had a lot of miracles, but one was especially of notice. There is someone we have just begun to teach that we had planned to try to get in contact with by going by their home on Monday, but some things came up so the Sisters needed the car which left us unable to get out there to where our true d lives. So we instead went and tractsd in a different area around 20 minutes away from where our friend lives. As we were walking away from reacting that night, we saw a person walk behind their car for just a second. It looked like our friend. We went over, and it was him! He was out with his work visiting someone and ended up coming to where we were and walking outside his car at the perfect moment for us to see him! If we had gone by him instead, we would have missed him. It was a really amazing little miracle!

I hope you all have a fantastic week!!
