Hello family!  
How is everyone doing?  Sounds like the graduation went well, congratulations to Lauren and Spencer!  So exciting that you're finally graduated! I loved all the pictures of the graduation.  Loved all the outfits! Im glad that zack could go to the party, sounds like it was fun.  So jealous that everyone went camping before school starts.  It's been raining a lot here too.  
Anyways mainly on p days we just clean and wash the car and do our emails.  Sometimes we end up teaching lessons if mondays are the only days that the investigators can do.  Last week we went to the outlets though that are in the outskirts of our area so that was fun to look at all the stores.  I am healthy and safe haha don't worry.  Except this week I did burn myself on a grill, cooking for a member haha.  Its ok now though I put some aloe vera plant stuff on it and its healing fast.  
Yesterday was stake conference.  The temple president from the DR and his wife spoke and so did our mission president and his wife and some other people from the stake.  It was really good.  We even had two investigators come.  Which was impressive considering that it was about 20 miles away.  So that was really good!  And one of our investigators told us that she received her answer and wants to be baptized on Sunday!  So we are super excited.  It will be a busy week preparing everyone for their baptism!  Tonight we have a family home evening at a less active members house.  She wanted to invite lots of people to come so we are hoping that we can find new investigators and invite more less active members.  We are going to do a little activity and role play with the tree of life!  Oh and I got the package this week .  Thank you so much!  I've been using everything haha.  The picture book really helped this week.  Its good to be able to visualize the stories sometimes.  And my companion was really excited about all the stuff so thank you!  
Anyways I hope everyone is doing well and is getting ready for school to start!  This week I've been studying about the gift of agency and just how much control we really do have over our lives.  It really is a blessing that we have the ability to make our own choices and determine our own path.  So keep in mind that every action has a consequence, whether it be good or bad.  And that Satan will provide temptations to entice us to make poor decisions but Heavenly Father will provide blessings to help us do good.  Read 2 Nephi 2!
Well I hope you are all well.  I love you all and you are in my prayers!
