Hello everybody!

 This week was a flash!  Elder McOmber and I have truly been blessed.  I am still getting used to daylight savings, but it is all good!  On Thursday we went over for an appointment with Myosha, and we knocked on the door and she wasn't there.  So we knocked again, and again.  Finally we called and she told us "oh hey, I am next door, give me a minute and I will be right out."  Well, sure enough she came out and so did some of her friends;  Sherica, Corey, and Xavian all came over for our appointment.  I felt more like we were giving a Sunday School lesson than teaching investigators, but I am in no ways complaining!  We are really impressed by Myosha's drive to share the gospel.

This next story takes a little background.  A few months ago, Elder Johnson and I were in an apartment and stopped and talked to this man and woman getting out of their car, Fernando and Rosy.  They invited us to come back to teach them.  When we went by, they weren't home, but a few weeks after that we ran into Fernando at a gas station.  He seemed a little standoffish but was still friendly.  Well, two weeks ago Rosy just walked into church, and last Monday Elder Lefevre and Elder Cardenaz contacted Fernando and got a return appointment for us.  We have gone by and taught him every day since then.  He just wants to know all about the gospel and loves learning.  There were also a ton of little miracles all throughout the week, but those are the big ones!

I Love Y'all,

Elder Riley Layton
