Hello my dearest loving family :)
This week has been full of miracles. I am going to copy and paste my email to my president. it tells of a really cool story!
Sister Young and Sister Mucke we out on exchanges this week, which meant that Sister Straatman and I were together. Sister Straatman is an amazing sister. I love her dearly, and I know that the Lord is looking out for her. Well, when we were together, we stopped by a potential investigator. Sister Young and I found her the day before, and decided that we needed to go and see her again, so we did. When Sister Straatman and I went to her home, we were invited in, and were able to meet her family. We found out that she was raised Catholic, and was a born again Christian for 16 years. The reason she was willing to have us into her home, was because of her husband. He has studied many different religions, and is helping his wife be more open to what others have to say. I know that there is a scripture that talks about how if we have the spirit of the Lord, then we will not be confounded before men, and that scripture explained our night. She was really curious about why we have the Bible and the Book of Mormon. It was incredible to go and have the Spirit speak to her. At the beginning of the night, we invited them to read the Book of Mormon, and he said yes, but she said no. right before we left though, she asked us for a Book of Mormon, and said that she was going to pray to know if it was true.
I know that the Lord gave us this miracle because of our faith, and our prayers. It is something that I needed to see happen, and I know that the Lord put Sister Straatman and I there at that time for a reason.
It is incredible how the Lord works for us.
The sister that we taught is my first investigator that I found!! We went to her house, because I felt inspired to go there!! It was amazing to know that I was there, because the Lord wanted me to be there. I love this work!! I know with no doubt, that this family is going to get baptized :) The Lord has prepared them, and all I have to do is be there, and then He will speak to them.
How amazing was conference?!?! Elder Hollands talk meant so much to me. It was really neat, not a minute before the Saturday afternoon session started, I told my companion how much I hated depression. And then the Lord sent Elder Holland to speak to me. To tell me that all was going to be okay. I love the inspiration that the prophet and the apostles receive. I received so much comfort with Elder Holland said that broken minds can be healed. my depression is just something that I am going to have here, in the mortal world. It is not going to be with me when i go to heaven. It will leave. I know that this is a challenge that God gave to me, so that I would be able to learn and grow, and because He knew that I could handle it.
My depression has gotten better. it is still there, but I am able to work through it. my companion is a huge help. she can tell when things are starting to get worse, and she sits me down, and tells me to talk to her. I know that the talk that Elder Holland was an answer to our prayers. For the past 9 weeks we have both been praying to have Sister young know how to help me, and then He answered us. I keep hearing the scripture that says that He will answer our prayers, in his own way, and his own time.
I am praying for you all daily. I love you so much, and i want you to know, that I know that the Lord is there for us. I know that we can receive answers to our prayers, no matter what the trial may be. He hears us, and He answers us. I know that we can turn to Him always. He will be there, even when we think He isn't.

I love you all so very much!! Never forget that.
Let me know if there is anything that i can do for you!
Love you bunches!
