Crazy whirlwind kind of crazy!!

Hello familia!
So today as already been a great day. We went to the Waffle House again (same one i went to a year ago) and I still LOVE it there, the waffles are divine, it was a great start to the week.
We had a family night at the mission home on Monday with the Temple president and his wife there. It was really fun, and the lesson was on recognizing the spirit more, and they told some really neat stories. Also found out that they both went to Weber High and were high school sweethearts. Hmmmm that sounds really familiar?? That was a fun connection.
There are a lots of little details of things that happened this week but, I really just want to share what I have been observing. With these new converts and the ones from the previous year when I was in this area before. Sister Butt and I are just HAPPY when we are around them, they have a light, and are just excited about the gospel and what others to know and to do what they are doing. We had given Paco a Liahona and he had started to read it, his roommate who has never really had much interest in what we've had to say, looked at it and was just kinda flipping through it. All of the sudden one day Paco realized it had gone missing, and that his roommate had taken it and had been reading through all of the talks. SCORE! haha, Paco was on track saying that he was just going to act like he hadn't taken his precious magazine, and we have now formed a plot where we are going to strategically bring over other Liahonas so his roommate and just happen to pick it up and read them. Genius. He is just doing so great, and has a calling and is already trying to help and serve in the church, always says hi to everyone. He is great.
I am grateful towards the end of my mission to see some of these new converts really be converted to the gospel. It is so fun! It is a treat for us to go over to their home and see their excitement. It is an aspect that helps keep us going. There are lots of aspects to the conversion process and I am grateful that I have been able to see them. Things are crazy and busy, and we will be getting a new mission president this weekend. We are excited for the changes and all that will be happening with missionary work. This weekend is temple weekend! We are going to get everyone there! That is our goal!!
Love you all, have a great week!!
