Hello all. I have hardly any time this week to email so this letter will be very short. But it was very week good! We were able to teach a couple of lessons which was awesome! Me and Anziano Anderson went on a scambio with the AP's it was cool. Anziano Rosenberg and I went to a meal appointment with a member couple and an investigator, it was really good. The guy that we were teaching is named Robert, he is here from america and is working on the temple. We shared a spiritual thought on Matthew 7:7-11 the verse 7 talks about asking and seeking, verse 11 talks about gifts. This passage is talking about prayer, after we ask and truly seek for answers to our prayers we can recieve a gift from God and that gift comes in the form of an answer. God loves us and knows exactly what we need. After we said the closing prayer Robert opened his eyes and said "it looks brighter in here". It was a very special experience that I will never forget.
This week we got a ton of referrals and we were actually able to meet with Godwin he is a very good guy! All the others either had nonexistent addresses or scheduled with us and didn't show up haha. But teaching Godwin was amazing! He is from Nigeria so the lesson was also in English. So we were able to share the message of the restoration and the spirit was very strong! We are planning on meeting with Godwin some more this week! We are excited for that!

There is a great love that I feel for people when I teach them and it is so cool. I know that the love I feel for them is just a hint of what God feels for each and everyone of you!
Sorry this letter was short. Thank you everybody for the prayers and love, I hope you all have a good week!

A message and picture sent on Facebook-
Sister Ruiz, Our family is living in Rome for my husband's job on the temple construction, and we just had your son, Anziano Ruiz, over for dinner. He is a fine young man, and I was so surprised to learn he has been out only a short time--from his maturity and strong spirit I would have guessed he had been out much longer. He's going to be a huge strength to the mission. He gave a wonderful lesson to our family about counting our blessings, and he played paper airplanes and gladiators with our sons (age 6 and 4). I can tell his heart is in the work and he is serving honorably. Great job, Mom and Dad! --Laurie Hurst
