So last Friday we decided to walk to a less actives house and knock on the way. She technically lives in the next town over but Main Street is the same street in both towns. It is very confusing. Anyway, we had a miracle. As we were walking I thought, "wow this is so much farther than we thought maybe we should walk back and drive" but then I was like nope we gotta keep going. There was just something that was pushing us to keep going. Sister Cragun said she had the same thoughts. Anyway, we found the most golden of gold investigators. Her name is Shayne and she is the most prepared person we have ever met. We told her about the Book of Mormon and she was so interested in it! We met with her on Monday and the spirit that was in that lesson was amazing. We taught the restoration and invited her to be baptized February 19 which is so soon but she is so ready. We were supposed to meet with her again on Friday but she was sick. Hopefully she will call us today so I can have another lesson because she was so excited to learn more. At the end of our lesson she was like okay what's next? I love her so much!!
Another funny Sister Cragun story: We were visiting this man Paul Curtis who lives in a nursing home and we try and stop by once a week to share a message. Well Sister Cragun was talking and then all of a sudden he points at her and says, "why aren't you a man?!" Apparently he was referring to the fact that she is a strong speaker and so she should be a priest (we think he forgets he is a member sometimes...).
We went to the temple on Wednesday!! The Philadelphia Temple is so beautiful!!! Sister Johnson and Sister Jacoby took us down. So Sister Cragun wanted to take me to Tommy's Lunch Truck so while we were walking out of the welcome center we ran into Sister Prince and her companion. Sister Prince was Sister Cragun's companion before me and it was like they hadn't seen each other in 12 years. Sister Prince and her companion came with us to the temple and then out to lunch with Sister Johnson and Sister Jacoby. We went to Reading Terminal Market for lunch after the temple (we had Tommy's Lunch Truck before the temple because that is not excessive)
That's pretty much the excitement the past too weeks. I eat too much Nutella and I love Sister Fuentes's onion and tomato salad so I think something is wrong with me. Anyway, families are forever and I love the temple because of that. I know that if we let the spirit guide us we will not go astray or miss opportunities to share the gospel. I hope you all have a fantastic week and remember to always focus on Christ.
Lots of Love!

Don't call it a philly cheese steak. Just call it a cheese steak or people will know you aren't from around here.

Why am I sending so many pictures of me? I have no idea.

Sister Cragun makes me pose weird for pictures. 
I woke up the other morning with Nutella on my arm. How did it get there? I have no idea... I think Sister Cragun is secretly feeding me at night.
