7-27-11 Hey family, It is awesome to hear about the mission calls for the boys in the ward. That is pretty crazy that Brian is going to Wisconsin, just above me. This has been by far one of the toughest, but best weeks of my mission so far. We decided to visit all the less actives in our branch and found a new investigator. He is the husband of one of the less actives - their family reminds me of Jessie and Aaron's because they have 3 cute little girls who are very outgoing. We have worked very hard and that is what is keeping me so happy - being able to work that hard and then be able to see little miracles happen as we work. The number of lessons we have been teaching lately has dropped though due to all the baptisms we've had. We still have 1 person on date, we just don't know when because it had to be postponed. We also have a young family who we will start teaching sometime next week, we saw them last night and they are having a garage sale and are selling a kitchen table and chairs for $20, which we need and will likely buy. Also our neighbor upstairs in our apartment building offered us some nice couches for free! Friday night and Sunday morning were crrazy because of big storms. We have church at 9 and it rained hard during all of sacrament meeting, so we helped people get out of their cars with umbrellas and kept them dry. There was no major flooding where we are - so no worries. I forgot to mention that Saturday we had a Pioneer Day celebration at our building, which was a lot of fun. They had a corn-hole tournament and good food. It has been just a fantastic week, and I think things are only going to get better. Thank you all for your love and prayers, God Bless, Elder Josh Sorensen
