Hello everyone out there! We have exciting news both from Elder Frogley and from Dad this week! As for Dad, the Area Seventy over Cache Valley suggested the stakes in the area have a special fast last week for moisture--they've been suffering a bad drought. So many of the stakes participated, and many prayers were offered asking the Lord to bless them with moisture. And indeed they have been blessed! The windows of heaven were literally opened to them and blessings were poured out in the form of ridiculous amounts of snow and rain! Miracles DO happen! Prayers ARE answered! The Lord loves his children and blesses those who humble themselves before him and recognize his hand in all things.

And as for Elder Frogley, I'll let him share his own awesome news :).

Wow! Impressive week in Utah! Congrats! Gods looks out for us for sure. My week was pretty chill. And with some epic blessings. I start out with the investigators.

First off we got the two kids baptised. Alefe and Gabriel. Their parents singed all the paperwork and everything went perfectly. Alefes mom went to the baptisim with his sister and they said they really liked it. His moms 30 and his sister is 11 I think. His sister said she wanted to be baptised and i told his mom that she´ll be baptised on Saturday. She laughed cause she didnt think i was serious, but then she didnt believe me. We explained that she needs to prepare and everything and she said she wants to be baptised but she doesnt think she can be ready so soon. Thats when its nice to have green eyes. Everyone here thinks theyre beautifull so if you stare deeply into a womens eyes for long enough they just accept baptism. Haha, and it worked cause we marked her baptisim for saturday with her daughter.

This week we also started teaching a women who has been trying to get baptised for a long time but cant stop smoking. Her entire family is already baptised but she hasnt been able too. When we started visiting her she was smoking three times a day. Weve been passing in her house every day and at night we asked her daughter to read the scriptures with her. For the past few days shes been down to one a day. We marked her baptism for saturday and I think that shell make it for sure. Shes doing very well. 

Finally, Edna! You remember Edna right? Eduardos and Lucas´s Mom? She finally went to church! Eduardo had to go to church early to bless the sacrement but he told Lucas not to leave to church without mom and like a good son, he ignored his moms complaints of ´´Im tired, let me sleep.´´ and made her go to church. She had been promissing for ever and finally she got it done and she can now be baptised on saturday! She liked church and everythings ready for her baptisim! It took  while but we got there. 

as far as new stuff goes. Our neighbors got a new dog so we have someone to play with at night. Thats cool. But nothing really crazy happened. Love yall! Tell me how skiing the beave goes! If you use my skiis be carefull! but you can use them if ya want. Love you!
