Hey family!!!

i sure love you all. sorry i'm emailing late, we went to great falls today. it was nice. but like elder moodie said with the heat and the humidity it feels like 200 degrees!! lots of sweating hahah!

mom your hair looks nice, stephen you look like you have a zombie eye!!! hahah hope it gets better!!!

this week was a little low on numbers again but we had some pretty cool miracles!!!

This one day we were tracting and we saw two kids playing some soccer, so we asked if we could play with them and they said yes. we asked how they wanted to do teams they said them for versus us! we thought "hmmm easy win" hahaha! so we decided to make a deal. if we win we get to teach their family, and if we lose we get there "address" so we can bring them some ice cream! .....they won..... hahah! but at least we got their address so we can teach them either way! haha. we were really embarrassed that we lost... :(

on tuesday we had another spanish forum to go over rules and just talk. i had to give a 10 min presentation/teach on good studies. i really enjoyed it and tried to make it fun. i called up 4 volunteers and then made it like a game show! i quizzed them on if they remember certain things like "what they studied that morning", "a talk from sacrament mtg", "and from last friday" stuff like that. then i emphasized the importance of using a study journal and review your notes. tried to make it fun.

then on the 4th our ward had a nice bbq! so good, haha!!! one of the members from argentina cooked the meat so you know it was great! ahah then later in the night one of our members invited a lot of the missionaries to watch the fireworks from her apartment. they have a great view of the show across the river! it was really nice...but not as big/long as you would think coming from the nations capital...i've seen better! but they did have some cool fireworks that spelled u-s-a!

one of our miracles we met a man tracting who's wife recently died of cancer....he really opened up to us! and we were just able to testify and teach simply about the plan of salvation, he was very emotional but by the end he was feeling so comforted and peaceful! it was such a great experience to be a part of! so we'll see how it goes with him! we went back and taught his little brother who was really nice too!

we had a referral from the english elders that we checked up on and her name is yasmin. her husband recently left her and her son (alexa 19 and played on the usa -18 mens team!) yasmin is such a great person and really opened up to us as well!! she cried and also felt the spirit really strong! she really loves us! she calls us her little angels! haha, it is awesome!

mom, i went on friday to get my thyroid checked. so hopefully its all taken care of!

this thrusday is transfers..i hope i stay one more with elder olivo, but i might get transferred. i'll find out tomorrow evening though. God's will be done!

everything else has been going good. just working hard even with a lot of rejections. we're not sure what's going on haha, we have had a rough patch number wise these past 3 weeks, but we are working hard and being obedient so it'll pass!

i hope you enjoy the pics! love you all!

Con amor,

Elder Lifferth
