everything here is going really good weve been working really hard and trying to help out alot of less active families in the ward! we actually re activated 2 already it was so cool to see them on sunday it was a really good experience. one of the families we had never met before and we saw them in the street and thought it was a non member family so we went to contact them and they told us how they were less actives and that they had actually been waiting for the missionaries or members to stop by cause they needed a blessing for their daughter so we went to their house gave the blessing and had a lesson and they ended up going to church it was a really cool experience!!! there are no coincidences right???

 Val & his companion cooked up some BBQ chicken.  In his words it was "legit."

One of Val's past companion's-- at the change meeting- going home to his family.  

Elder Pace & Elder Galvan.  Collin is from Gilbert

he went to Highland High School & his mom is the one who set up the lunch with me & her & Elder Ward's mom Julie.  The Pace family went to pick up Collin & spent 9 days in Nicaragua, visiting families that Collin had baptized & seeing the sights.  Denai sent me a text a few weeks before they left & asked if she could take something to Val for us.  We were so excited! So we put together a backpack with lots of his favorites and some supplies he needed to get him through the last few months. When we listened to the voice recording he sent, he was definitely surprised when she gave him the "package."

This is Brother & Sister Pace with the boys.

Moms!!!!
