One Year!!

To all,
Well happy Memorial day!! This is a week of a lot of really cool things in my life... First off, on the 25th of May I realized in the morning that yesterday I was baptized for 2 years. May 24th 2009... It seems like it was yesterday. Then this Thursday it will be my 1 year on the mission... That seems like 2 minutes ago haha. I remember that day very well. One of my favorite parts is the picture Jason and I have in front of MTC sign. It symbolizes a lot of sacrifice from a lot of people, first off on his part and on mine. But I don't know if there is another picture that means so much to me. My main missionary Jason Parkinson. Yeah he is a great man and I am so grateful for his and Tres Layton's service... And all those other incredible missionaries that kept being pumped into Wilsonville.
Well Monica and Miguel Rodriguez are progressing so well!! Gosh they are such a great family!! They have taken a lot of steps of faith to find happiness. That is what it is all about!! Happiness!! I don't think it gets any better than that. It is so great that God has given us all He has to simply make us happy... I am happy that is for sure.
Also a really cool miracle!! These have been happening quite often lately so I will finally share one... So my new companion and I were out knocking... and before we were going to go to another area we both agreed to one more door... So we went next door and knocked... nothing. Dang it was tough so we went to the car and then there was a guy who pulled up in his car and said that he was wanting to change his life and wanted to hear abut how he could do that.. Wow, so Juan now has a soft baptismal commitment.
Well things are great and we are excited for the week to come!! Yay!! Miss you all and have a great week.
