Bonney Lake Week 2

hola!
this last week has been a great week! its still so weird being in an area where is still cant really find my way around! but its great i love the bonney lake ward its a great ward with alot of really good people here!
this last week has been great i really like serving in puyallop its alot different than issaquah but its great! we had a pretty neat miracle yesterday at church, we walked in and we say someone that was in regualar clothes which is a great sight to see for a missionary cause that ususally means there is someone there to teach! but before we could get over and talk to him he came up to us and introduced him self! he is awesome his active grandma just moved in with him so he decided to take the church for a "test run" and see how he liked it, and needless to say he is now on date for baptism for july 7th! he is awesome he is 15 and is a great kid. 
this week we had a zone meeting and we gave a training on being a desciple of christ, for the first time i think i really started to understand why that is so important, especially for missionary work too.  it was neat because i think often times we forget that the most important thing to do is strengthen our relationship with god and make sure we are clean and pure, we can get distracted by so many other things that a good things but take our attention away form that.  when we are striving to be a desciple of christ we can keep him as our focus of all we do so we dont have those distractions and keeping our selves pure is probably the greatest thing that we can do for our selves and for others, because when we are clean we are receptive to the spirit and we can be used to help others or know what god ouw have us to to further his work. that is just something i have been thinking about a bit this past week i hope that you can take something from that.
i hope you all have a great week
love you
