This is one of my favorite emails. I love that Mitchell is having such awesome experiences. The story about Adam and the power of prayer and how Heavenly Father knows how to show these missionaries what to do. Mitchell is growing everyday and learning what his Heavenly Father expects of him.

so this week has been pretty great we have gotten like three new investigators and another one this sunday. the merritt family is one they are like set the are getting baptized some time in the near future! way cool. then there is a girl named crash i not sure i told you about her or if i did sorry ha but she is way cool and she kinda has a set date of sep. 17 to be baptized !! then the other one we have we have not got to really meet yet so dono bout them but way cool i just hope i dont get transfered this time ha.
but any way the highlight of this week was one of our old investigators adam and brandee they are the younger couple that have been seeing the missionaries for a while now and have not been to reseptive until just like two weeks ago. ha so it was last week i cant remember the day but we were sleeping. ha and i woke up cuz my blood sugar felt sooo low so i woke up and got some juice and went pee. i was sitting in bed when i heard like this pounding noise. i was like what ?? then i heard it again! some one was pounding on our door! i looked what time is was and it was 3 o clock in the morning !! i was like elder!!! haha. any way we finally got up and went to the door because the person what not going away! we open it up and we see adam drunk out of his mind ! hahaha more drunk people ! i dont know what it is about us and drunks but we sure do atracked them ha anyway. he was really mad and worked up about life i guess he has been having a really hard time he cant find a job and he has a lil girl and his wife to take care of. every one gives him such a hard time for it but he really is trying to make a good life for them its just really hard. so we were trying to give him advice not really knowing what to say just going as the spirit directed. we accually said some pretty powerful things and he liked it but he was so worked up and made he wouldnt listen he just kept saying ive prayed and i prayed and nothing is getting better and im about to just give up im done guys im done. it really was so sad to see he is such a good guy and so i looked around as it was quiet and saw that all of us me adam and elder blatter where folding our arms. ha man it was like the spirit kicking me in the face!! i said hey lets say a prayer and so we did and i dont even remember any thing i said but man could you feel the change. the holy ghost felt like he was now in our little circle. when i was done we looked at adam and he just was quiet.. then after a minute of quiet he looked up and said wow guys i feel really good. im not mad any more ha. it was such an amazing feeling i have not felt the spirit so strong it so long you could almost see it it was so thick the feeling was just indiscribable.. he ended up talking and feeling alot better and then went back home. im out of time but i just wanted to share this with ya to show ya that the power of prayer is so really and we need to do it alot more ha sorry got to go i love you all so much and ill write soon hope ya liked story cuz i loved the expirience i will never forget it love ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
