"I love that movie"

Hello! Yesterday we had Mission President's Fireside. It's a meeting where converts to the church speak about their experience and share their testimonies. We invited July, and he came and brought his girlfriend! We haven't been able to teach his girlfriend yet, but hopefully we will soon! They both really liked the Fireside and his girlfriend even started crying during one of the talks. One of the speakers was talking about the Joseph Smith movie and July turned to me and said, "I love that movie." This kid just watched the Joseph Smith movie by himself. He's a champ. He still hasn't been able to get work off to come to church, but they're training some new people so hopefully that will change soon! His mom and 3 of his siblings came to church yesterday though! I'm super excited about this family. 

Another cool thing! Remember Sue and Eh Hser? The awesome teenage girls? Eh Hser is the one who couldn't come to church because she volunteers on Sundays. Well she quit her volunteering because she wants to come to church! She was going to ask her boss to switch days, but there's so many other people that want to volunteer she decided to give other people a chance to volunteer as well. She's super cool. :) 

Sorry this email isn't super long, I love you all! Have a good week!

Our zone at zone conference! 6 Karen speakers, 6 Hmong speakers, 6 Spanish speakers, and the Hurleys! 

My mom and sister sent this "one year" banner in my birthday package. Apparently they forgot I was turning 20 :/

Just to clarify, we did not forget it was her birthday, we were just way more excited about her hitting her year mark! hahaha

Mom notes: The emails were pretty short this week. The only extra I have to add is that Brooklyn mentioned it's already getting pretty cold. In the 50's and 60's. Everyone in Minnesota says this winter is going to be bad....but that's what they said last winter too! 

She sent this "sad face" picture of how she felt about getting a flu shot at zone conference. haha
