Dear family,                                                                                                                                           August 11, 2008
    Is it P-Day already?  Wow, days go by so slow but the weeks just fly by.  I decided that P-Days are the most stressful day of the week.  There is alwys so much to do I almost don't look forward to them.  ha ha.  I wanted to thank all those who sent things this week.  The mailbox was consistently full so that was great.  I love the pictures and notes from the little kids.  They are the best. 
    Well, for sake of time I will launch right in to the miracle story of the week.  For a couple weeks now we have been praying and fasted for just one someone who has been prepared and really wants to learn.  In the Book of Mormon I read about Amulek's conversion and decided that was who we were out to find, someone like Amulek. 
    Well, after praying to find someone like Amulek we received a referral from Salt Lake City for a man named Wayne Olado.  He wanted a Book of Mormon after visiting temple square.  Well, we visited him this week and he told us all about how he spent two and a half days at temple square while his wife was in a convention.
    He is a contractor and has done really well in life.  But as he told us, he has always felt like there ought to be something more to life than making money and working.  He said that he has been looking for real peace and happiness and that the people in SLC had it.
    He came to church on Sunday and had a tour up at the JSM.  He enjoyed it all pretty well.  We can't meet with him this week because of his work but he said he might come next week to church. 
    Obviously it is really early yet and there is likely to be a stumbling block or two but we feel like he is the answer to our prayers.  Now we have begun to pray that Satan will be held back until Wayne can gain a strong testimony.  Pray for him too.
    God answers prayers.  We are excited to have someone to teach.  We pray that we will be humble so that things can move forward.  On that note, I'm grateful that this is God's work and that I'm just an instrument.  Have a wonderful week.  I love you all.
