A lot of it comes from President Caplin, Troy & Tabby, Rose, Donald & Danita, Courtney, Children such as Cali, Joshie, Anaya, and our new friends from Erithia (next to Ethiopia)!
I believe these miracles happened because of the faith of Sister Cunningham and myself. Our view and perspective shifted and we believed we could achieve anything, and find anyone!
Like President Nelson has said in Oct. 2016,
"The joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives.
“When the focus of our lives is on God’s plan of salvation … and Jesus Christ and His gospel, we can feel joy regardless of what is happening—or not happening—in our lives. Joy comes from and because of Him. … For Latter-day Saints, Jesus Christ is joy!”
Honestly we did a lot more walking and tracting this week than usual, and it was hard, but because of our attitude and our gratitude of all things and people that we do have in our life, at the end of each day we had such a great miracle!
We had Interviews on Thursday and President Caplin said something so inspiring! He said, "To keep finding...It's a lot easier than you think, your faith is higher than you know!"
We put ourselves down all that time, thinking, "Oh, I don't have enough faith for that!" Or "I can't do that!" When in reality you have already seen the benefits of the great amount of faith that you do have to make things happen! We all contain so much more hope than we think! We have, and believe in, the Savior, the Light, Life and Hope of the World!
I am so grateful for President for saying these inspired words, it has already altered my mission and the perspective I have of my life! I will forever remember the Faith he has always had in me!
To start things off, we had dinner with Troy and Tabby! We had Afghan Bistro! Basically, Lamb, rice, spinach "things", curry, pumpkin dumplings, chicken, eggplant, and a whole bunch of spices from Afghanistan. Troy said it's the closest food around here to actual Afghanistan food! (He's in the military so he's been over in Afghanistan!)
They are AMAZING! Troy read some of the Book of Mormon and had 20 questions, at least! All of them were really good!
Tabby, Mrs.Virginia and we got to go see her on the military base and we got to sit on Santa's knee and take a picture with him and our copy of the Book of Mormon!!
I am so grateful for all the things this week has taught me and am glad that I have grown from them!
Jordan B Peterson: "There's very many people who have not heard an encouraging word in their life, and it takes so little to encourage them, that it's rather tragic".
Smile at everyone you see and give them all a compliment this week! 
Give others the benefit of the doubt! Give YOURSELF the benefit of the doubt! Love God because He first loved you! Know that you have done great things and can do great things-- If you BELIEVE!
Always love,
