where do i begin? it was a crazy busy week full of lots of travel between zone conference and exchanges! we also had a ward party that we threw and were busy getting ready for that! we were so nervous that no one was going to show up to the valentines party we threw but it turned out to be a huge success and was so fun! we did karaoke and had lots of yummy food, cookie decorating, etc.
we had an appt with flavio and maria (mom and son, flavio is 14) and flavio shared this story:  Flavio was asking a lot of questions and we talked to him about prayer and the feelings we receive from the spirit.  He responded with ya but praying is kind of scary.. of course we needed more explanation.  he then says, "i havent told my mom this but after we talked i went in my room to pray and asked god if he really does exists to give me some kind of sign, like a knock. then i heard a knock and i got a really warm burning feeling in my chest, i dont know what that was but it shocked me." what?! we responded to him by telling him that was soo cool and that that was his answer and that he needs to keep praying to continue to feel those feeling and to develop a testimony.
what a great kid.  im excited to continue watching him grow.  such a cool feeling to have in a lesson.  
ok i dont have much more time, were off to amsterdam today for a photo scavenger hunt pday with our zone!
love you all, have a great week!
