Hey Family!

Sounds like everyone had a good time on the pioneer trek back home!

 It's been another good week, even if not super eventful. We're continuing to teach our investigator and she is making so much progress! It's really a miracle to see whats happening with her. From the time we first met her, she has completely changed so much, she is happier, she has so much desire to do whats right, and she is experiencing the joy of the gospel! We taught the word of wisdom, and she is making so much progress in stopping smoking. She already hasn't for 4 days now! She just wants to live the gospel and she wants all the blessings associated with it. I feel like we're not even doing that much, but it's all coming from God and His help. The members are catching the excitement of the work as well. They love helping us with her and are really enjoying her at church. The Relief Society usually goes over 20 minutes because they don't want to stop talking! Her baptism is still on date for the 14 of July and everyone is looking forward to it, especially her! I feel it is such a blessing to teach her, and I'm learning a lot in the process.

This week I really studied the Atonement a little more in depth. I really just tried to comprehend more what our Savior went through for each one of us. It really is amazing and such an act of love what He did for each of us. We really never will be able to understand what exactly He went through, but I am so very grateful that He did it. For what He did, we can never do enough to even come close to repaying Him. But He loves us, and that's why He makes up the rest with the Atonement. So why can't we just remember that more often, and just do what little He asks.

I spent one day in Zilina this week on exchanges and worked with Elder Johnson there. It is a beautiful city and I really enjoyed it. We saw some really cool things during that time, and worked our hardest. Here in Trencin, we are definitely seeing miracles though! The work is pressing forward, and I'm grateful to be an active part of it.

So it's been so hot this last week. One night we fell asleep with the window open because it was so hot, but then there was this thunderstorm in Trencin at about 2 in the morning so that woke us up. We had to close the window, but then it was extremely hot again. Oh, humidity. We've had to sleep in a different room this week in our apartment.

So, not too much else.  Elder Zabriskie is still just a great companion and I'm loving him! We're continuing to work hard! Keep praying for us!
