Broccoli again? (Name that Movie)

Family!
This week has been good!
We've had a lot of miracles to start off the new year!
First order of business, we had to drop our investigator :/  She wasn't 
keeping commitments, and it was border lining on her using us as 
counselors...uhhh, we're 2 kids, definitely not counselors.  We talked 
to President about it, because that is what our District Leader and 
Zone Leaders advised us to do. President told us to stop with her..
the problems she has we can't help with, unless she wants to build 
her faith in Christ. So, we called her last night. It was really hard. 
She got a bit angry, but in the end she understood.  We told her that 
until she was ready to make the commitments that the Lord has given 
her, we can't help her.  She responded by saying "I'm ready now."
We told her that if she lives the Word of Wisdom, reads the Book of 
Mormon and the Bible, and prays every day for the next 2 weeks, we 
will work from there. She said she would do it. I'm really praying and 
hoping that she does! She has so much potential!! 
Next, 
On New Years day we had so much fun. We couldn't proselyte, so 
the Zone got together and played Volleyball, Kickball, Basketball, 
and Board games. We also watched Aladdin, and Emperor's New 
Groove. (permission to watch G rated movies!) 

The next day, it was back to the grind! 

We've been working really hard to find people to teach.. We were 
able to contact 2 Referrals we received the week before! They both 
are awesome. We keep praying that something will give, so we can 
meet with them, and guide them towards the waters of Baptism! That 
would be ideal. Not going to lie, we currently, don't have a single 
investigator. I don't understand what's happening, we're obedient, we 
work hard every day, but still, no investigators. This is part of the 
mission nobody tells you about.. I know that Heavenly Father has a 
plan. I know that there is someone waiting for us! We just have to find 
them. 
Funny story of the week...
We were at a members house for dinner the other night. Bro. F, Sis. F, 
and us were sitting at the table talking, while their kids were playing in 
the family room.  Their daughter comes in and announces her brothers
arrival....  He pops in, wearing sparkly mickey mouse ears with a veil, 
a tutu, and a purse, he holds his hands in the air and yells "I'm so fancy!" 
So many laughs with this family!  I love them (:
Welp. That's about it family!
I love you, so much!
I hope you have a great week, you're always in my prayers!
