We had another pretty slow week but there were a couple of exciting things that happened. Both of them happened yesterday. First off, yesterday there was a "special meeting" that all members of the Cypress and Katy stakes were invited to. Well, they have announced the creation of the new Houston Texas Bear Creek Stake. They are taking some wards from the Katy stake and some from the Cypress stake to make the new Bear Creek Stake. Included is the Bear Creek ward. It was also cool because I got to finally see who President Allen is. He's Taylor Gammon's uncle so that was pretty sweet. He gave an awesome testimony at the end because he is part of the new stake so he will no longer be the Katy stake president. We watched it over a broadcast so unfortunately I still haven't been able to meet him.
Ok, so we were finally able to get back in contact with someone we taught a few weeks ago. Well, we were finally able to meet with him again yesterday. It was so cool to see how things all fell into place. To start off, we were supposed to see him on Friday or Saturday but we couldn't get a hold of him. We decided to go over on Sunday even though we couldn't reach him over the phone. So we go over on Sunday and he lets us in and tells us how he's been going through a lot. He has been having trouble with his marriage and his wife had walked out on him. We were able to testify of the savior and about trials. It was going well. Then suddenly the door bell rings. It's his wife who came to pick up some things, but she brought a police officer with her. Everything was peaceful and everything but after she left he was really upset about it. Especially that she brought a police officer. It was crazy how we were there at the right time, and were there when the police came so that he could have someone to talk to. We ended up finishing our discussion, reading a couple of powerful scriptures and at the end the member offered to give him a blessing. We gave him one of the most powerful priesthood blessing ever. It was awesome. I really hope we can continue meeting with him because I know that this is the path the Lord wants him to take, and the Lord is preparing that path for him. Anyways, there's the updates for the week. I love you all! Take care.
love,

We were visiting a member and they have a hairless cat. He has a hole in his heart and has major respiratory issues. He sounds like an 80 year old man snoring. Literally, first thing that came to mind was: Voldemort. haha!
