We found a family!  I have been waiting my whole mission to find a really solid family where everyone is interested. For some reason, most of my investigators to this point in my mission have just been individuals. It's C-- and G-- and their 14 year old daughter. C-- is a mail-carrier in Ventura but she lives in Fillmore. Elder Carter and I actually found her while we were on exchanges in Ventura! She told us she lived in Fillmore, and set an appt. for us to visit her and her family. After the first lesson on Monday, they invited us back for dinner on Thursday and we were able to follow up on their reading in the Book of Mormon and answer all of their questions. It went really well and the whole family has committed to read the Book of Mormon.  She said she thinks it was fate that she just happened to run into a Fillmore missionary on her route in Ventura. She is really awesome with a way cool fam.  It turns out mailmen are people too! Who knew?
