Hi! :)

Eh... I know my goal was to write this blog first but I just did not feel like it today. So I didn't.

Shout to Lacy for getting married. WOW. SO happy for her. The pics looked amazing and she is stunning. And so are all my friends. Also thanks to Kaity for printing out a huge picture of my face? hahahahaha.... I LOVE IT.

Okay. Mission update time! We found 7 new investigators this week! WHAT WHAT WHAT! It's because it was a bike week and that's when all the miracles happen. Haha jk not all of them but a lot of them. We were able to talk with so many people this week and hook them in real quick with the Book of Mormon. We can't wait for our follow up visits to be able to share the Restoration in full. What a wonderful area we have.

We have got to see a lot of miracles with the members as well. We are getting to know so many of them and we are so happy to be here!

I have bruises up and down one of my legs and it is kinda weird...

But... alas, TWO OF OUR INVESTIGATORS CAME TO CHURCH! It was a miracle. Especially one of my favorite ones (I know, I shouldn't be a respecter of persons) but she came! She really came! She is the one that's super passionate about the Bible and the Trinity. But we will get her there. False. The Spirit will get her there. We will see her on Wednesday and asked her what she thought about church.

The other investigator who came already discontinued us because she said she wants a church where she can clap in. So there's that. Haha But it's all good because the gospel of Jesus Christ still changes lives. In time... haha

I was a very tired missionary this week. haha Seriously! But I endured and now I am feeling much more energy.

Honestly, one of the highlights of the week was our Zone Training this past Wednesday. The Spirit was just so strong the whole meeting. The instruction was insightful and it was just wonderful. At the end of the meeting, one of our trusty zone leaders stood up, paused, and said, "I'm so happy right now...." pause "I hope you all remember this day." It was such a great meeting. It was wonderful.
 
Excerpt from letter to the Mission President: 
We had a miracle story this week! We had mighty prayer to be able to do service for someone, anyone! Everyone was giving the typical "We're good" answer, even when we felt like we were asking in a higher law way. We continued with persistence and diligence. The morning of a service opportunity we were blessed with, the person got sick and had to reschedule. We were not discouraged, but we were a little disappointed. We continued in our studies, only to see a group of people right outside our back window in matching shirts with shovels. What could that be, you may ask? It was a service opportunity placed right in our laps! We changed quickly and joined them to help pave and make a parking lot at a disabled home. They were from an accounting firm and gladly welcomed our service. A few of them had questions about the logistics of our missionary work. It was wonderful to share what we do. One woman was especially appreciative and said she had always had questions about our day to day lives. I know the Lord provided us a way to be effective as we strive to have 7-8 nets in the waters of finding the elect! 

Okay... well I really don't know what to talk about so I'm just gonna finish replying to people. Lawlz.

GREAT WEEK. Looking forward to another great week.
