This Week...

We got these at the dollar store for one of our fave members 
in the hospital & tied them to balloons

Was one of the best! Seriously! I can't even believe all the good that happened this week.

1) The Sisters came down from Wilmington and we had a waffle day at our place and then went to the beach. Such a blast!

2) I went on exchanges and it was a BLAST! Seriously! We got to teach a few of their people and it was so much fun! I love seeing different areas!

3) We had zone training. It was SOOOO inspiring. Sis M and I went in with a question of how can we find progressing investigators and the Zone leaders set new goals so that we can find through our own efforts (tracting/contacting) for an hour a day and it was an answer to our prayers! We have been applying it to the best of our ability and we have already found two new families through the help of the Lord! The P and DLC families are sooooo wonderful! We have already taught them two lessons and the people who came with to the lessons were excellent fellowshippers!

The P family we have a met a few different times. They live across from a less active member in the ward. We first met the husband in Decemeber and invited him to the Christmas party. Once we got talking about his family, he even brought out his 3 month old baby and introduced us to him. SOOOO CUTE. The way we met the wife was a lil more embarrassing on my part. I accidentally BARELY hit this car while backing out. And yes Sis M was backing me out!! haha embarrassing. Anyway, she was outside and we got her contact info in case they tried to say it was worse than it was or anything like that. (We left a note on the car and they never called, btw haha)

After zone training their faces popped into my mind and we stopped to see them! She was so receptive! We shared a Book of Mormon with her and she accepted a return appointment for when her husband could be home.

We went back yesterday and it was AMAZING! I haven't taught the full restoration (without any stops... some people learn slower...) and IT WAS AMAZING! I love teaching the gospel!!! SO SO MUCH! :)

They accepted a baptismal invitation and date for March and I could not be more excited!!! :) Their family is so great and she gave such a good and sincere closing prayer. I LOVE THEM!!! :))))

The second family we found is Hispanic. They are soooo great! The wife is so sweet and she's Catholic. She was super open to hearing what we believed. Her husband came in midway through us talking and he isn't very religious but really supports her in what she wants to do. He goes to church with her every Sunday but says he never listens! I basically begged him to listen for 10 minutes but he said his English isn't very good. Anyway, they ended up accepting a return appointment when we said we would bring someone who could teach him in Spanish.

We brought the S family over. All 7 of them and to my surprise Sis DLC didn't even care that they were all there! Gotta love Hispanic culture... Or just her kindness! Bro. S taught the whole lesson while we just sat there and smiled. I was happy when I interjected, "You don't have time for God!? You gotta have time for God." When I heard him talking about how busy he was working hard for his family. hehe look at me, pretending like I know Spanish.

Anyway, we had no idea where the lesson was at until Bro. S asked when we wanted to set our return appointment! Classic! So great. Then they asked if we wanted to stay for dinner. Sis. M. and I just looked at each other hestitantly and then said yes.

OH MY GOODNESS SOME OF THE BEST FOOD EVER! hahha it was a blast.

I love being a missionary. Not mainly because we get to connect with some of the most faithful members of the church, and help the "lost sheep" but because we get to connect with people who have never met a "Mormon" before and we get to teach them a happier way to live! I love the gospel so much.
