Well this week was a very eventful week!!!!!!! On preparation day after we emailed we got to go and play volleyball with the district and some youth members and it was a TON of fun!!!!!!!! It was sand volleyball and it reminded me of the beach a lot!!!!!!! Then after dinner we went tracting in some apartments over by the Allen mall which was great and we got to talk to a lot of nice people who are interested in the church!!! This week was a week of many exchanges!!!!!! I didnt get to be with elder sullenberger that much!!!!! On tuesday and wednesday i was with elder dunbar and then on friday i was with elder hong!!!!! tuesday was great except i just kept stressing out because a lot of our appointments kept falling through but elder dunbar was doing good at keeping me calm!!!! elder dunbar is a very quiet kid but i got him to talk because im able to get anyone to talk, even if they are mega shy!!!!!!!!! elder dunbar and i had a great two days in my area and we worked so hard!!!!!!!!! i have a funny story that happened on tuesday: While we were tracting we knocked on this one ladys door and she answered the door and said that she wasnt interested in the church but she gave us some water bottles. ten minutes later we walked past her house so we could get to the other side of the street. she must have been watching for us through the window because as soon as we walked past her house she came running outside and told us that we believe catholics arnt going to heaven and "it says that in our book" and we kindly told her that we believe everyone has a chance to go to heaven!!! she started looking through the book of mormon for the verse but she couldnt find it and her hands were shaking because she was so nervous!!!! We just bore our testimony and then left. Then like an hour later she came driving down a street we were tracting on and she was in her car and she called us over!!!! she drove around in her car to look for us!!!!!!!!!!!! she had her book of mormon and read a verse to us in Moroni 8 that talks about how we shouldnt baptize babies and she interpreted that as catholics cant go to heaven!!!!!! its so funny to listen to things that people think of us and their interpretations of certain scriptures!!!!! Elder dunbar and i got to go and see connie and gary which was great!!!!! i love them so much!!!!! so far we have a baptismal date with connie for october 8!!!!! she just needs to quit smoking!!!! i got to give her a blessing yesterday!!!!!! Yesterday was a farewell for a guy in the branch so we both went to the farmersville branch yesterday and it was great!!!!!!! Tyler is going to be an awesome missionary and Sydney Australia better be prepared for him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then last night the zone leaders called and they were using my article from the new area for a spiritual thought with an active family and they called me because they wanted me to bear my testimony over the phone to the family while it was on speakerphone!!!!! i love bearing my testimony at every chance i get!!!!!! a testimony is such a powerful thing and it can be as simple as that you know that Jesus Christ is the savior. If you say that to someone and the spirit is there, then you can increase someones faith SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this church and i absolutely LOVE being a missionary!!!!! i hope all of you have awesome weeks and remember to always smile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
