November 14, 2011

Well this week was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On tuesday we had district meeting and then we all ate lunch at the church which was great!!!!!!!! its always a lot of fun when our district gets to eat lunch together and we get to talk all about our investigators!!!!!!!!!!!! Then after that it was time for exchanges!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Elder Mchardy got to come up to my area with me!!!!!!!!!!!! it was great and we got to come in contact with a lot of people!!!!!!!!!!! Elder Mchardy got to meet Laura!!!!!!!!!!!! She is one of my favorite investigators right now and she is hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love her so much!!!!!!!!!!!! We found her because she was sitting on a chair outside of her apartment complex and she asked us if we gave out free food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we started talking to her about the church and she ended up wanting to learn more!!!!!!!!!!! She used to hate the church but we have been over there a few times now and she came to church yesterday and now she loves the church and she is getting baptized!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she went around church yesterday and introduced herself to everyone, it was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she just has a smoking problem but we can get rid of that!!!!!!!!!!!! she really wants to stop smoking which is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! her ex husband and her daughter are both members of the church but they are less active!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She has changed so much since we started teaching her!!!!!!!!!!! I love how the gospel and the Spirit can really change peoples lives, i have already seen it happen so much since I have been here!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on friday I got to go down to Allen because Elder Sullenberger had to do a baptismal interview for some of the elders down there!!!!!!!!!! So elder calderwood and I got to spend the evening together!!!!!!!!!!!! We went to a park to go and contact people and it was great!!!!!!!!!! we ran into a group of like 30 high school kids and I wanted to go and talk to them but elder calderwood didnt!!!!!!!!!! I forced him to, so i lead the way and started talking to them!!!!!!!!!! they all had such great questions and they all wanted to learn more about the church!!!!!!!!! they were all really cool!!!!!!!!!! they remind me of the people in newport, they were wearing toms and vans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we ended up handing out a lot of pamphlets to all of them and it was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never be scared to talk about the church with people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! share it with everyone that you come in contact with!!!!!!!!!! you never know who the Lord has prepared next to learn about the gospel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My week was pretty good and church was good yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love church because the spirit is there the entire time and its just so much fun to talk with all the members about how the week was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope all of you are have an awesome week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! transfers are next week so we will see what is going to happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you can do all things through Christ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
