May 21, 2012


Well this week has been a fantastic week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On tuesday we had some great lessons with some investigators!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of them was Rosalinda, I love her so much, she is hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have to teach her really slow since it takes her a long time to learn things but she is still the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The other problem is that she cant read or write so we got her a book of mormon picture book which is great for her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We meet with her everyday and she loves the church so much!!!!!!!!!!! Her confirmation is this Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we had dinner at In N Out with the Iser family, they just got baptized in March and they are an awesome family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They both gave talks at the adult session of stake conference on Saturday night and their talks were great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then on wednesday we had zone conference all day which was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got to hear a lot of great trainings and I got to learn a lot of new things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Something that I really want to start doing is having our investigators write down the commitments we leave with them!!!!!!!!!!!! I usually write it down on a pass along card for them but its even better if they write it down because then they will remember it more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On thursday we had weekly planning which always takes a long time!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then afterwards we got to meet with one of our investigators!!!!!!!!!! We re taught her the restoration and all of the sudden in the middle of the lesson she fell over on the couch and started crying and she said she has never felt this way before!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She said she felt Heavenly Father hugging her!!!!!!!!!!! I know that it was the spirit she was feeling and she said she wants to be baptized!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only problem is that she wont come to church!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then at night time we got to meet with the Son family which is a part member family and they are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love them so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On friday morning we got to do some service at the parsons house which was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its a retirement home and I love all the people there so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are all so nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we got to meet with some people and drop by some people in the afternoon which was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Saturday was the best day ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got to meet with our investigator Christian in the morning and let me tell you about Christian!!!!!!!!!!!! He is seriously exactly like me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He requested a book of mormon from the mormon.org website a couple weeks ago!!!!!!!!!!!! He is 15 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is ready to be baptized and he wants to be a member so badly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he was asking us the same exact question that I asked the missionaries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His moms side of the family is jewish, his parents are divorced, hes a swimmer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is seriously exactly like me, I cant believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And his mom wont let him get baptized right now!!!!!!!!!!!! So I really want to talk to his mom!!!!!!!!!!!! He came to church yesterday and he loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited for him to get baptized we just need to wait for the spirit to work on his mom just like how it worked on my mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then at night time on saturday we got to go to the adult session of stake conference which was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Isers spoke and their talks were great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On Sunday we had stake conference which was really good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got to hear from President and Sister Durrant!!!!!!!!!!!!! We also got to hear some other really great speakers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This week has been awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it here in the Dallas 1 and 9 wards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love being a missionary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never want it to end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also love this church so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope all of you have great weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
