Well hello everyone.

 

Well i didn't put together a plan of what i wanted to write about this week, so i don't know what to say. Its been a good week. We have a ton of investigators right now and we have had so many appointments it has been great. I have really enjoyed having our days already planned out because we have so many appointments. But unfortunately the problem with that is, if we get to one appointment late, then ALL of our appointments are late.....which is not fun, because i always feel bad for those that are waiting on us. Thankfully that hasn't been too bad this week. I went on exchanges again to Lawrence this week with Sister Harroll. She is a great sister, she is one of the older sisters in the mission but you would never guess because she is so short and tiny, and looks 21. I feel like a giant next to her, always a bonus for self esteem. lol. But while we were there we had an appointment with a girl that we met and became a new investigator when i was on exchanges there a couple transfers ago. It was so great to see her again. I really enjoyed this girl the first time we taught her and it was super nice to see her again and talk to her about the gospel and help her recognize Heavenly Father's hand in her life. IT WAS GREAT! Thursday was great. We drove almost 100 miles Thursday because we went EVERYWHERE!!! We had back to back appointments all across the place. We had our district meeting which is usually on Tuesdays on Thursday and we had the honor of our AP's (assistant to the president) there. We did some fun practices and i learned some great things from it. I love our AP's they are really inspired elders, and very helpful! But i haven't even gotten to the best part yet. One of our amazing and GREAT and WONDERFUL investigators has been super nervous about baptism. we've been talking with her, teaching her, helping her feel more comfortable with it. And finally we prayed with her, right then right there and asked HF if that is what she needed to do, and she decided to go for it!!! so this weekend we will have 2 BAPTISMS!!!!!!!!!!!! Sunday we will have a combined baptism for Anthony and Lee Ann!!! WOO HOO!!! We met them both on the same day also, which i think is pretty cool, and now they will get baptized together. It is going to be the MOST AMAZING SUNDAY EVER!!!!! I am super excited for both of these people. We have taught them, gotten to know them, help them feel the spirit and grow and learn, and they both are so ready for baptism!! Now we just gotta keep Satan out of the way!

 

Well i hope everything is going well at home. I love you all and miss you all!!

Don't forget to share the gospel!!!

 

p.s. i woke MYSELF up sleep praying last night....isn't that GREAT?!!?....you know your a missionary when.....you sleep pray instead of talk!!

 

Peace Out
