Hey everyone I’m so excited to be able to walk all day again we had a lot of success this week but it was all less active member work it was amazing! So it was fast Sunday and we had 2 less active part member families there and one of those families went to Nauvoo over the week and just bonded as a family. They all said the spirit was so strong they said they didn’t ever want to leave. Their testimonies were so strong and powerful I couldn’t believe it. The father of the family is the least active and he decided that his testimony was ready so after 38 years of being a member and just going through the motions and hearing everyone else’s testimonies. He wanted to share his for the 1st time with his family and the ward it was very spiritual! Their daughter Colleen is 17 years old and she is the most active member of her family she has great friends in the young woman’s group and they keep each other on the right path. Our goal for that family is to get her father the priesthood and have their family sealed in the temple for time and all eternity. Families are so important and I want my family to know that I love them so very much!! It reminded me so much of those days where my whole family would give their testimonies! So we are working on some new investigators that we have found one of them his name is Ron he has been investigating the church for 1 year and is always asking really great questions. I challenged him to read 2nephi chapters 31 32 and to pray to know that this is the true church. I know that if he does this god will answer his prayer!! We had a ward baptism this week as well is was very cool it reminded me a lot of when I was baptized by my father I can remember so much from that day its one I’ll never forget. It also reminded me of my farewell talk hope it was good ha ha I don’t remember a lot of the things that I said but that’s when the spirit takes over for you. For service this week we had the opportunity to serve food to the seniors at the senior center is park hills and all the old ladies love us and they are a blast! Then we do the dishes there as well every Wednesday its getting fun because I’m finally getting to know all the people there. We have lots of missionaries and sisters leaving our district this week and some will be going home this Wednesday so we had a very spiritual district meeting this week and I was the role play investigator. It’s so hard for me to act that out because I always use my best friend Evan and I realized what I should’ve done for him while I was at home and how it was a mistake not to share the gospel with him!!! I wish I could’ve swallowed my pride sooner for now I feel like I’m too late to help him L This experience has taught me a very valuable lesson on humility though I’m very thankful for the opportunity I have to grow from this experience and be a better missionary!! I had my 1st Zone leader Exchange this week as well and it seems that wherever I go that I can connect with whoever we are teaching better than the missionaries that are in that area. The people love what I have to say to them but its not me at all the spirit of the lord tells me what to say and I don’t argue with it. One investigator shared with us his 1st 18000 foot skydiving video and explained how that feeling was indescribable. So I related that to the spirit of the Holy Ghost and how we can tell how it feels but you have to experience the joy of the spirit on your own and now he wants to get this gift and be baptized at the end of the month!! The zone leader was very impressed and couldn’t thank me enough, but I don’t get to baptize him L So I’m kind of bummed on that but I’m so very happy for him and his wife !!
