August 24, 2015

This week was filled with some serious adventure!!!

Monday: We had a great preparation day! Then we were able to meet with a less active, and we were trying to find more people to teach.

Tuesday: We had a super great day! So we got up and we tried a lot of people. So we had tried some in a trailer park, then we ate some lunch! Then we went out and tried some more potentials. Then we were heading over to our appointment, and we were 10 minutes early and we were wondering what to do, and I had a persons name come to mind and she lived just 2 houses down so we went over to her house and was just getting out of the car and she came flying out of her house door in tears!!! I was able to talk to her briefly and let her know that her heavenly father loves her! and that I was prompted to come see here at this time for a reason! She gave us a day and time to come back to talk.  I know we were in that area at that time for that very reason! it was very powerful!  Then we tried some more potentials Then we had a super great lesson with a lady we had been trying to get into contact with for a long time and had a great lesson!

Wednesday: we had a great district meeting! our district leader is new to the district leader stuff but his training was super amazing! it helped me to understand more of what I can improve on! Then we were able to meet with a couple of less actives in Bedford, then had a dinner appointment with a member then we had mutual after a meeting with the new branch president! I really like him!!!

Thursday: We had weekly planning! Then we ran around trying to meet with people. we didn't have much luck but we were able to talk to some amazing people!

Friday: we had to bike from the house because we are super low on miles! so we are going to be biking for pretty much the rest of the month! haha. WE were able to meet with some less actives and we continued trying to find new people. it feels super awesome biking around all day! so while we had stopped and was taking a break this little tweety bird flew over to us and landed right under my bike! and it just hopped around underneath me! it was super weird! but super cool!

Saturday: We got up and mowed a members lawn, then we ate lunch, then we set out on our bikes and set up the church, and we also continued tried meeting with people, but we were able to talk with a lot of people outside!

Sunday: Today was a super great meeting! We learned about the Sabbath day and how to keep it holy! very powerful talks! he talked about how it went from the holy Sabbath. to the Sabbath day to the weekend, how it has gone down in importance very slightly! it was very interesting. Then we went home ate some lunch then set out on the bikes! WE were able to meet this pretty sweet guy That liked hearing about the book of Mormon. we were also able to clear up some beliefs he had about the Mormons that weren't true!

But to make this week so interesting! So about Tuesday I got this rash on my leg! don't know where it came from or how it got there! but it was driving me crazy so finally on Friday I called sister brough. she refered me to the mission doctor and he said based off of what I described and what the picture looked like he said it was an infection of my pours so yeah.... but he got a medication for me and it is now clearing up!

But other than that note this week was fairly productive! Persistence and hard work will always pay off if we have faith! We need to always put trust in the lord and we will be blessed as we rely on him!

I love you all and miss you! keep putting your trust in the Lord!

Love,
