W.o.W........Week of Wack

This week was so emotionally confusing idk even how to describe it. It was Fan-freaking-tastic but wanted to cry more than watching Seattle throw the ball on the 1 yard line. Now time to esplain myself. So last Sunday we met this guy named Kyle and he is really good friends with Erika. So we got to teach him with one of our members and he had a LOT of really good questions and we got to answer and explain! It was awesome! We ended up being able to teach him like 3 times this week and it was amazing! He met 2 different members and even said wants to come to church!!!! Through out this week we did a lot of door knocking too and we found some pretty cool people to teach! But we got a call late into the week and asking if we could sing with another member at a funeral. ......... really what...... me..... again? Did we not learn the last 2 times?? Hahaha i have no clue why i have to keep singing.... this is the 3rd time! We sang "Bright Beam Our Fathers Mercy" because it was his FAV song. So that actually worked out pretty good! Better than my other times hahaha. Then Sunday comes around and we had 3 of our people come to church! That was good! We had Kyle even show up! And it was so awesome he was taking notes and was listening very intently! It was so good! But then after church and after a meeting we had we went to go talk to him about church. And he pretty much said "yo, being mormon aint for me." And we talked to him a lot and tried to see whats holding him back. And it all just stems from a testimony of the Book of Mormon. Its so important we all have that because there are some REALLY REALLY SPIRITUAL churches out there but their missing something very important and that's the Priesthood. With out that its just mans church but with it its truly Christs Church. And that's what the Book of Mormon brings because IF its actually scripture and true THAN Joseph Smith truly translated it by the power of the Priesthood! 
I love y'all so much!

This week was AH-MAZING! It started out with a really awesome lesson with Erika! We went to their place and had an awesome lesson just about the basics of our beliefs! It was so cool to hear her talk about how she knows it's no coincident she met us the night she did and stuff like that it was so awesome! Then Tuesday we had interviews with good ole President McCuistion! And it was really good! Great experience! Then Wednesday we had our first correlation meeting with our new ward mission leader! He's so Awesome! Very very in tune with the spirit! We had a lot of good things here happen! We had 2 people tell us they want to be baptized after they learn a little bit more! It has been a very very very eventful week! Saturday we had exchanges and I went out with Elder Clawson and we went to see lots of people from the area and invite them to church! It was awesome to see all them! Then Sunday we had Erika and her daughter Ella Kate come to church! It was so amazing to have them join us! They loved it they said!

CINCO DE MAYO and 10 Months

This week was crazy fast y'all like good guac! Lots of really cool things happened this week! So Tuesday we went on exchanges and i got to go out with Elder Grandy! We got to go to a small town called Mt. Hope! While we were there we met this lady Ilene and we got to talk to her about the Plan of Happiness and when started testifying and the Spirit was super strong and all of a sudden you could see it light a fire in her and boom all of a sudden she was like "I got to go..... people are in my basement bye. *Slam*" The Spirit hit her so hard she got shook it was so incredible to watch her Spirit know the truth of what we say but she had no clue on what to do! 
Another really cool experience is when we were out seeing some Less Active members we met this really awesome family named the Radkes! So she is a member and hasn't come in 40 years because her husband isn't a member and she wants to have a good relationship with him! She still has a very strong testimony and knows the church is true! It was so cool and he is such a really good guy! He's suuupperrrr funny guy! We have been knocking so many doors trying to find the 1 we need to and we have been pouring  our heart and soul into this area! I love this place so much dude its so amazing! 

We got in contact with Erika this week (the lady who texted last week) and have a lesson with her  tonight! She's so awesome!  We are gonna be talking to her and her daughter too! And Sunday we got to do service for the Red Cross and put fire detectors in homes and that was so awesome we got to get into lots of houses and put a good name for the church out! We even saw people who had pass along cards in their homes hahahaha!

 Well that's pretty much the bulk of my week I love you all so much!!
