Happy 15th Birthday Trent!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRENT!!!!!!!!!!! 15! EVEN MORE A TEENAGER THAN YOU WERE YESTERDAY! YUCK

 

So, this week has been great! To start off with, I had the best dream ever! Brief Story, It started off with me getting a patriarchal blessing saying that I was meant to destroy Lord Voldemort, but I really didn't want to do it. But I was finally flown over to the Red carpet of I'm supposing a kind of Hogwarts, somehow destroyed him into little bits and flakes that were falling around me. I didnt think anyone would like me. Then I found out they did, but were in awe of me :) And then Elder Uctchdorf flew in on a Flying Motorcycle to take me back home! WOW! Awesome right! Had to share that story! I have had so many interesting dreams on my mission!

 

Something else amazing is that we reached the standard of excellence in finding new investigators!

Last night, we taught a lesson to someone that had been a referral from the elders. He has had a hard life including one of drugs, biking, prison, and so-so. he met with missionaries many years ago (he had married a member) but would not give up smoking. Now, he has a huge desire to get baptized and just change his life around. He has a strong testimony of Jesus Christ and knows that the Book of Mormon is the word of God. He is just amazing! We are so blessed to get to teach him. I have been so blessed to be a part of teaching so many more people in this area, although we truly do need more.

 

Another Miracle came in contacting one of our investigators and setting up a return appointment. (The one that the husband slammed the door in our face the first time, but she is ready and prepared)  Well, we went inside for a few min. and the husband actually had a question for us. He said that he had studied religion a bit, and said that something that he believed was that we were all meant to be on this earth to grow and become like our father. He asked if we believed that we were meant to become like God in a sense! It was truly a miracle! This family has been so prepared to hear the gospel at this time. It was amazing to get to testify to him of the truth of God! wow!

 

Oh, something else fun that happened! Well, a few weeks ago we taught the law of chastity to an investigator who readily accepted it. we got out and got a text from our ward mission leader saying that Facebook said she and her boyfriend were pregnant... something they did not tell us. We taught her again and nothing was said, then on exchanges my companion heard nothing then, so this last week, we go in, ask how her prayers and reading is going, ask about the law of chastity, and then I say, "So, we were talking with a member and heard a rumor that might be going around, and we hate rumors so we just wanted to come right out and ask you about it. Are y'all pregnant?" Yeah, bold right! but I promise, it was not overbearing. Anyway, they admitted to it and we were actually able to have a strong lesson on how each of them (the member and the investigator) could repent and feel forgiveness for what they had done, so that they could learn from it, but also move past it. We also promised them blessings that they could receive from living the law of Chastity.  It was amazing!

 

I got to go! I love you puppy!!!!!!!!
