July 1st, 2013

How have y'all been today? This week has been good, but training again always seems to make the time go slower again. But that's okay. We are still working on trying to find new investigators, having more lessons, and having more involvement from the ward. Missionary work is a never ending work!
 
A few highlights of our week begins with one of our investigators who wants change so badly! She has loved us coming over and sharing short messages with her and she is earnestly seeking for the truth. Yesterday, a lady in our ward had an extra bouquet of flowers that we dropped by our  investigators home. It is amazing to see the way that people can truly change there lives.
 
We have been trying to give cards away to absolutely everyone that we meet. And this morning, we received a text from a man who has questions, looked at the website, and wants to learn more! Wow! That is a great miracle! We are so excited to meet with him. He already told us that he wants to get baptized and all of this is through text messages. People really are all around us. That is why it is sooo important to invite everyone to learn more or go tot activities.
 
And of course the best thing ever happened yesterday called RAIN! tons of it! We had planning and even studies this morning outside! sooo nice and sooo missed. We all loved it. Everyone in our complex was coming out and looking at it. At one point, the wind changed direction and I screamed just a bit as I got poured on. But it was nice, because the other people saw we are normal people and one nice lady even came up to us and started talking. It was a lot of fun for everyone. There was even lightening and a bit of thunder. We are all expecting rain on the 4th :)
 
After the broadcast, our stake president announced a stake wide fast for rain and missionary work. We are all expecting miracles and have even seen a few as the plan is being put into motion.
 
We have something else that has been amazing going on in our area. So we have a large, classic, missionary map on our wall that is color coded into areas. And as we have been trying to find new people to teach, we have been guided as to what area we need to work in. For example, week 1, it was the blue area, and we went to many different streets in the area until we found him! Then in the yellow and we found 2 people! next I'm thinking Orange, but not yet sure.. its been miraculous to recognize some sort of direction as to where we need to go.
 
Safety- Trying to be safe always, even gave an iffy man over to the Elders to teach just to be careful!
 
I love you all thank you for  your prayers!
 
Mom: I am sooo excited for you to get to teach RS! That will be so great! and a lot of fun for you  to do. Of course, I think I'll pass on that opportunity personally, but the way our WardMissionLeader is talking, we will see. I miss you so much! having a trunky companion does not help, but its nice to think that I really don't have much longer here, and hopefully enough time as well. Your notes are the best, and always make me smile. hey, you could get me stationary or card set or something for my bday! that's it!
