So this week has been full of some ups and some downs. It was a little bit slow this week, but all things in the Lord's time. Anyway we are really trying to continue to help the L.A and find new Inv. we were able to find a new one last night and the Willard's are still doing good we weren't able to teach them this week but we have an appt. and a dinner set up for next week with them. Hopefully we will continue to see success and find those people that the Lord has prepared. As far as the guy in his 20's it wasn't going to go anywhere so we dropped him. We have a ton of potentials right now and hopefully this week we can change those into investigators. It will take the Lord guiding us what to say and his spirit touching them but i know that it can be done. We have also started to see some success with Member this one family in particular has really been helping us out and they know a bunch of people that we can teach so hopefully we can work with them to begin teaching them. The other low part other than it being slow has been the humidity. The other day we went and tried to meet some people at a big community yard we didn't have any luck but it was early in the morning and probably around 60 degrees and the humidity was so high I was sweating from just standing there it was pretty miserable. But just another joy of being a missionary.
Last night was a pretty exciting one. Call outs came in and almost everyone in the zone is being transferred. I will be staying and I will also become a trainer. I will be training a new missionary. I am excited but nervous for this task. Hopefully I can share what little knowledge I have with him and I will just have to rely on the Lord to do the rest. I know if I turn to him he will help me prepare this new missionary and finish preparing myself.
I will really learn to rely on the spirit for this one. It just kind of made me think through of some of the stuff that is in my patriarchal blessing and some of the things I heard in the MTC about being a leader that I told you about. I guess I can see those things starting to take shape. Keep your fingers crossed that they don't call me as DL though we just lost ours and I don't think I am ready to take that one on yet. Well any ways the work will continue to progress, I have been working extremely hard at trying to be obedient and have seen the blessings that come from it. Continue to read from the BOM and to pray every day and night. I challenged Sarah and I want to challenge Ben, Mom and Dad and everyone else to read through the BOM from cover to cover by the end of the year. I know the blessings that come from studying the scriptures and the joy and the happiness that can be felt as we do. The Lord will bless us for studying them and we will see the evidence of it in our lives.
Anyways got to go. I love you all. Hope all continues to go well you are all in my prayers and i appreciate the love and support.
