4/29/2014 Great Week

This was one of the best weeks of my mission.  Sharli is having a baby!  Ok, yeah, there are other reasons too. :)

  We had exchanges with the Sister training leaders in Harlingen this week and Sister Garry came down to Riverbend to work with me.  It was a delight working with her, she was so positive and had so much faith and we saw so many miracles!  I love exchanges!  We contacted a referral named Rojoberto and he immediately let us share our message with him, except I wasn't sure if he was prepared to hear the gospel at first because he had a lot of doubts of being able to change, and not really wanting to change.  But the spirit touched his heart and he is one of the most driven investigators we've had.  We shared the book of Mormon with him and have a church tour with him this week.  We prayed for water, and this man whose house we had visited, had gone to the store, found us out contacting in his jeep, and gave us two cold water bottles.  We plan every half hour now, which is crazy!!!  And we are so driven to reach all of our goals.  We received a lot of referrals this week and one just plain popped out at me, all it was was an address, so we contacted it and found Eva, who wanted to be baptized. :) We found some other investigators who felt confused about which church and weren't willing at the beginning of the lesson to go to any church, but after the spirit touched their hearts want to come and be baptized and want the changes in their lives that come from living the gospel.  Edgar and Edel, our recent converts haven't been doing super great, which is hard, but we got to have a great lesson with them this week and Edgar even came to the Missionary Talent show that we had on Friday.  It was a good turn out and I rubbed a quarter into my elbow. I think the audience really enjoyed that, except when I turned around the quarter had stuck to the back of my neck because of the lotion that was on it! or I guess you could blame it on humidity :)  It is getting really hot!  The three of the four youth that we are teaching had church tours this week, which were miracles that we found rides for.  They didn't come to church though. :( but we know what we have to do: teach their parents!

Got to go!

Love,
