Hey y'all! so this week has been super amazing! my companion was sick for a few days so that wasn't fun but inbetween we had some really good lessons! First we went over to a lady who used to be taughts house name Aurora. It was such a great lesson! WE had been praying what member to bring with us and a lady in our ward came to mind we called her up and she was more than willing to come. We didn't know what ot expect when we got there really but we knew that we wanted to teach the Plan of Salvation. It was so amazing! The member and Aurora hit it off right away and during the lesson we found out that they had gone through much of the same trials with being a single parent and stuff. It is amazing how the spirit really can tell us exactly what we need and when we need it to help the investigators out.
Also this week James got baptized!!!! can I get a yeah yeah!! woot woot! He really is just amazing! he is already telling all his friends about hte church and is trying to get them to meet with us! He invited all his facebook friends to the baptism he was so excited about it! The best part of the mission really is seeing someone you have come to love become so much happier through the gospel. and I know that the gospel is the only thing that can bring true happiness. One thing that James has taught me is if you know its true then nothing else really matters. His whole family is completly against the church but he knows that its true and that baptism was the hext step for him.
We also had another cool experience this week in Zone Training. We were talkign about inspired planning and how when we are planning our day we really need to let the spirit guid us so we can be where we need to be. one of the activites we did was to go and pray adn see if we needed to change any plans that day. So as me and my companion were praying we decided that we did need to change thema little bit and go visit a part member family. So later that day we stoped by. ti was amazing! it was the Dads birthday so it was the only day that the whole family was there all at once! we were able to talk with them for a little bit and the dad really opened up to us. in lessons before with other missionaries he would just sit there and not answer any questions but this time he was super open about everything! so that was a huge step! Im so glad we were able to follow the spirit and see how it will bless them and us as missionaries.
Im trying to think of a funny story for y'all this week but I dont really have much.... but I got a nice little love story! So my recent convert Kurt came to conference at the church on sunday and met a lady in our ward named Tonya.... well they got to talking and when we drove by the church 2 hours later they were still there talking! so obviously we decided they were in love. So we went to visit Tonya on saturday to go over her mission plan but it ended up her telling us that they have talked for like 5 hours on the phone everynight and they are going on a date and everything! oh it is so adorable!
So life lesson General Conference= eternal companion
