Okay time goes by way fast! I am already done with my first transfer it is crazy!
This week has been awesome!
Heavenly Father is really looking out for me. We started teaching Camille and she wants to get baptized! I am praying A LOT that she will be able to withstand all of the temptations that satan is sure to throw her way and she will perserver to the baptismal font and just love every second of being dunked! I am also praying that I will be able to help her become converted to the gospel so she is a lasting member and doesn't go inactive somewhere between now and when she dies or ya know the second coming is here ;) but she is awesome and I am really excited to be teaching her.
I was having yet another rough morning on Saturday. I was really struggling to know if this is where God needs me to be so I spen the majority of my personal study just praying to know that I am where God needs me to be right now and I am doing the things he needs me to do and he answered my prayers throughout the day. We were able to talk with Ryan again and we answered some questions about the Book of Mormon (HE HAS BEEN READING IT!!!!) So he said we could come back on Saturdays to talk with him. We just have mini lessons on his front porch because no one wants to let the crazy Jesus girls into their house until they know they aren't really crazy. We also met another guy named Andy while we were tracting. We probably knocked on 30-50 doors and literally only 4 people answered and one of them was a member (we have like 3 or 4 members on every street and it is always awkward when I start the door approach and then they tell me they are in my ward). So needless to say we were not having success while tracting. So we knocked on this door and to our suprise someone answered! And even more suprising he said "Yeah I would love to hear more tell me something right now." So after I got over the initial shock of someone actually wanting to hear the amazing message of the restored gospel I testified of living prophets and the book of mormon and then my comp backed me up it was awesome! And he took a Book of Mormon so we are going back and it is going to be great. Then I found a dollar!!! I was stoked about that :)
Okay how awesome was the broadcast!? I am so blessed to be a missionary right now when God is really pushing for missionary work, (specifically MEMBER missionary work, did you get the hint?) So no you all better get out there and do some awesome missionary work. I thought it was way cool how President Packer said "I know the lord lives, and I know the Lord" I want to be able to say those words with as much conviction as president Packer. I may not be an apostle of God but I am certain that I can come to know my Savior just as much as president Packer does so that is my goal to be able to say that "I KNOW the lord" not just that I know of him or I have faith in him but that I know him.
Ready for some big scary news? I am training!!! We got transfer calls last night and I am training a new little Greenie fresh from the MTC and I am so nervous. I feel really inadequate but I know that with the lords help anything is possible. Luke 1:37. Please send me your best training advice :) asap!!! I can use all of the advice I can get. Also please pray for me and my new comp we need all of the prayers we can get!
