Missionary Work in the singles ward is....Awkward ha ha

This week had the wonderful opportunity to teach the law of chastity to our investigator who was supposed to get baptized on Friday but is now moving to Kentucky and that was a bummer but we felt she wasn't ready completely for baptism and this is God's will for her and she needs to really develop more faith in Christ. She is great but teaching her the law of Chastity was definitely a new experience. She kept bringing up movies and television shows that she really likes that reminded her of breaking the law of Chastity. It was really random and all over the place and we had a married couple there with us that were probably thinking, "this girl is nuts" but I love her she is amazing and I am really going to miss her. Teaching her has been so great because it has really showed me how the Gospel of Jesus Christ is fit for ALL people. Regardless of how different we all might be. 

We were teaching Jane this week on a park bench near a lake and this guy walked by and asked if we were doing a Bible study and we said, "Book of Mormon study" and he said, "Oh cool" he proceeded to walk and I asked if he wanted to join us. He said he had homework and that he probably shouldn't. We gave him a Book of Mormon, we didn't write our phone number in it or anything, and told him he should read it. He said he didn't want to convert or anything and Jane blurts out, "That's okay I am Jewish" haha it was pretty funny. So he left and then yesterday we got a call from some Elders and said, "This guy said he met a couple of blonde girls who were teaching another girl on a park bench and they gave him a Book of Mormon and he wants to meet with them." The elders number was in the Book of Mormon miraculously and Mark now wants to meet with us. It was a huge blessing and it showed me that you don't need a huge spiritual prompting to bless someone with the Gospel, you just need to do the things that God has asked us to do and open our mouths and talk to everyone!!! I love being a missionary. I love being able to help people feel the love of their Savior. We are really busy here teaching lessons, we struggle a lot with getting members to go to lessons with us though and that is frustrating because these people who are looking for Christ need support and friends. If missionaries ask you to go to a lesson, go! WE NEED MEMBERS HELP, you are vital in the work of salvation, more important than the missionaries MEMBERS are VITAL!


I love you all I miss you all and I can't wait to hear from you
