I can honestly say this week went by quickly! I am already here emailing
you again! And holy moly! Our birthday is tomorrow! How time flies! Happy
Birthday Papa! This is the first birthday in the past 23 years that you will be
spending on your own. No sharing! Imagine that! And Happy Birthday to the 8 year
old boy this week! Tan the Man I am so excited for you! I wish I could be at
your baptism, but I'll be there in spirit! Love you both!
Kate- I did get your can! Thank you! I'm excited!
This week was a good one, we did a lot of knocking but have come across two
different gentlemen who are like the scriptures say, "seeking for truth but know
not where to find it." One of them was Church of Christ but felt like it wasn't
right, and converted to be a Catholic looking for the authority.... sounds like
something we can help him with! :) And the other man says he is just a Christian
because he doesn't believe there is one true church out there. He said his hobby
is to study up on the historical proof of the bible. We explained the Book of
Mormon to him and how it is written by the ancestors of the Native Americans. He
was very intrigued by that. I keep praying for them, that Satan will not confuse
them, and that they will feel the Spirit as they look more into the things we
taught them. We only saw them each once, and are planning on following up with
them this week. We shall see.
Also we had exchanges this past Tuesday to Wednesday. I went with Sister
T in the Regal Park ward. In their area they literally knock for like 6
hours a day! We went out and amazingly only were able to to get like 5 doors
knocked because each one the people were interested in talking to us! It was a
really good experience, and I learned so much from Sister T! She is a
really amazing person and missionary! It was also really nice to see how other
missionaries work, and to be able to see my own rough edges and how I can also
improve. It was a great learning experience and I'm so glad we had that
opportunity.
I thought weather in Utah was crazy but it's official: even on the weather
channel (as everyone here informed us!) Lubbock is voted worst weather in
America! On Wednesday I was wearing sunscreen and dying of heat and then
Thursday I was wearing boots and tights and a coat because it was so cold!
Lubbock is really growing on me though! I am happy here!
Oh fun! Sister L is out here because one of her investigators went
through the temple for the first time on Saturday! She was at church yesterday
and she wants to go out with us for a birthday lunch today! It is so good to see
her! I miss her and love her! How crazy it is that she is not a missionary
anymore!
Anyhow! By next Monday I'll be one year older and wiser? too! Man how the
years fly! I was talking to Sister R the other day about ages and some of
these people we teach and she was like, "man that is so old!" and I turned to
her and told her that is only six years older than her and she got this shocked
look on her face and she said, "I thought I was still 19!!!" She honestly did,
and we still laugh about it! Poor thing! Too funny!
I love you all and thank you for your support and prayers! This is the
Lord's work and His glory and we are just workers in His vineyard! How good He
is to us!
Love you!
