P-day and we met with H We were reading the Book of Mormon with him. I get really excited about the story of Nephi so he probably thought I was crazy. And then we had a lesson with a part member family. Their son L is the one I've told you about who really wants to be baptized, but they never come to church. So we've set up a weekly FHE with them and we're trying to get the family back on track and hopefully the husband more interested in the church. 

We had temple service and then we did service at a members house. We had a lesson with a member who's husband is debating leaving the church. We sat in her closet and talked about how Satan in a Bratt (sounds weird now that I'm typing it) We had dinner with Sister Munns and she is going to let us have P-day at her house on the lake next week:) and we went and tried to find a few people. And had a lesson with Heather about the temple. And she said the sweetest prayer thanking god for us.

Pretty much had service all day, then dinner. Then we had a lesson with C. This is pretty much how our lessons with her go, "So I read this on the internet" (something anti - shocking)" "Its only by grace that we are saved" something about how she doesn't like Jospeh smith. "God can't be flesh and bone" And usually it goes back into the trinity. Haha. After those lessons I'm pretty exhausted. Here's the thing though, we have a really great relationship with her and she really trusts us. So I feel comfortable with her as well. So at one point she was going off about the trinity and I asked her a question, she didn't answer it or didn't have an answer for it so I said "Well C I love you, but that doesn't really make any sense right?" And my trainee was just ultimately shocked. But she wasn't offended and she even realized that it didn't really make sense either. 

I figure this. Okay people either have the wrong information or not all of the information. And if I don't at least teach them what is right, then who will? Who else is going to do it? 

I love what you said mom about being sweetly bold. You have to do it with love and trust or it doesn't work. But you do have to be bold! It's God's message not mine, and if I'm the only one who gets to teach them the truth, I'm going to teach them the full truth so there's not confusion. 

We went finding and I made a friend ( I call him Portobello) he just chilled on my hand the whole time 

Then we had a lesson with L. And it was amazing. We talked about baptism and we asked her to pray and ask god if that's what she needed to go, irregardless of what her mother thinks. And she started to cry... and I started to cry. And she said "I've been scared to ask because I already know the answer is going to be that I need to" so we talked about praying for courage, and praying for her mothers heart to be softened.

And then on Sunday she brought her husband and her two kids to church! And they seemed to really enjoy it!

Saturday:

We helped a part member family move into their new house. His wife who is not a member seemed a lot more respective to us now. Because before she was really stand off ish.

And that night we had a Ward Chili Cook off! It was so much fun, I missed bon fires so much.

A lot of the members brought friends! It was way cool too because an investigator brought a friend and she came to church the next day AND we found our that she had been taking the discussions by the missionaries in Germany. Small world

Also the Millers brought their friends and the when they introduced us to them they both looked at me and were like "hey we know you!" (And you know because I talk to like a million people a day I didn't recognize them) 

But they were this couple we met on Thanksgiving, they were super nice and let us into their house and gave us water. We got her number this time and she said she would teach us how to bake, and then we can just talk about the gospel while we bake;)

Haha.

I hope you had a good week, have fun on your cruise mom and dad, love you! 

For a laugh. This is an actual conversation we had over text with our investigator H last night..

Us: "Hey H! Are you coming to church today?"

Him: "No."

Us: "Well why not? Is everything okay."

*later that night

Him: " Why all of the sudden I feel at peace for some reason, I'm not liking this"

Us: "what do you mean?"

Him: " idk like ever get that feeling when you just came home from the beach, showered and your just kicking it? It's annoying I'm trying to get mad again but I can't."

Us: "What do you think has caused this feeling?"

Him: "TBH I don't know I just came from washing this dudes car getting paid of course and I don't know maybe just the exhaustion speaking."

Us: "Well that's not a bad thing, have you been reading?"

Him: "You sound like Dr. Phill right now.. No" "I haven't done squat"

Us: "Well Dr. Phill is cool so we will take it. Why haven't you?"

Him: "Wait I take it back I think what caused me to be at peace was the thought of me getting 100 on my test tomorrow and I would feel after that."

Us: "That would be awesome, say a prayer and ask god to help you!"

Him:  "No way I'm still mad at that guy"

Youths..
