January 16, 2017 The Lord is Cheeky.



This might have been one of the busiest weeks of my mission! I dont think i have ever taught so much, and worked so hard! Even though we didnt leave our apartment for 2 days.. Tuesday and Wednesday was ''Days of Voodoo".. So we got a call from our President, telling us we werent alowed to leave our front door.. So we didnt! We had to have one of our secuirity guards, Patrick, get all of our food for us! Other than that, a very busy week! Im finding that i am so much happier when we work hard! 

Arm from surgery is feeling okay. Nothing new! 

On Saturday we got so blessed! We had our daily planning on Friday night, and we have an investigator who we sadly were talking abuot dropping.. We had taught her for 4ish months, and she never even comes to church. But we decided that we would go over one more time! So, we went. And she was busy, but she said we could come in as she cut another lady's hair! As we started teaching, the lady getting her hair done statred getting really interested! To the point that she was the one asking us tons of questions! She said that she was having a hard time with prayer, so we taught her about that, and about when Joseph Smith first prayed. (READ Moroni 10:4-5) By the end of the lesson, they didnt want us to leave! She talked a lot at the end, and she told us that she is positive that God sent us, on this day, at this exact time while she was getting her hair done. Heavenly Father might work in strange ways sometimes. But his goal is always to bring his children back to him. 

I dont have too much to share this week, but i always have my testimony. I read 1 Nephi 14: 10 this week. And i had t read it a few times to actually get it. But after, its now one of my favorite scriptures! It says that you are either in the church of God, or you aren't. No Grey areas. There are a lot of really great churches in the world! And they do, and believe great things! But they dont have the FULL truth. We, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, have it. And for that reason, is why me, and thousands of other missionaries sacrifice this time for our Savior. As hard as it is, i wouldnt trade it for the world. 

I love you all, have a great week! 

P.S. CONGRATS KYLE AND DEANNA!!! I am sure that your wedding on saturday was so beautiful! Kyle, i look up to you more than you know, and Deanna, you are by far my favorite sister in-law (; Love you!!
