Happenings of Week 4!!

Hello!! This week was pretty awesome!! Mainly because I'm a missionary!
 
1. We go to the institute class on Tuesday to then talk to 2 of our recent converts. But also for free lunch afterward :] BUT this week was about dating and marriage... as a missionary lets just say it was awkward.
2. We had an FHE with a family and then went straight to another meeting. I needed my planner, the thing that has your 6 weeks of life in it, and I couldn't find it for the LIFE of me. I thought maybe I left it at the meeting before this one so we went back... yes it was there, in the ROAD! It had gotten ran over by a car with tire marks to prove it and my buzz light year pencil... shattered. It was funny.
3. We had a lesson with our ward mission leaders family and while he was talking about missionary work he brought up our spirit. Now this is something we hear all the time. As missionaries we have a different spirit you can feel and see. He said that as soon as we walked into his house it changed. His boys stoped playing and listened to what we had to say, and they could feel the change in the room. We notice a difference in when people look at us but it was cool to hear him say that. What a blessing it is to be me right now! I LOVE it!
4. We had a lesson with an investigator about the Plan of Salvation. We asked him which kingdom he wanted, he said the celestial. I asked him what habits he would need to give up to get there to live with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Here came the down pour. He expressed a lot of different things BUT he mainly expressed the desire to stop and get to the Celestial kingdom. I'm excited for him! Nervous but I have faith.
5. Our less active Sharon is AMAZING! She is doing REALLY well with the gospel knowing and her testimony. Her cigarettes keep getting in her way BUT it has been 7 days so far and she said she is going to do it this time.
6. We had a special mission wide meeting this week. It was how to work with members and how it is your job to be the social conversion and we are the spiritual conversion with teaching the lessons. She was AMAZING and we are trying to teach it to our members now. It was really cool and hopefully it works!
7. Well today it was 101 degree before we got into the library and the other day we got in the car and were like, "Its freezing!" Look at the temp... it was 73 degrees. My blood is getting thin! ahahah
8. A less active we met this week came to church! They had a bad experience in their last ward and just got out of the habit. We had a lesson with them and they were really nice! She wants to start coming more. Her husband wants to be cant because of a back problem. He cant sit down.
9. Alice our other investigator is still progressing but wont commit to baptism... yet. She even came to the Relief Society Broadcast by herself. She is praying, even for the Prophet and conference, reading the Book of Mormon, keeping her other commitments that go with the gospel. She is feeling the Spirit and now she needs to act on it :]
10. The Relief Society broadcast... WOW! I LOVED President Utchdorf talk! I loved when he said,
"You are not forgotten, sister, wherever you are and whatever the circumstances." "No matter how dark your days may seem, no matter how insignificant you may feel, no matter how overshadowed you think you may be, your Heavenly Father has not forgotten you. In fact, He loves you, with an infinite love. …" I know that we should all know this but it was so nice to hear it again.
 
I LOVE YOU!!
