little time, but many blessings...

this week was awesome! we saw so many blessings. We started off our week right, we ended our Pday a day an hour early. We decided to cancel all our dinners on Mondays so that we can get out and work at 5. We decided to do that because a few months ago Elder Zwick of the 70 told us he could promise us blessings and we need blessings. 

So Monday we went out at 5 to go knock some doors. To start we decided to go try some referrals we received from a member. the first one was not to interested but the 2nd one was a very nice guy who let us in right away. He has recently become a father and we shared a Mormon message with him about fathers. He enjoyed it allot. We have not been able to get back in touch with him, but it was cool to see a miracle by going out early.

We have also started teaching a man named Bill. He is a very nice guy, he owns his own wood cutting business. We found him only 2 Tuesdays ago but we have been able to meet with him 5 times and only one of them was with out a member present. He is great, he does his reading assignments most the time. he only missed twice so far. but the last time he noticed a difference in our conversations when he does not read what we left him. He said they are not as good when he has not read. He was a little hesitant about church but I think with time he will come and visit.

We also have started teaching a guy named Lemar. he is very interesting. Very interjetic and excited to hear. We have only meet with him one time, but we have high hopes for him. He is looking for direction and peace in this crazy world. I think he will really come to love the point of modern day prophets and how they help us know what to do.

We also started teaching this less active part member family. The mom was baptized along time ago when she was 12 and she was active for several years and then when she moved out she went less active and then some how at some time changed to RLDS. Dont ask me how that happened but it did. He kids have not been baptized, so we are going to start teaching them and really hit the point of praying for truth and guidance.

In the mists of all these blessings we did not have much time to do a whole lot. We had a stake meeting on tuesday evening. Which went well, and then a did an exchange with the Lilburn elders. Elder Hiatt went biking and they got poured on. So happy it was not me. Then on friday we had another Mission Leadership Council. It was really cool because the District Leaders were also invited to this one. And the Elder I trained (Elder Farr) he is a district leader. So I got to see him, probably for the last time before I go home.

Im so excited for the next couple of weeks, Im excited to have this time to work my butt off! This only happens one time in your life and I have to take complete advantage of it!

Con Mucho Amor
