Week 25

P-Day Group on last P-day

  This week here in Little Rock Arkansas was a really awesome week for missionary work.  On Friday we were able to teach the Plan of Salvation to one of our most solid investigators Monica.  We taught the Plan of Salvation and the spirit was really strong.  She really liked it and had a lot of question which was good, because it is so much easier to teach when people ask questions.  It shows that they are legitimately interested ,and then they learn a lot more.  When we got there she asked us about the story of Nephi killing Laban.  We were super surprised, because we left here to read the introduction of the Book of Mormon and she read 5 chapters!!  It was awesome, and at the end of the lesson we were able to set a baptismal date with her.  She asked what all she needed to do to be baptized, so we explained and she said she really wants to.  The only problem is getting work off on Sundays because she works a lot of them.  She is going to pray and as well we are praying for her that the lord will provide a way to her for a work.  It was pretty funny after she accepted the baptismal invitation she turned over to Francisco (her brother in law) and said "do you want to be baptized to?"  She was doing our job for us!  He isn't that interested but always sits in on the lessons which is good.  

  Also we were able to teach a couple great lessons with some potential investigators that we had.  The first was Eugenio and we just met him one day while he was on his lunch break.  So we were able to go 1 night to teach him, and he wanted to hear all that we taught.  Obviously we don't have time to teach all in one lesson, but we were able to share some of the restoration with him and he wants us to come back.  Him and his wife were super nice and even offered us to come back for dinner if we were able to.  So hopefully we will be able to share more with them.  Then the next was with Enrique who had come and played soccer one time at the church.  He explained to me where he lived, and luckily I heard it right and we were able to teach him at his house!  He is 16 and just moved here a few months ago.  We taught him the Restoration and it was a super good lesson filled with the spirit. He was paying attention and was understanding what we were teaching.  It was great, and he also wants us to come back and share more of our message.  We have a lot of solid investigators right now, so hopefully we will continue to see more miracles in the upcoming week.  Tyler Hunt did come into the mission last week, and I was able to see him at Transfers!  I talked to him for a while and he seemed to be doing really good and liked the MTC.  He is actually serving kind of close to me, so I will be able to see him at meetings and such!  

This week has been really warm, and we have been loving it.  It actually is easier to teach when it is warm outside, because people are outside and it seems like everyone is just in a better mood when it is warmer.  So that has been awesome and hopefully it stays that way.  Advice for the week for everyone: Never drink!!  A lady walked right in front of our car without any notice, but luckily we were kind of watching her and I was able to swerve out of the way.  She was completely drunk, I even honked and basically no response from her. It's just crazy how people will let drugs and alcohol take over their lives.  Luckily we have the knowledge of the Word of Wisdom, it really is such a blessing that we have. 

  I appreciate the e- mail.  Thank you so much for always supporting me.  Have a fantastic week, I love you all so very much!!

Love,
