Hello!!
What a great week. It flew by way too quick for my liking but "it is what it is" as Mom would say. We had a lot of success this week in finding more people to teach which is always good.
This week we have been teaching a lady named Sherice. She is really nice. We got her as a referral from some other Elders in a near by area that talked to her. We have had a couple lessons with her and on my Birthday we gave her a tour of the church with a member of the ward. She wasn't able to come to church this week because something came up but hopefully next week.
We also have been teaching a recently married couple that lives in our apartment complex that we live in. We gave the husband a tour of the church as well on Thursday with a member there and he liked it as well. They are looking forward to coming to church.
Ok I bet all of you are wondering what I did for my Birthday so I will tell you... MISSIONARY WORK!!! Shocker! We had District Meeting in the morning and so afterwards I was serenaded by the district. Other than that I basically forgot it was my birthday for the rest of the day. The Lord called me to be a missionary so I will be a missionary whether it is my birthday or not. Next birthday I will be about to come home and I don't like to think of that. Thursday was my Hump Day!!! For the occasion I got a shirt that says Hump Day and wore it all night. For the classic tradition I did burn one of my shirts.
Cool story time: We have a member that works as a dialysis nurse at a cancer hospital and had a patient that she talked to about the priesthood and he asked if he could get a blessing. We gave him a blessing and an hour later after we left he was able to urinate which he hadn't done for about 3 months. That was a testimony builder for me.
What a blessing it is to have such an amazing ward family. I constantly get awesome letters from the primary and they keep me going when times get tough. That is what this church is here for to strengthen one another. It is my testimony that the church of Jesus Christ is true. It has been a blessing in my life and I am grateful I can call myself a member of it. You all should be as well. Stand tall because we have the truth that others seek after. Don't be afraid to open your mouths and share what you know to be true, you never know who may be seeking the light that you all have. Thank you all for your love and support. Your prayers are felt.
