Howdy!!
This week's been great. The past couple of days the weather has been marvelous...like perfect marvelous. And...we hit pretty much all of our goals. It was awesome. EXACT OBEDIENCE BRINGS BLESSINGS!! Spring break is all this week so lets hope things go marvelously!
So Monday we as a district have a tradition of going to Yogurtland to get frozen yogurt. We were able to teach Susana that night and she's planning on getting baptized the end of this month. It's pretty great! She's awesome and has been able to progress so much!
Tuesday we did a lot. We had lunch on campus with Taylor Jones and did a lot of contacting and talking to people about the LDSSA and inviting them to institute and to meet with us. We did this quite a few days this week. That night Sis Niedert and I went on splits. Sis Niedert and MaryKatherine had and appt that night and we also wanted to go and visit a member in the hospital. So Haylee Young came with me and we got everything accomplished. It was pretty great (as usual)!
Splits with Haylee Young!
Wednesday we had a lot planned. We went on campus again and talked to a lot of people...like we always do. We had lunch with Kelly Baker on campus. Funny story about Kelly: I was able to help teach her back in October-ish when we were on exchanges. There are so many of these recent converts that i have taught at least one lesson in their conversion it's so great to be able to re connect with them and teach them more. That night we got to teach someone that we tracted into a couple weeks earlier. His name is Ike and he's from Nigeria. It wasn't untill i got here that i really realized that i'd be serving foreign!! I've met many people from many different places!!
Thursday for lunch we had it in the tower on campus. It had an amazing view of how flat it is. It's really flat. like a table flat. like this place could be called "mesa" in Spanish it's that flat. But i digress...the food there was amazing. Later on we were able to meet with someone who texted the elders. She had met with the elders in the past and decided she wanted to meet again. The elders asked if we wanted to teach her and we really couldn't pass up the offer. So we were able to talk with her, Cortney, and her friend, Mark. It was a really great discussion!! They both agreed to listen to us again. So we will get in contact with them after spring break. That night after a lesson with Kelly and then Susana, the ward missionaries had a dinner at Denny's adventure. So everyone invited someone and we were all able to just talk and get to know eachother. Susana came and was able to get to know a few more people.
Friday. So spring break pretty much started for everyone this week. Campus was dead. We were also on exchanges that day. Sis Powell came with me and Sis Niedert went with to CS2 ward. We had a lesson with Rong (she's from China). We were able to talk more about the Godhead and the scriptures. It was great! That night we did some tracting and life was just dandy.
Saturday Sis Niedert and I made companionship goals and finished our weekly planning. That afternoon, we went to try and visit people in the ward that we didn't know. I also got to meet Breeja Larson!! It was awesome to be able to hear her story and talk to her about her life. We did lots of finding but we were still a few people short of our goal. We got home a little late and decided to go check the mail. We were able to talk to 2 more people and invite them to learn more...therefore hitting our goal!! YAY!! The Lord works in mysterious ways :)
Sunday we had ward council and church. After Church, we had a lesson with someone who was wanting to meet with us. She pretty much was accepting of everything. It was so amazing!! She's going to be in town for spring break so we will get to meet with her this week :) That afternoon we went out to try and find members and to talk to others. It was such a great week over-all.
Today we got lost coming to the library. We went to the George Bush memorial library and museum. Just got a little confused by that...oh well!!
Keep moving forward!!
