Week 35 - (3/23/15) - Zombie Apocalypse

Hey everyone!

So the zombie apocalypse happened last night!  We were coming home from the best lesson ever. (it would make the AP's jealous) ;D just kidding. We are teaching a lady who contacted us, her and her daughter want to get baptized! haha Awesome! It was just an overall really really good lesson. But I’ll get to that in a minute! So there was a planet you could see right next to the moon that night and it was super cool.  It is SUPER windy out when we drove back home. All of the lights got turned off. (the power went out) the street lights were out and there were police cars flying around everywhere. It was Crazy! So we made a barricade in our apartment and put all of our food in one spot and found a baseball bat and we protected ourselves. It was just funny but it was kind of cool :D

So there is this lady who is getting baptized April 11th! She is so ready! Her daughter is 8 and she wants to get baptized also! She has really good questions too! I think it's awesome! Counting down the days!

They are going to be awesome members!!

Each Tuesday this sweet sister feeds the missionaries. The Elders share a spiritual thought with the family. This week Elder Noah Mcsheehy share a story about the starfish and gave these precious girls a shell turtle and a starfish from home. Here Is the story

"Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.

One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.

As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean.

He came closer still and called out "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?"

The young man paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean."

"I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" asked the somewhat startled wise man.

To this, the young man replied, "The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die."

Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, "But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can't possibly make a difference!"

At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said,
"It made a difference for that one"
