Week 36 - (3/30/15) - Man I Love Missionary Work

March 30, 2015

Hello everyone!!                                      

So this past week we ran the "Fun Run" According to Elder Monsen those two words shouldn't be used in a sentence without the word "not" in there somewhere.  hahaha.

So I ran 3 miles at the end of the Fit for his Kingdom Challenge.   I didn't realize that I haven't run 3 miles without stopping in a long time. I'm in a lot of pain ;D UGH. oh well haha.. I guess it's good for me.. :]

This week we are focusing on something called the April showers. We are asking the members that sign up on the dinner calendar to fast that day for missionary work!

Our Mission President is having us focus on the miracles this week! Well little did we know we had one last week!  If you read last week’s entry you will learn about the Zombie Invasion. Well that night we had a lesson with one of our investigators that is getting baptized soon!! woohoo! :D

Well what we didn't know about that experience was, all of the houses around us, their power was out. The members we were with shouldn't have had power. She said she is usually the first one without power. We should have had the lesson in the dark. But we didn't!  Maybe we would have had to post pone the lesson, and she wouldn't be getting baptized (this was the lesson where Keira and her agreed to baptism!) hmm :] Idk I just think that it was really cool.  Small miracle but it's something if you ask me! 

We also have 3 other 12-14 year old girls that want to get baptized at the end of April. Man! Finally!  We have been teaching them for a long time now.

Man that’s 5 people that will make one of the best choices ever next month. I love that! :D

What a spiritual week! We’ve topped the amount of lessons I have taught here in Fallon this week! We had 16 lessons this last week.  Still not sister missionary status but it's getting there. I think our teaching pool is golden!

So we did some final touching ups this last Sunday and Blair and her daughter are officially getting baptized!! It’s going to be on April 11th, at 5:00! We wrote everything out and it's going to be great! I could feel the spirit as we taught those two the final lesson so they know what they are jumping into and they are so ready! 

Kiera, the daughter, knows so much about God and everything He has to offer! (She’s in love with the Salt Lake Temple) Man I love kids. They have such sensitive spirits.. :] For instance, Kiera woke up the next morning after a lesson that we taught and told Blair (her mom)  “Mom.. I wish we could go to church every day.”  Love that girl haha. She's going to be the next President of the United States she says! Haha I'd vote for her :].

Now get this, Blair has asked one of her friends from another ward to come in and Baptize her. Kiera has asked if I would baptize her :D!! Man what an honor!! ;] I'm so excited!! I'm glad that I can give her one of the best gifts here on this earth. She's such a bright kid!

So hopefully! We will have 5 baptisms this month. :D WOOHOO!! That is awesome!!! Man I love missionary work. :D  I love seeing people accept The Gospel of Jesus Christ.
