Sometimes when I'm writing my weekly I think about something
that happened in the last week and then think oh that happened months ago, but
in reality it happened yesterday. I feel like too much happens in one week to
actually give all of you a glimpse of what actually happens in my week.
Sometimes it feels like I live a week in a day, a month in a week and a year in
a month. ;)
This week I hit my one year mark! Yay! It was really weird
looking back and seeing how much I've grown in just 365 days. I can't believe
how fast it has gone by. My mission is going to be over before I know it and
that makes me kind of sad. This week's title comes from sister Brown who
thought that because I hit a year, it suddenly makes me really old.
This week we had a special zone conference. Elder McKay from
the 70 was visiting our mission. It was a really good zone conference.
Afterwards I was chosen to be 1 of the 6 missionaries to be interviewed by him.
It was a really neat experience.
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned a family whose son in law
wanted to be taught. Well we had our first lesson with him this week and he
told us that he wants to be baptized because his ultimate goal is to be sealed
to his wife. He didn't have any kind of religious background, so we taught him
about Heavenly Father and prayer. I'm really excited to see his spiritual
progression!
We also found a family to teach! We were street contacting
at a farmers market and one family we talked to told us that they believe in
the Book of Mormon and want to do a book of Mormon study with us. They're a
really neat family and they've been through a lot recently, so I can't wait to
teach them about the gospel and how it can help them.
Also, remember from last week the miracle I shared about
using facebook. Well, in the week since then he's read HALF the Book of Mormon.
He said he likes how he feels when he reads it and that it goes with everything
he's been reading in the bible. And now he wants to learn more!
God is good!
