Lunch time on the back of our car!
Hola!!This week was so GOOD! Holy! Every week I think couldn't get better and then the next week DOES! I had my first exchange this week with the sister training leaders! I got to go with Sister Barrett from Logan Utah! :) She was fantastic! It was fun to go with her and see that there were "other ways" of doing missionary work...when you are getting trained you have "blinders" on and you don't really know any better...so it was really good for me to be on an exchange! We had some really cool experiences that day. We found the coolest investigator ever! He so sweet! He is black and has the cutest kids! But, it was super cool ! We were on our way to an appointment and she ended up not being home, so as we were walking outside we saw him and started talking to him and it was such a nice day that we gave him the rest of the lesson right on his front porch! He said to come back and that he would read the Book of Mormon! (to bad he isn't in MY AREA!) haha but, as long as he goes swimming (baptized) I dont really care what area he is in! :) But, overall exchanges were great!
How is the world these days? I peeked at a few emails before I wrote this and I can not believe Brenny jumped into the Lake! I am so JEALOUS! haha --That looks like one big cup of hot chocolate waiting to happen but, super fun! Brenny you are crazy! I love it! Al did you do it too...or were you scared? :) JK I love you! Glad Amster had a good B-day..I'm proud of you Austy, you done good kid! :) I love you all and you are the best! Mom...partying it up in LV!
FUNNY STORY- So, while we were on exchanges...that night Sister Warner and I were sleeping out in the living room on these paper thin beds...yes it was my best night sleep so far. (NOT) haha ( its okay I didn't mind it...could have been a lot worse!) but...anywho....we woke up the next morning and Sister Warner starts laughing so hard at me and I was so afraid! She said that in the middle of the night she woke up from me talking and she looked over and I was kneeling (s?) down saying a prayer outloud about all of our investigators! hahah She said it was a good prayer and that I prayed for like 10 mintues just going though all the people we talk to!!! hahah Oh my...HELP I HAVE GONE INSANE! :) Sister Warner told our district at district meeting and...lets just say I have gotten teased about that one! :)
I have had a wonderful week! I am learning so much and I have seen so many blessings. Heavenly Father is doing some serious work right now, and I am incredibly thankful for it everyday! I will update you on the investigators.... :)
Dirk- oh Dirk! I love that man! His court day got MOVED! YAY! :) Well.. I think yay? So we met with him a bunch this week. We are meeting with him and President Cleveland tomorrow to see what we can do..he is baptismal date it technically this Saturday but, he won't make it because he is still smoking (minor detail) but, he is getting so close! He knows the BOM is true and is progressing like crazy! He stopped drinking coffee and tea, so we are getting somewhere! I gave him my pony tail to wear on his wrist so he can think of our talks before he starts smoking... (we will see how well it works!) But.. as far as legal issues and baptism I will be able to tell you better next week after meeting with President! So, Dirk is awesome! He still calls us his angels and I LOVE THAT MAN!
Carlos- Carlos...PRAY FOR HIM! He has two weeks til his date and I have 100% faith that he is going to get it! We met with him last night and gave him a "final stretch" pump up talk! We told him that he has two weeks to give it all he has and we promised him that if he does that he will recieve his answer! So...please pray he will! I love him and he such a good guy! He has been asking for a very long time and I think its time he gets his answer!
Linda- oh Break my heart Linda! She dropped us. My heart broke for her and ME! haha I want to call her everyday and Sister Warner keeps telling me she needs time and I cant stand it! She was doing so good and then she got a glimse of the truth and got scared! So...you know..pray that she will one day answer my phone call or at least want to talk to us!
Rita and her family- We didnt get to meet with them last week because there dad is in the hospital..so we are meeting with her this week so hopefully we can see where we are at there?Jim- GREATEST, Sweetest old man you will ever meet! Love him! He is so close to knowing the BOM is true, when we see him every week he asked questions Joseph Smith asked! He is so great! But, his wife hust passed away so he doesnt like leaving the house so that is an issue right now! but, we will try again!Sorry if that was to many people and stuff...but I get so excited! :) This was a wonderful week! I love this church so much! There isnt a moment I dont smile because of it! I am thankful for my Savior, his sacrafice he preformed for me and all of his children has never brought such peace and happiness in my entire life. I can overcome because he did and I am so thankful for that. I love the Book of Mormon, President has challenged all of us to study for 30 minutes out of our hour personal study to read the BOM and my testimony of that Book has increased tremendously!I love you and pray for you! Thank you for your examples and kindness! It means the world to me! :) Love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#ILOVEBEINGAMISSIONARYLoveSister Clegg
