Peter 1.9.12

Hello!

its in the 50s!?! wow that so warm for January, i hope it snows. you're definitely going to need it. it got down into the 30s and 40s this last week and we froze. it was so cold. it only dipped down for a few days but we're back to short sleeve weather.

Tuesday was the coldest. i had my thermals long sleeve shirt, sweeter, and jacket on. but the humidity chills to the bones no matter what you're wearing. i'll pray that it snows so you can use your Christmas sleds.

we had 3 investigators and one that went to the wrong ward by accident at church yesterday! it was so fun! they loved it! Dor said that she loves church more and more every week. she has a date for the 21st and is very excited about it. Gloria came and after sacrament said that we need to get more people to come and attend church because their are so many rumors that go around that are false. but then the connection came that that's exactly what we do. we work and work to get everyone to "come and see". she then thanked us for helping her come. it was a rewarding moment. we feel that she is really going to start progressing. Le came but didn't know church now started at 11. she came at nine and attended the goldenrod ward. she only stayed for sacrament. we called and she said she was very surprised not to see us at church or anyone else she new but it was still a positive experience for her. last of all Cul came he was a referral from the sister missionaries all we had done was invite him to come and he did we plan on teaching him the restoration this week.

all in all it was a very rewarding Sunday! 

 we are hoping and praying to get baptismal dates set with Glo and Le this week. we also want to attend a temple tour with Dor and Glo Saturday.

we had presidents interviews this week and he trained on teaching the doctrine or the eternal truths of the Gospel. it is something that we often overlook as a church. we are to teach the doctrine of the gospel so plainly that they will understand and when they do they will change behavior to align it with the doctrine. so we have been focusing on making sure we are teaching the doctrine behind all the principles of the gospel. i'm excited to become better at teaching doctrine because when it is understood those we teach will change because they know why God wants them too

i pray for you all. 

love ya
