 Hey everyone, hope you've had a good week, cuz I had a pretty good one. We had a few lessons with some of our friends and really focused on the importance of regular scripture study with all of them! I guess it's just something I've been thinking about lately. Honestly it's pretty important! That's where our testimony and faith in Christ comes from. We draw it from God's Word, and then to help that we pray to him. And when we pray yo him we can find the answers we seek in his scriptures. It's all just a cycle which seems like it should be relevant in our lives. So thats what we taught about! I think that both of our friends took the idea of that to heart which would be a huge miracle because neither of them have been consistantly reading or praying.

So the rest of the week we spent just trying to find new people to talk to and calling some of the members in our ward. Which must have worked because we have a few more lessons set up for this week than we usually do! Which I am excited about, it's always really nice to be able to teach. 

That was basically my week. If any of y'all ever want to reach out to me I'd love to hear from you! Just send me an email or a message on FB and I'll get back to you as soon as I can! 

Hope you all have a great week this week!

Love,

 Hi everyone, I've had a good week! We've been trying to stay busy out here, and this last week we had a few lessons with some great friends. one of those was with our friend Teresa, she has met with missionaries for a really long time. So we talked about the Restoration of the church, and knowing that she had heard it before we tried to make it special for her. So what we actually did was just took it slowly and made sure we checked her understanding of it along the way, but not just if she understands it in general but if she understands why it is so important to know. At the end of the lesson I very boldly stated that this is the restored church and that God's authority to perform miracles and baptize his saints is on the earth and that this is the only church that has that power. After I said it I kind of felt bad because I felt like I had intimidated her a little bit. But at the moment it seemed like the right thing to do. We then invited her to simply just pray about it. Because honestly that's the only way she can know for herself if it's true. 

The rest of the week we spent doing service and trying to find more people to teach. It was all in all a really great week! I love y'all and I hope you have a great week!

love ya!

 This week has been good y'all!  We were able to have a few lessons with our friends. And did a bunch of service at a thrift shop! Then we contacted a bunch of friends and set up a whole bunch of lessons with new friends so I'm super excited about that! I'll definitely let you know how they go next week! 

Beyond that life is going good. Being a missionary really is great! I love it here and am so grateful to be able to share this gospel with all of the great people out here! 

Love y'all! Have a great week!

Hey everyone, I hope you all had a great week. I was able to have a pretty good week, the highlight was definitely this weekend watching General Conference. It was good to be able to here the prophet and apostles speak, I hope you were all able to check it out! The rest of the week we had a few lessons and got to see some other missionaries. Nothing else too eventful happened this week. We got our transfer calls and I'm staying in Williamston with Elder Hughes. Thanks for all you do, I hope you all have a great week!
