"I lost on Jeopardy baby, oooo-oo-o"

 Hello Everyone! 


This week has been a lot of fun, filled with miracles. I'm trying to think of some fun way to start of this email, but right now I don't have anything. 
( note to self put something fun above, and don't leave it as it is now. That would be embarrassing if you sent that out) 

We are continuing to focus on miracles, and the start on this week there was a big miracle. We got a call from someone that referred himself online. He said that he had done a lot of research, and wanted to meet with the Missionaries. He said that he wanted to grow his Connection with God, and wanted to join The Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints. We where so excited and asked if he could meet tomorrow and he said yes. We had an awesome lesson with him where he did do a lot of research and most was right. At the end we asked if he would pray to know that The Book of Mormon is true and that Joseph Smith was a prophet and he said that he know that all of it is true. And then we asked if was willing to work towards a goal of being Baptized at the end of the month and he said yes again. A miracle and a blessing all in one. We are very excited. 

This week we have been working hard on trying to find new people to teach. We found quite a bit of people for our area. And our Zone broke the record for finding new people to teach for our Zone. We found 45 people. It was amazing finding new people who would be willing to listen and to act. 

Something that was amazing and unexpected was the way that I taught this week. There were a couple times where I taught with more boldness and enthusiasm. I was so happy when teaching people. When I was teaching this way I felt the spirit strongly, and that people took notice. Matthew ( a recent convert and friend) said that there was force behind what I was saying. He told me that I could be a preacher, and I took it as a compliment. This may come off as boasting, and it is. Not of my strength but of the strength of God. HE  is the one that gives me strength further than I can go. Give the power behind the words that I speak. Those words He has also given me. I know that when we prepare ourselves and give ourselves to God he will take us higher than we could go, and we are able to help others.  

We went to youth activity where they played Jeopardy. All the questions were focused on the church and the Book of Mormon. I can proudly sing, 
I thought I knew a lot as a missionary but I was humbled to know that there is more that I can know. I did get some answers right, but I still didn't know all of them. Don't worry I won the second round. Most people there didn't know them ether. It was a good time and I'm glad that the youth were getting into it and wanting to know the answer.  

We also finished most of the Missionary Board. Which I think that I have talked about it, but I'll still talk about in case I haven't. It is a board about missionary work. The end. Just kidding, there is more to it. We wanted to let the Branch and anyone else that comes to church to see who the Missionaries were. There are also ways more people to Love Share and Invite with their friends. Scriptures and quotes on missionary work. All of this is to help inspire people to come to Christ. 

I love Mothers! Mothers that work hard in the Branch and mothers that love just like the Savior. During this week I have reflected on how much my mother has done for me. I become overwhelmed when I see all that she has done for me. I will simple say I would not be here if it were not for her. LOVE YOU MOM! 

I also love all of you all thank you so much. 

I know that God has sent us to a right place and time that we are meant to be here on the Earth. Everything that God has done has been done with a plan, and mothers a vital part of that plan. And so am I and so are you. I know that there is a plan that will lead us to peace and comfort in this life and in the life to come.  I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ Amen. 


Sorry not many pictures this week, but here you go. 
A member of our Branch had some baby bunnies and I just had to hold one.
