Week 42: March 13, 2017: The rains came down and the floods came up...

This week was so good! We saw so many miracles this week and we were

able to find so many new people to teach, which was a huge miracle!

On Monday night we were out in our area trying to contact potential

investigators and preach to anyone who will listen to us but it was

crazy because the wind was blowing at what felt like 90mph. But we

kept working and a little later, it started POURING and there was

lightening everywhere! Then came the hail. And the roads literally

started flooding! It was insane. At all happened so quick, we were in

the middle of talking to someone on their doorstep when the storm

started and got SOAKED. But it was so worth it. Well, because there

were tornado sirens going off, we couldn't really stay in our area any

longer but don't worry, the hot now sign was on at Krispy Kreme as we

were driving home and totally stopped to get some free donuts. We

figured that if we were going to die from a tornado, we wanted to die

happy haha..

On Tuesday we taught a mom and son that were super interested. We had

just tracked into them back around New Years but then nothing came

from it and we got a call this week saying that she wanted to meet

with us! The lesson went really well! We had dinner with a family in

our ward from Colombia and ate a ton of Colombian food that was all

super delicious. We got to finally use our Spanish a little bit too,

which was way nice! It's so frustrating trying to learn a new language

when you only get to speak it once in a blue moon but thats okay! Ill

take any chance i get.

We went on exchanges on Wednesday and that was good. I was with Sister

Costely in Olathe 1st ward and nobody was interested or even nice to

us but thats okay haha some days are better than others but it'll all

work out in the end.

We had zone conference on Thursday and that was really good! There was

a super good talk given by our zone leader on faith. We also talked a

lot about the joy of repentance. We did lots of role plays and played

a game to see if people in the zone have the 42 doctrinal point

scriptures memorized. We had pasta for lunch and it was like the 5th

time this week...its awful. But i think sis Davies got food poisoning

or something cause she has been sick ever since lunch at zone

training.

We taught paul on Friday and had dinner with him at this place called

the T Loft. It was so good! We taught the Restoration again so that he

would understand the priesthood and why he needs to be baptized into

our church because we have the priesthood and why he should attend our

church and all that stuff. It was a really good lesson and he said

that the would attend church with us not yesterday cause he has people

in town but the week after he would! So that was awesome! He is so

sweet!

We had a sweet lesson on Saturday! His name is Bob and he lives across

the street from a potential so we met him when we were looking for the

potential and he was so sweet! We walk into the lesson and he starts

off by saying "so i have some good news for you, i want to start

coming to church with you a week from tomorrow and I want a church

tour on Wednesday at 2. I hope you're not mad but i haven't finished

the whole Book of Mormon yet but I read Moroni 10 and all of Nephi.

I'm not sure I want to be baptized yet but maybe eventually...". It

was INSANE. Such a huge miracle and the member that was with us was in

shock haha. We taught him the Restoration and he accepts prophets and

wants the priesthood and everything. It was so good!

Sunday was really good as well! We had a couple member lessons lined

up to try and get to know some of the members in our ward. We seem to

be gaining the trust from the members, which has been super helpful!

It's been really good getting to know them, there are some amazing

people here!

I'm so grateful for all the miracles that we saw this week and I know

that I couldn't do this work on my own! I love this gospel and I love

being able to share it! I love and miss you all tons though!! I love

getting emails and pictures from you! Love and miss you lots!
