Letter 2-27-17

Hi everyone! This week went by very long but it was a great, long week. :P

So I don't know if I already told this story, but i'll tell it again, because it's amazing and has really helped boost my confidence. :) So on the 20th we had interviews with the mission President. :) The interview was really short, but awesome! He I guess, noticed a big difference in me, he says, immediately after I walked into the room, "somethings changed about you. " He was so happy with my improvement and he said "Keep doing what you are doing, you are doing great!"  He also talked about how proud he was of me going up the latter and not backwards and to keep moving up. :) I felt and it continues to make me feel great!

Then later this past week we had exchanges, I stayed here in my area while Sister Miner came over with me. :) She was one of the two sisters that took me out my very first night on my mission. At first I was worried that she would hold on to that memory of that night and how not great I was, but not at all. :) While yes, she remembered that, she pointed out by how much I've grown sense then, which is awesome for someone else to point that out. :) But, I learned lots from her. :) Be BOLD, straight forward, and show Christ like love for each person you meet. She's so powerful, I wonder how she does that... :P

But today, Peggy a care provider for someone in our ward, became our new investigator.  She even said that when she does come to know that the Book of Mormon to be true, she'll be baptized! So awesome! Then we also found 2 new potential investigators. :) Then another day we were walking and we ran into a girl who became another potential investigator. :) It was a blessing in disguise because we were walking the wrong direction, but because of that, we met her. :)

Also, again I don't know if I told you this already or not, but we put Janelle, one of our investigators on date for April 15th, and we are hoping that if she does her part that God will do some amazing miracles of helping her and her boyfriend get married.

Then our other investigator, Marsha, we are going back tomorrow to see what her answer is because we followed up after we first invited her to be baptized and she said no, but we stopped there to help answer and resolve her concerns and reminded her that one of the main reasons to get baptized it to receive the Holy Ghost. :) And that it is a commitment between her and Heavenly Father. :)

Anyways, even though, we've both been sick, things are doing good. :) I have to leave, but all is well, I love you all so much! Never forget who you are and what you stand for!
