6 days of work, and a miracle on the 7th

Well I have learned a lot this week. There is a scripture, Mosiah
28:3, that is amazing for missionary work. It shows how we should feel
as missionaries. Not only as missionaries but as people, as brothers
and sisters of our Heavenly Father. I always wondered if I was at that
point where I could feel that way toward the people I teach. Well
Beaver was doing great with people to teach and then this week came.
And everyone that we were visiting and teaching decided that they
don't want to visit with us anymore. They all dropped us. Terry and
Rose, Nigal, the whole crew. It was hard because I had never felt so
much sorrow in my heart for these people. I desire so badly for these
people to find true happiness in there life that when they decided to
stop visiting with us it broke my heart. But after all we teach that
everyone has their agency and their choice to choose. We keep on
trekking! These past few days I have prayed so hard we have been
fasting and looking for people to teach.

Well then a miracle happened. We sat on our porch talking with our
neighbor. Who we are good friends with. And her sons friend shows up
and sits down with us. This guy is a pretty big guy, he is in the
army, and every time we see him he is smoking and drinking always!
Hahaha so he sits down with us and our neighbor jokingly says why
don't you teach him. And laughed and said I don't really do religion.
But then we just asked what his beliefs are and then he started asking
us questions and so we taught him the Restoration and then after that
he asked where do we go after we die. And so we taught him the Plan of
Salvation. Then he asks how can I be forgiven of my sins. So then we
taught him the gospel of Jesus Christ and we did all this in like an
hour and a half. It was such a cool lesson. We are not sure if he is
interested in coming to church ever or even meeting with us again. But
it was such a cool lesson and a cool experience. Our neighbor told us
later that day that he was walking around telling people that he is
converted to Mormonism. Hahahaha so we will we where that goes.

We also had a special 2 hour conference with President and it was
awesome. He established rules and clarification to rules that none of
us understood. So now I am pumped to be able to be more obedient and
gain the blessing from that!

But that was pretty much the week. I don't have any pictures expect
for my new pair of socks that I wear on P-days! Hahaha

Hope you are all doing great I love and miss you all!
