Crazy Week

This week was a crazy week for us. We had some good fun. We had a lot of meetings, really far away, since everything is so far away from us, and with those combined with General Conference we were out fully pumped and fully excited to do missionary work. We focused on seeing everyone not as they are, but as they may become. We were seriously trying to help everyone, no matter their situation, come unto Christ and feel his love, strength, and healing power. We were having a particularly hard day as we were knocking on Wednesday, with a lot of opposition. We just kept going, and we turned a corner and saw a Spanish family getting home, we went up and talked to them, and we were able to pray with them, and the daughter that spoke English she might be baptized. We came back Friday and were able to help her see all the blessings of baptism, with the peace and healing that she would feel. She was not able to make it to church, but we have high hopes for her. We also showed a lot of people the parts of General Conference that they had not seen. We showed this one Seminole the Larry Echo Hawk talk about the Native Americans and the Book of Mormon, and he later called one of the members of the Branch Presidency and told him that he is now going to be preparing to be baptized because all his questions and concerns have been answered, and knows that this is what God wants him to do. He is so much fun, and we have been able to see a lot of progress with him and we are super excited to go out and visit with him again. So we have seen a lot of progress, and we also had a lot of great talks from the Stake this week about the Holy Ghost. It has been really great to see what is going on here at this time, and I am so grateful that I am grateful to be apart of the great work that the Lord is commencing here. I know that He loves his children here, and that He loves them everywhere, and that if we strive to see them as they may become through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, we may be able to inspire, uplift, comfort, guide, strengthen, and love our brethren and sisters in a greater manner, with more inspiration to us as to what they may do for the Lord. I know this is His work, and that he wants to best for all of us. I love doing it so much, and I love you all so much. I hope to hear from you soon
