Double Date

This was a good week for us. We had an exchange this week, where I went to Fort Pierce with the district leader, and we had a good time. We did a lot of good work, and found some really nice people over there, that from what I know are preparing to be baptized now. After the exchange we had a lot of fire, and went out and did some monster work. We were able to get a decent number of members out with us this week, and they helped us do a lot of things. A lot of them testified of the enabling power that the Atonement gives us to become better and and better, and they were able to relate a lot better to some of our investigators because a lot of them were converts. Afterwards a lot of them asked when they could help us again, and they are excited to be doing this work along with us. We had one member brings his wife as well, so they joked about it being a double date. We also thought that we were going to have a lot of investigators at church, which was going to be great because we had the primary program, but we still only were able to get 4 there. We always seem to have something happen so some of them who are more solid on coming, but then they have to go to hospital or something that day, and then we are able to get others that replace them, and somehow we just keep the same amount of people. We were joking about it though, we bring more kids under the age of 8, than we do adults, so we are still helping the branch grow well. The building has been full the past few weeks, with only a couple chairs left, so we are going to have to get a new building soon. That will be awesome. We had one primary age come for the first time, and she went right up into the primary program, and they even imporvised a speaking part for her, it was great. We were really happy with this week, and are excited for the coming week. We have another exchange tomorrow, with the Zone Leaders, which will be fun I'm sure, this time I will be staying. I love you all so much, and I love this work so much. It is so satisfying, and rewarding, and I love it. I love my Savior, I know that He lives, and that he has a plan for each and everyone one of us, and if we just follow him, He will guide us, and help us become strong. I love you all nad thankyou for your support.
