Week 22- The one with NO rain!

Friends!!

This week has gone by so fast but I'm not complaining! :) It didn't rain at all this week, except for Sunday so we were one happy "dry" companionship! 

Dancing?

Yes!  We got special permission to teach the youth some EFY line dances at their activity on Wednesday and we had a BLAST! We left it all on the dance floor that night, as much as missionaries can. ;)

We LOVE teaching!
We taught 20 lessons this week and we are super excited about that! It's been our goal and our bishop's goal so with prayer, support and hard work we got there!! 

People are slowly getting better from being sick so we are back to teaching, yay! We had a lesson with Floranna about obedience, following the prophet and the 10 commandments and she really liked it. We showed her a picture of President Nelson and gave her a talk to listen to and she was all for it!  She is still trying to get off smoking, we came up with a few ideas to help so we will see.  Coffee is something that will be tricky BUT we are working on it!  

We have 2 new people this week! Dave is one, he was the one where we meant him on the street coming back from the court house. We did a soft baptismal date and he was all for it!! So we will talk a little more about it later this week.

We also have Lynn, she is the cutest! She is Alanna's mom and is so prepared. We gave her a Book of Mormon and told her to read 2 chapters and she read 11 because she thought 2 Nephi was chapter 2, haha! She said she was confused on the tree of life but as she read one it explained it. Man if only everyone would read on to learn more! ;) We taught her how to pray and she was so excited, it made me so happy to teach someone how to talk to Heavenly Father! She said, "I don't need counseling any more, I can just tell all my problems to God." Haha it's so true! She feels a lot more free when she talks with us and learns our religion. We are so excited for her and what's in store! 

The Face2Face was so awesome! Sister Hair and I are going to get one of the pamphlets to do the youth program! 

Some notes I took from the Face2Face:

-Remember your long term goals but focus on the small goals you need to get to the big one!

-Personal revelation: The Lord never shouts, he whispers.

-Personal revelation comes from personal action

-Don't focus on what your doing but what you are becoming

-Be persistent, doing your goal shows Father you love him.

-The church isn't holding our hand any more, they are teaching us how to hold hands with the Lord.

-We don't all move at the same rate!

Anyways, that's pretty much the week! I turn 20 years old this week and I can't believe it! Time goes by fast when you are serving the Lord :)  

Love you all!
