Hi family!
Its pouring rain today so that's a bummer. we were going to go for a trail ride on our bikes today. Last week we went down to the Levi Jackson state park after emailing and we went trail riding. It was pretty fun. it was cold but we had lots of fun. Kinda muddy. I got mud on my back and my bike it muddy. Makes it look nice though.
After riding bike for a few hours on Tuesday I started to get a sore throat from the cold and then the chills and aches started to set in... Then that night we found out that the next day we were supposed to drive up near Louisville to go to a new missionary/trainer meeting. They had this meeting scheduled for a month but our zone leaders forgot to tell us until the night before. So we had to get up early and leave our place by 7 and drive the 2 hours. It was a super great meeting.
I wish you all could meet President Brough and his wife. they are so stinkin funny and also spiritual giants. I love being around them. After the meeting I asked for a blessing for the first time on my mission. That's kinda sad to say that it was my first on my mission. I think in the past I let a little pride get in the way and told myself that I didn't need a blessing. But lately I have notice that Im not the same missionary that I was in New Albany. I felt like I've gotten into a rut and I couldn't get out. But let me tell you. That blessing has helped me get out of that rut. I just felt all of the Despair and stress and worry leave me and felt peace. I was told that this was a blessing that has been waiting for a long time. And true that is. I needed that blessing so badly. So, don't be afraid to ask for blessings. They are wonderful.
A couple fo days ago I went on exchanges with the zone leaders and I stayed in my area with Elder White. All of our appointments cancelled and didn't work out but we had a lot of success with finding. We wanted to start being more bold with people and not being afraid to teach what we know is true. We practiced ways of contacting people on the street and instantly starting to teach and testify and then to ask a question to get them think and more involved. The very first lady we tried it on became an awesome new investigator. We talked to her about God's love and asked her how she has seen God's love in her life and she shared all of her cool experiences and we testified that God does love her and he still love us today and he has shown his love by calling a Modern day Prophet to the earth. We quickly reffered to the Book of Mormon and read a scripture with her and she gladly took the Book and she said she would love to have us over to share more. Her name in Tina and she is really nice and awesome. We are seeing her tonight! After talking to her we found 2 more new investigators with this same approach. It was awesome.
Oh and Jessi and Barbara stayed after sacrament this sunday and also this week they chose a day to quit smoking, and that day was yesterday haha we had dinner last night with them. We had stuffed clams. They were dang good. they both want to be baptized so bad. I sure hope Im here for that. Transfer calls are thiscoming Saturday. Im not sure if I will get a call but every one thinks that Im getting transferred. So we will see!
Love Y'all!!!
