Half way package :) Can you believe she's half way???
Tri-panionship still going strong!

Also funny story: I was incredibly sassy in Sunday school yesterday. I probably shouldn't have been
though haha. We were teaching the lesson and I was writing on the chalk board. I
was standing on my tip toes to write something and heard some people snickering,
then as I turned around the old ward mission leader asked if I'd like a step
stool (he's the kind of guy who loves to tease everyone and is just in general
very hilarious). So I asked if he was volunteering. It was funny, but probably
not becoming of a disciple of the Lord haha.
This week was really good! We've had a lot of good variety. We've been
working a lot on finding and found 4 new promising investigators! We're really
excited about it. We've also had some good lessons with the people we're
already working with. We were also so blessed to have 4 of our investigators
come to church!
We've been having some really awesome lessons with
Lucy this week. She's doing really well, however she is still working on some
word of wisdom issues. The father of her kids is still living with her, but they
are working on finding him a new place to live because she knows that he can't
be living there if she wants to get baptized. She also came to church and even
bore her testimony! It was really sweet and it's been amazing to see how far she
has progressed!
Bobby and Mary were also able to do some of their
family history and print a couple of names for the temple! We've got them
scheduled to go
this Saturday,
but Bobby was sick on
Sunday so
they weren't able to get interviewed. We're really hoping that everything will
work out and that they'll be able to go. Bobby had a really wonderful experience
doing family history because she was able to print out her mom's name. There was
a wonderful couple form the ward who was helping them with printing out names
and the wife started talking to Bobby about how wonderful the temple was and
testified of the great work she was doing for her mother. They both teared
up and the spirit was so sweet. I just love them.
We're still
working with Scout and her family to get her baptized. It's just a matter of
finishing the lesson and Scout's uncle getting her so that he can baptize her.
We had a really tender experience with the primary
yesterday. We went to take the missionary meal calendars to
the primary. We weren't sure if we should interrupt and risk distracting the
children. However we heard them singing "Called to Serve". So we poked our head
in and the primary president sees us and motions for us to come in. She wanted
us to help the kids sing the "Texas Fort Worth" edition of "Called to Serve".
That's where instead of saying "Forward, pressing forward" we sing "Forward,
Texas Fort Worth" with all the gusto that we can manage. The primary kids were
so happy to have us there, and Scout just beamed at us the whole time. I don't
think I'll forget that experience, the spirit was so strong. I just love being a
missionary!
Other good news is that I finished reading the Book of
Mormon! I don't know if I told y'all or not, but in August President Ames
challenged us to read the Book of Mormon by
October 16th. So we had roughly two months to do it. He also
encouraged us to pick a specific topic to study about, and only underline things
that pertained to the topic in the book. I studied about the word of God, and
more specifically speaking it. Over these last two months I have found that is
has become a lot easier to speak up and participate in lessons, which is
something I have struggled with a lot! In general I have felt my faith in Christ
grow so much! I know that he is the Savior of the world. I know that the Book of
Mormon is true and that it truly is another testimony of Him. I know that this
is His true church restored on the Earth again and I am so grateful for it. I
love you all!
