This week was pretty good. Started off with a great Monday
night, we had a lesson to teach L. H. some more recent convert
stuff and since we have already taught it all she chose to learn more about the
plan of salvation. Her mom sat in and got very into the lesson and really
enjoyed it. We felt the need to extend the baptismal commitment to her, so we
did. She thought about it for a little while and said she couldn't because she
is too busy with school and a full time job to be able to go to church. But she
happily agreed to another lesson tonight!
Tuesday we had an All-Mission conference which took up most of the day but was really cool. Elder Bisera from the 70 came and spoke, and so did David Archuletta. Well... He sang more than spoke but he spoke too haha. Then after that the Etheringtons took us to Arby's and to get subzero which was pretty neat.
The rest of the week was pretty much the same, we met a lot of people and got a lot of referrals. Sunday elder Hilsberg and I spoke in church on Sealing Power andTemple Blessings
probably just cuz the members here love us so much.
Last night we had a lesson with R. which went really well. We were able to set expectations for each other which is a big step, and she told us what is holding her back. Essentially, she does not want to become a hypocrite like many members she has met that have given her a bad experience about the church. We gave her some good reading material and the quote by someone important that said something like '100% of the gospel is true to the members, but not 100% of the members are true to the gospel.' I think some things clicked in her head, and we have a return appointment next Sunday.

As far as other contacts go – J.’s "Eye opening
experience" during his fast was that we are blessed to have food, which is
all he could think about as he was starving.... But in our last lesson we were
able to finally help him make the connection that he needs to gain a testimony
of the BOM to gain a testimony of everything else.
So things are picking up and going well. Tomorrow is transfers... And I have no
idea how I feel about that. We should find out sometime tonight if anything is
happening.
And I saw a cool trike thing.

Peace.
