How yall doing?

I hope that everything is doing great and hope that everyone has had a great week! We had a really good week and it was a ton of fun. To start out the week i was on exchanges with a Elder in the district almost all week. Because my companion had to go and get x-rays for his knee. And we had to go for a week so his knee doesn't get worse! 

We have started a new thing in our mission with the Just Serve program the church is starting, but we have started trying to go and do service for the people on that site! We also had our ZTM this week and it was great! They talked about keeping the Sabbath day holy, and how we should feel as we take the sacrament and how to get our investigators to feel the spirit more in sacrament! It was really good and i learned a ton about the Sabbath day! 

But this week we had a bunch of awesome experiences but one that stands out is on Thursday. We had been out all day and it was super hot, and we had, had some cool experiences that day. It was about 8 o'clock and it was getting really dark, and we still hadn't eaten anything and we were wanting to go home. We decided that we would go and try one more of our potential investigators that we had found. So we went and I hadn't seen his car or anything out side and he didn't tell us what house he lived in. But we knew the apartment complex, so we decided we were going to knock on a door that we knew had some people. We knocked on the door, and some kids came and opened it. And we started to talk to them and then the mom came out and wanted to know what we were doing. So she invited us in, and we started to teach them about the restoration. They loved it and they wanted us to come back and teach them everything and they wanted to come to church. It was such a blessing to me and showed me if we truly follow the spirit, he will lead us to the people that have been prepared!

But i hope everything is going fine at home, and its staying a little warmer. Because it is getting colder here! But love and miss yall and have a great day!!
