Man, well what to say about all that has happened to you guys in the last couple of days! that is amazing! I am excited to hear what will happen in the weeks to come! :) I sure hope girls camp goes well! Tell all of the girls hi for me, and make sure you do two things that are essential to the ultimate girls camp experience. 1. Maryia must get into a whipped cream fight with someone on the late night food raid. and 2. Someone has to dump water on Brad, just to see what he will do! Do these things and girls camp will be an instant success! :)
Now for the real stuff! So this week really has been a great week! we have had so much stuff going on. We saw so many less actives, and most of them were actually home when we went to see them, which never happens. we committed almost all fo them to come to church within the next two weeks and we actually got invited back to have dinner with 2 of them! that was a miracle, we didn't even ask! It was all them! what a blessing! :) Our district meeting was so awesome this week, it was on chapel tours and we had a great time learning about them and how to commit someone to be baptized right after one. being motivated to get a chapel tour this week, the apt. after District meeting we actually got our investigator to agree to come to one! :) It didn't go exactly as we had hoped, but we felt the spirit! it was great!:) We have really been trying to be as effective and obedient as we can possibly be, and because the Lord knows we are trying he is blessing us with many miracles this week! we have gotten 2 new investigators and have taught so many lessons and helped a bunch of people come loser to their savior this week because of that! I am so blessed to be out here right now! I love this work and everything about it! :)
One sweet experience we had this week, we were in the ER with one of our investigators who's mom has just had a stroke and we were waiting for her to get to the hospital. we had just been at his house for dinner and were going to start the lesson when we got the call that his mom was being taken to the ER. So sis. Pollock and I were just waiting and looking around and sis. Pollock notices this guy covered with tattoos and has a cane, and his leg is all nasty and infected. So she's like, I need to go talk to this guy, so while I'm back talking to Steve's mom and saying a prayer with her so she feels better, Sis. Pollock is talking to this guy, Adam. He has been to jail twice, he used to be a drug dealer, he lives on the worst street in South Zanesville, but he read the book of Mormon while he was in jail and he is so interested in changing his life around. So right before he got called back to get checked out for his leg, we exchanged info and we are hoping to get an apt. set up for him this week!
Maybe we should hang out in the er more often! :) "The whole needeth no physician, but they that are sick" right! :) It really had been a great week! :) I hope that things are going great at home! We are having zone fun day today in Newark and we are spraypaint tyedying shirts as a zone, and then playing some games! It's going to be great!:)
Can you send me a list of family birthdays so I know when everyone's are? that would be great! :)
I'm trying to think if there is anything else I need to tell you.....nope I think that is it! except that pres. nilsen is going in for surgery on wednesday, so please keep him in your prayers. he's going to need every single one of them! :)
Oh yea, THE MISSION SPLIT TODAY! I am thankfully still in the Great Ohio Columbus Mission! Under the direction of Pres. Nilsen! :) thank goodness that I got to stay! I would have cried if I would have had to leave! :)
