This week has been a great week for us here in Zanesville. We have been able to teach some lessons to our investigators, Steve and Mike. They are both doing great. Sometimes we get a little frustrated and our patience is tested because we want them to progress  faster than they are ready for, but we have learned a lot this week in this regard that it is not us that knows when they are ready it is the Lord that knows. He is the only one who knows what they are going through and when they are personally ready to move to the waters of baptism. We had a cool experience with Steve this week, we walked into his house and the spirit was different, something was wrong. we all could feel it. We started to teach and nothing was clicking, we couldn't say the things we had planned to say, everything we tried was just not working. Finally Bro. Hamner spoke up and said that he has been trying to figure out what was wrong the whole time. He said that he knew something was wrong but he couldn't put his finger on it. So we asked Steve what had changed and he said that he had hit a spiritual wall and that he didn't feel like he was going anywhere, and that he has been just feeling junky. Bro. Hamner offered to give Steve and his wife Faith a blessing. he did so and it was so good for them. It was their first blessing and it changed the spirit of their home. He came to church on Sunday and looked like he was doing so much better. The priesthood is real and it has so much power to heal and to comfort. I am amazed at every time I get one or witness one there is always something miraculous said in them. I love the priesthood so much. 

One thing I am concerned about is with Sis. Black, she is struggling right now to know if she wants to be out here or not. She has talked to me a lot about it as well. I really don't know how to help her. We are working hard but her heart isn't in it and so it's hard to keep her motivated. If you have any suggestions on how I can help her I am open to anything.

Other than that things are going well here. I am feeling great about how things are going. I am excited to be going on all of these exchanges with the sister staining leaders. It is really exciting. We were able to go to Mt. Vernon last week as well to work with Sis. Webb and Sis. Nalls! That was so fun! We were able to find some awesome potentials and 1 new investigator for them! I love helping other missionaries out!

That is so cool about going to Brett's cabin and doing all these fun things in Utah! I think that both landon and I wish we could have been there, but this is a greater thing that we get to do! I am learning to love this work again and things are going really well! Don't work yourself to death, but you are doing a great job! I am so proud of you! You are excelling at your calling and I am amazed at how well they seem to be doing with you as their leader! A lot of times I think about you and what you would do if you were here. and that is what I base what I do. Also the Savior of course but that is a huge testimony to me that you follow the savior and so I can follow you because you follow him! :) Keep it up mom! you are the best! and I love you! :)

This week we have a lot going on we have district meeting on wednesday, We have sis. Specialized training on thursday, weekly planning on friday until 3 and then after that I am going on an exchange to Circleville until saturday night. Then it's sunday again and I will be going on another exchange with the sister training leader in madison lake, adn then it's transfers! What the!!!? Time flies so fast! It's so crazy! :)

I hope that you have a great week and know that the lord will buoy you up and expand your capacity to do the things that you need to do.

Will you put Sis. black's name on the prayer role in temple and pray for her. She needs a lot of prayers this week. also Mike Smith, Steve Stover, and Chase and Isaiah Starkey.

Thank you !

I love you

Sis. Buhler
