This week has been a pretty good week, we were able to get a lot of referrals and contact them all. none of them panned out but we were still very grateful that we were able to get them. Sis. Black and I are starting to work together more effectively, and we are being able to figure out what it is we were sent to each other for. She has a lot of the same qualities I had when I first came out. And I am starting to see them, and I know how I was able to refine the things that I wanted to fix, and so I can help her with that. That is something that I learned from her. She is having a hard time learning how to recognize the spirit, she has only had a few times in her life when she actually has been able to feel it working in her. She has had other people tell her when they feel the spirit with her, but she has trouble identifying it for her self. That is her struggle, she feels like it's holding her back and it gets her really discouraged sometimes.
Other than that we have had a pretty good week. We found 3 new investigators. Bo, Jennifer, and Molly. They are great! We have been out visiting a lot of people this week, almost every less active that we can go see we have tried to see. We have one of our investigators Steve who we taught the Word of Wisdom last week, he's struggling with that, but he's still really strong and reading the BOM every day with his wife. That is changing their lives, it's amazing to see. Mike our investigator we called you about who was on date for Aug 17th is smoking again, he quit for a week and a half and then Satan hit him pretty hard with about 5 things on the same day and he started smoking again. He doesn't have any hope for himself, and we are trying to instill that back into him, but he doesn't feel like the atonement covers him and so it's hard to help him. We are trying everything we can to help him!
Things are slowly but surely picking back up here in Zanesville, I am so excited to have Sis. Jenkins here with us this week. She is going to be a huge help to us and she will change the lives of the people she teaches out here. She is a recent convert from February serving a mini mission, and she was called here to Zanesville, We found out last night that she was coming, and so it's going to be great having her here. She's really cool and wants to serve a mission really bad, which is awesome!

I'll be honest with you, this week really has been a hard week, Its been different and hard and just plain frustrating. I just keep thinking that things here in zanesville are going to get better but they just keep slipping through the cracks and our investigators are slipping away,I know I'm not supposed to send negative stuff in emails but I really need your prayers! It is hard work but also rewarding at the same time. I love you all. Thanks for all your letters, prayers and support. Sister Buhler
