Family and Friends.

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!! I just bought your birthday presents today, and I will get them sent off to you as soon as I can get to the post Office! I love you so much and really hope that you have such a great day on Friday!!!!! 

I did get your package, I loved the hat and gloves, and everything else in there! I really appreciate everything you do to keep me warm and all stocked up and loved! Some missionaries don't get things from family ever

 so I feel so loved that so many people really do care! I also got a cute letter from the cluffs this week too! it was a family news letter and it had some pictures from Jessica! I loved it! I also got one from grandpa too! :) We are having a zone fun day because we reached our goal of everyone in our zone getting 1 at church and making breakfast for our investigators! We also as a zone found 24 new investigators from Thursday to Sunday  it was awesome! 

( I also asked her how she would have reacted if she had been home when Michael and Ashley dropped off a surprise at her apartment when they were in Columbus)

What would I have done if Mike and Ash would have been there when I showed up...I don't know.......I would have hugged them talked to them for a second.... ok longer than a second.  I probably would have freaked out in a good way!  Sis. little wouldn't have liked it, she would have been so mad to be honest! I loved it though it really made me feel even more loved! :) 

I got to kill a missionary this week! Sis. Webb has been traveling the mission for the last two weeks and she ended her mission here in Scioto, so I killed her! it was awesome to have her for her last few days! I love her so much and look up to her so much! She gave us so much advice about how to be confident and how to have power, she is just amazing! :) 

so here's the run down of how things went this week! 

This week was a great week for us! full of lots of miracles! I know that it was because Sis. Little and I have been able to work together and get through the differences and show an increase of love towards each other. That has helped so much! :) We finally were able to have someone at church this week. Alia came and is so excited to never miss again and she wants to be baptized and loves getting to know the people in our ward. After 2 weeks of missing church she was noticing how much grumpier she was not going and how her and her husband fight when she doesn't go, and so she says that she never wants to miss again! What a miracle that she is recognizing those things, we are going to extend baptism again to her this week for the 23rd of Nov. We know that she can be baptized that day! We are so excited, we have been praying and fasting for her as munch as we can every day with prayer. She is so awesome! :) This week we were challenged by our zone leaders to find at lease 2 more investigators by the end of the week from mid weeks on. and we were able to see miracles for that as well. we prayed and prayed and prayed to find, we went out Saturday morning and tracted around a member and the people weren't really receiving us all that well, then about an hour later as we were getting into our car one of the guys whose door we knocked on drove by and rolled down his window and said that he wished he would have let us in, and that if we came back in about an hour or so that he had some questions he wanted answered. SO we went back and taught him the first lesson, every question just went right along with the restoration right in order, Matthew and his wife are so great, I have a really good feeling about them, we invited him to be baptized and to read the book of Mormon, he prayed with us , and he said that he'd read it that night! This is the miracle we have been looking for  a while and we are so grateful! We also found Audrey and Theresa. they are awesome too! Ready and willing to be taught! I know the prayer works and something that Sis. Webb taught me while she was here with us this week is Pray Until Something Happens P U S H, it works we have been super specific and faith filled in our prayers and that is why we have been able to see so much success this week! :) 

I was reading 2 nephi 4 this morning for personal study and I really feel like nephi sometimes because I feel like I have so many temptations that easily beset me, and that I am never good enough, and there is always stuff I can improve, but then I turn to how much the savior has done for me and merciful Heavenly father is and then it wakes me up to see that He really has been there for me through it all. And that he is carrying me, then I think like Nephi "awake my soul, no longer droop in sin..." I can't rely on my own arm, and my own flesh because I am weak but when I rely on Him he can make me strong. That was so awesome to read to day! I love that chapter! 

I love you guys so much! I really miss all of you and want you to know that I feel every prayer, especially through the hard days! :) I hope you have a great week! 

Keep on keepin on! 

Love, sis. Buhler
