Hey!!! So this week has been like the best week ever!!! So on Tuesday we went to transfer meeting and we got our new companions. Mine is Sister Nanto!! She is SO AWESOME!!!! I don't even know how to explain it, like day 2 we were best friends and its kinda insane! The last couple nights we've gotten home at 9 so we had some time and so we've been jamming. :) Our ward gave us a keyboard that has some sweet beats and so we've been rap singing some disney songs to them, it's really fun!! It's definitely a good way to cool down after the very long days we've been having.
So this week has been the most physically draining week of my life! We came into the new area, Kitsap Lake Ward, and after visiting the couple of investigators we had, we realized we didn't really have anybody. Brother Hodgdon said maybe in a year he might change, but he doesn't even want to believe there is a god right now, so we won't really teach him much, just visit Sarah and bring the spirit into the house. Everyone else kind of fell through too so we don't really have anybody, which means we have been tracting about 2-7 everyday, yeah 5 hours of people slamming their doors in your face isn't so fun everyday, but it's what you've gotta do!
We have had some awsome miracles this week though:
Miracle 1: So to start off you have to know that Sister Nanto used to serve in this area about 8 months ago, so she knows a lot of people around here, which is awesome since I don't know the area....anyway, we went and visited one of her formers who had been anti-ed by someone, and we taught her the restoration again, and we resolved her issues and she's going to be baptized on the 17!!! It was awesome!
Miracle 2: There was this kid that came to church last week with his grandma because she wants to start coming back to church. He didn't enjoy it last week, so we decided to teach him a lesson during sunday school to get him more excited. He didn't want to come but one of his neighbors said he'd come with us so he agreed. He is 12 years old and is named Jamey. We taught him the first lesson, and talked about the Book of Mormon, and Brother Hausman, the most legit fellowship ever, helped him see that the gospel can change lives, and how special it is. Then, I put him on date for baptism on the 23 and he said YES!!!! It was the first time I had put someone on date, and it felt so good!!!
Miracle 3: There is this guy, Joseph Rose, who we have been trying to teach. We finally got a hold of him, and he wants to find something to change his life, like a church. We told him, well, we've got that something. So we talked to him, gave him a Book of Mormon, and he is kind of on date for the 23 as well....he was unsure, but we're meeting with him tomorrow and we think he really wants this, it's really exciting.
Well, I think that is the big stuff. I am just so happy to be out here serving the Lord, and helping God's children come unto him and see the joy they could have by being baptized. I love my Savior Jesus Christ and my Heavenly Father. I can't think of a better way to be spending my life!
I love you all and hope all is well. I will try to send pictures home next week, I forgot my camera. But look on thebeautifulwa-tac.blogspot.
I love you and miss you!!!
