Just another Week!!


Hey Family and friends!!!
How are y'all?  I hope everything is good!! I hope you all watched and loved conference as much as I did....I just love that we are able to hear from God's prophets 2 times a year, it's such a blessing that I think I've really taken advantage of over the years.  I loved President Uchtdorf's talk about leaving the dark and coming into and finding the light.  It was exactly what I needed for myself, and for the work. 
So this week has been a weird week.  We did a lot, we had 23 lessons, which is about 3-4 a day, and we got lots of new investigators, but Sister Nanto and I feel like we didn't really do much, it's very strange.  We didn't realize what we had done til we turned in numbers last night, we were both shocked.  I think it's because we didn't get to talk to Ty and Danille really b/c they were on Spring Break and they were our main investigators.  I think we were just very emotionally drained as well b/c we've pretty much been marriage councilors this week.  Sarah's husband randomly decided he wanted a divorse, and it was hard on her, and she needed blessings, and friends, and the gospel, and just so much, and its hard when someone is crying and saying, "This lonely is just such a bad lonely....at least when he was on deployment he had to be, now he's choosing to not be here"  It's really hard, she talked to the Bishop though, and is working on getting her Patriarcle Blessing, and making herself good and clean.  I felt like half the talks in conference were directed to her, and she thought so too, she loved them.
Oh funny story.  So on the 5th I was pretty sick, and was throwing up (yeah no fun) but I was not letting it keep me from tracting b/c we haven't been able too, so I said we were going to tract one street, even if it killed me.  So we went out on the voyage....It was good at first, but we weren't having much success, then I threw up, no success, I threw up again, no success, and I threw up one more time, and still we weren't having success.  My companion kept saying...we're going home, but we only had 6 houses left and I was going to finish this street, so we did.  The next house we knocked was Devin, he asked for a BOM and he said he would be baptized on April 26....we were pretty excited.....We knocked on the next door and met Tasha, she took a BOM and also said she would be baptized on April 26.....now we were very excited.....the next house was empty, but the next house was James who loved that we could trace back our priesthood and he too said he would be baptized on April 26.......by this point we were shocked in amazment.  The last few houses no one answered and we went home and slept b/c I was pretty sick by this point.  But, I learned that if we show God how willing we are to do His work he will bless us.  We have return appointments with all of them, and hopefully their desire will remain.
Well, that's about all that has happened this week, I hope you are all well, and that you know how much I love you, but more importantly how much your Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ love you!!!  I pray for you daily, I love you all!!!!  Hopefully next week will be more exciting and these pills will stop messing with me.  LOVE YOU!!!!!
