This week was a pretty great week.

This week was a pretty great week! we had a lot of miracles here are there. But on i wanted to focus on was on a day that it was dumping snow! My Companion and i had been door knocking for a while and we were with out a car. We were headed back home through the snow and a car pulled over and asked if we wanted a ride! we said we would love one! so we jumped in and started talking with the guy. His name was Ian. as we started talking to him i asked if he had talked with missionaries like us before. and he said yeah i use to be one, in South Korean. This kind took me back and i didnt know if it was for another church or for ours. On our way back to the appartment and he asked us if we had had dinner we told him not really and he said why dont i take you out to get some. We went to dinner at Bob Evans and had a nice dinner with him. after a while of talking i asked if he was a member of the church and he said he used to be but not anymore. then that conversation ended there. After the nice dinner he took us home and dropped us off and said hopefully you guys have a great week and you can tell people that a crazy former member took you to dinner. we left him a card and our number and told him to call us if he ever needed anything. as we went into the appartment i thought alot about this experience. I first wondered why he had left the church or what had happened in that case? then i wondered why as a former member of the Church he stopped to pick us up? I am very very grateful for this mans Generosity to pick us up and feed us! he truly had a great heart! Im still not sure what to think about this experience but for some reason it has touch me deeply that someone, even though they have left and have fallen away are still amazing people I just hope that some day he finds his way back to the Lasting happiness that this gospel can bring! John 14:27

Hey Everyone!

This past week went really well! we have been teaching a guy from Cuba. He is awesome and has gone through some crazy things in his life! he has started to believe in God and is truly looking for the missing link in his life and he is finally starting to find it! He is truly Changing! the spirit in his home is always very strong it is just a little by little process. he is truly trying to build a relationship with God. But before he can do that or before any of us can do that we must know who God is and how he works! so that is what we are working on with him!

Audrey is doing great! We helped her move this week. she stayed in the ward. She is supper solid, we set a date to go to the temple with her and we started doing family history with her and one of the members! And she is on a roll! she texted this morning and talk about how in church yesterday we talked a lot about personal revelation and revelation and prayer, and that how it was her goal to read then to write things in a journal after she studies every day this week! it truly is a testimony builder to see what God can do for us when we are truly wanting to change! 

The work is Real! The Gospel and Church is real if it wasnt then there would not be so much opposition i against it! We have had a lot of persecution this week concerning the Prophet Joseph Smith. But the Prophet Joseph Smith said, "When I do the best I can—when I am accomplishing the greatest good, then the most evils and wicked surmisings are got up against me. … The enemies of this people will never get weary of their persecution against the Church, until they are overcome. I expect they will array everything against me that is in their power to control, and that we shall have a long and tremendous warfare. He that will war the true Christian warfare against the corruptions of these last days will have wicked men and angels of devils, and all the infernal powers of darkness continually arrayed against him. When wicked and corrupt men oppose, it is a criterion to judge if a man is warring the Christian warfare. When all men speak evil of you falsely, blessed are ye, etc. [see Matthew 5:11]. i know that to every action there is an opposite or equal reaction, so everything we put into the work of God is going to come back to us in the form of adversary from satan by what ever means it maybe! i hope you all know that we can overcome any Trial through the love of God and through obey his commandments that are here to protect us! 

Love you all and thanks for all that you have done for me!

Audrey's Baptism

This week was a great week! we Had tradeoffs with the zone leaders, a lot of door knocking and a baptism. Alot of this week that i have been reflecting on is What image do i put out as a Representative of Jesus Christ? Am i striving to be a example of the believers, and i striving to be a example of what i truly believe and who i truly am? As we door knocked this week a guy from cuba let us in! we thought o great here we go! But as he let us in he showed us two Book of Mormons that he had. as we got to talking he was really sure if there was a God. but then he started to open up and talk about his family and how his house is like a temple like the ones in utah. we started to explain what God can do for our families and how they can bless us! Then he said you know i will always let Mormons into my house! because there is something different about them, and i know that they would never bring bad in to my home! the spirit was so strong!. we told him that we had to go but when we come back on tuesday we would teach him what that difference was! and he said no i want to know now! after explaining that we had to go he let us go. then he said ya know i always learn something when to mormons come over. so we asked him what he learn and he said that he learned that for some reason God had sent us to his door for a reason! we left him Alma 32 to read about how if it is a good seed it will grow Just like he is growing as he learns about this Gospel!

Audreys Baptism Was awesome She is truly amazing! she texted us last might and talked about how she felt an overwhelming feeling when to Holy Ghost was given to Her and that it was a feeling that she couldnt describe! and how she is supter stoked to go to the temple! God really Does place people in our paths for a reason! The blessing that Come through this Gospel and through Jesus Christ and Faith are inumerable! all we have to do is have with which is a belief that leads to Action in what we believe! love you all and i hope you have a great week!

Great Week!

This week was pretty solid! we found new investigators and we taught a lot of lessons! We taught Audrey this week and she is solid! she is super stoked for her baptism! It has been cool to she the change in her from when we doorknocked into her til now! she was truly Prepared! she has names that she already wants to take to the temple! God truly does prepare people for us to find! i hope that you all have an amazing week and remember the Spirit of grattitude! The things that God has given us is in numerable! I invite you all the say a pray sometime this week and do it only in Gratitude then reflect on the things you have and the Spirit you will feel i promise you it will change your perspective on life! i love you all and i hope that you have a great week!

What's up?

 This week has been Pretty Solid! we talked to a lot of people! Some of them were pretty solid and some of them were just funny. We talked with one kid that was 11 while we were waiting for any investigator and man! was he smart! holy cow! i had him read a scripture that talks about how the USA is the Promise land and that when we follow God We will be lifted up and he was like man. why are we just throwing God away then. There are all these people saying there saved but they dont show up to church and actually show it! then he talked to us about Obama and all the politics and how crap did he know alot! we are going to try to teach his family this week so pray for them his name is eric. 

       We also taught bryan and sam and we found out that they are moving back to saginaw for work reasons. Bryan promised us that he would not let go of God so we got him incontact with the saginaw elders so please pray for them! and he wants us to come up for his baptism so Keep praying for him!

     We also taught Audrey this week and man is She ready for baptism! we had a great lesson with her and a brother from the ward who is solid and it makes the world of difference having solid members! We talked about the Holy Ghost and how we can recieve and answer! and we also read 2 nephi 31 about the doctrine of Christ. we asked her how she felt and she said that she wasnt sure. so we decide to have her pick a date, then we would all go into the living room and kneel down and pray, and that she would pray specifically for Feb 6th then wait for a bit to think of the feelings and the thoughts that came to us. so we did. and she prayed. and she felt something! and we helped her understand that it was the Holy Ghost! it was awesome She is Truly Prepared to be baptized!

I hope that as we all go about this week that we will look and pray for oppurtunities to share the Gospel In what ever form it maybe then look for those spiritual impressions that come! i love you all and i hope that you have a great week!

It's a great week!

This week we had some solid lesson with Audrey and Bryan and Sam. We had members to all of them and they were really really good lessons! they are all progressing and they all came to church. They are praying for dates! keep praying for them! we went door knocking in the ghetto this week it is pretty crazy how people live. it is truly a humbling experiences to be able to be in areas like that. to bad they wont all listen to us and the spirit and how Jesus Christ could bless there lives. If the only know what faith could do for them! Cause it can truly move mountains if you believe and then put action into that belief I love you all and I hope that you have a great week! and remember the Savior in all that you do!

tranfers calls are this Friday.

We are all growing!

Hey everyone! I hope that you all had a great week! This week has pretty busy! This week I that really stuck out to me was that we are all growing at different rates in the gospel! We all have our struggles but it is through the same God and Savior that we are able to overcome those stuggles and grow! in Matthew 4 the Savoir says to his Apostles come follow me and they do it immediately! that is all that he asks us no matter where we are at or what we are doing he asks us to have Faith even when sometimes it is blind faith. but as we do it he bless us in ways that we can not describe! Where ever we are at we need to come unto him and humble ourselves! I hope that you all have a great week! Always remember that he is there and that his Atonement works for us all!
