Just a little slow...but still awesome!

March 6, 2017

This week was a little slower for us, but that is okay because we are going to make this week the best week ever!

We had a crazy experience this past week. There is a less-active man that we usually visit, and we thought that he was a member. This week we talked to a missionary who used to serve in this area, and he told us that this person had been baptized, but then he had gotten super super sick that day, and he was never confirmed! Isn't that crazy! He's been baptized but not confirmed. :)

Holy cow, T. is so amazing! Last week Elder Dickson and another Elder were on exchanges and they saw T. She again opened up to them and told them how she was seeking for peace. The other Elder (Elder Law) told her to just listen to us (Elder Dickson and I) and she would find peace. She promptly agreed to listen to our lessons! This week we met her at the church building and taught her the Restoration. She related super well. After we taught her about the apostasy she totally related it to her own life! She said she felt like she had stepped away from God for a time, but now she wanted to return. The story about Joseph Smith was really cool because it helped her to see that God can and will answer her prayers when she reaches out to him! At the end of the lesson she said her first vocal prayer in a long long time! It was such a neat experience!

My bike stopped working one of the days and it took FOREVER to fix it. It was kinda a pain, but Elder Dickson knows bikes super well and was able to make it work even better than before! We oiled everything and now we basically fly down the road! It's pretty sweet. If we were biking and I strapped some wings onto Elder Dickson he'd actually take off! It's intense.

I am so grateful to you all: for all of your prayers and support! The gospel truly changes lives!
