Hey Everyone,

its been almost 2 weeks out here in Michigan. Can you believe it. I cant. I love it out here and have learned so much. 

Monday was P-day, we wrote letters, went to the store, took a nap, and then went to the park and Spotted Cow ice cream place. It was a lot of fun. We then went and met with a less active member and showered her the "because of him" video it was amazing. 

Tuesday: we met with our investigator Dan, we taught him about praying and understanding his prayers. The lesson was so good and you could feel the spirit. Then one of our members took us to lunch at Hogie Man, it was really good. Then we went tracting and talked to a lot of great people about faith in Jesus Christ. 

Wednesday: We met with our investigator Samuel and his mother Paula. We taught him the Book Of Mormon and about the Judgment. He had several questions on the Judgement and we helped to find his answers. After that we met with Nancy she is a less active that we are helping understand the importance of coming to church and taking the sacrament. The lesson went really well and I was able to follow the promptings of the Holy ghost. It was amazing. 

Thursday: Was Zone Conference. It was amazing. I learned so much on listening to the spirit and letting him guide us through our lessons. we also talked a lot about afflictions and tribulations help us to become the best missionaries and to learn and grow form them and find happiness and joy in our tribulations and afflictions. The conference really helped me to focus on specific prayers and to ask God these questions and how or what he would like us to learn and teach. 

Friday: We had our weekly planning. Its where we plan for the whole week. We also met with a older lady about the restoration. she is 97 and pretty funny. we taught her and then she talked to us about her life and her family it was really fun and interesting. 

Saturday: Was a busy day, we had lots of appointments with our investigators and service. We had our lesson with Dan and read and talked about the Lords Prayer. it was amazing that he searched the scriptures and came up with his own answers. Next we meet with Dillon, he is in High School, but wants to learn more about God and what his plan for him is. we taught him the restoration and it was so spiritual. We then went to visit Richard, Im not sure if I told you about him last week but he called us looking for a different number the YMCA, we then talked to him about who we where and if he wanted us to come by. He agreed. So Saturday, we went to meet with him. He was amazing, he has been through a lot but wants to become free. We talked to him about God and his love for him. He loved talking about God and his plan for Richard. We then invited Richard to come to Church with us the next day. He agreed. We were so excited. 

Sunday: We had meetings and then went to Sacrament. Richard showed up to church and loved learning about the gospel. he says he is excited to come back. In Sunday School they asked us to teach on the spot. We all took a portion of the lesson on Prophets. It was amazing to teach and just follow the spirit. After church we decided to go tracting in a town called Figy RD. we got there and there were only 2 houses. well we knocked on the first house and the lord does provide, his name is Casey and he was very interested in learning more. We left him with a pamphlet and he was excited to read it. 

Well I love you all and Hope all is well
