May 4, 2015
Hello Everyone,

This week has been so amazing!!!

Monday: We had our P-day and we went and rested. We tried to cook a roast. It didn't really work so well. Anyways, We had an appointment with one of our less actives. We even got to teach his wife who isn't a member. We taught them about miracles and how trials happen but by turning to God, he will help us. We also met another potential investigator named Clarinda. she was very nice and seemed interested.

Tuesday: We met with our investigator Phillip. We taught him about the Book of Mormon, He is so interested in reading it. He even wanted to try and rent it from the library. He is progressing along and is wanting to change to come unto Christ. We then saw another new investigator Cody. He was a member referral. We taught him about the restoration, and then about the book of Mormon. He was very interested and even looked up our beliefs on the internet. He came to church yesterday. it was a great experience.

Wednesday: We had our district meeting and I gave an instruction on Our Purpose. I was really nervous, but with Gods help I was able to do it. After that we went and taught one of our less active families. We read Nephi's courage to go and get the golden plates. They loved the story and we talked about obeying our parents and follow gods commandments,

Thursday: We Did some service for a member. We helped them to clean up their garden and to make her yard look good. They are so appreciative for all our help. I love helping with service. It feels so good. We then met with Angela a less active who is struggling in life. We were able to teach her the blessings that God promises us by reading the scriptures and praying.

Friday: We met with Cody again and we learned more about what he is doing in life. He even might go to BYU for college. We taught him about the Book of Mormon. He loved it and wanted to start reading it right then. Then we did our weekly planning.

Saturday: We went and taught our investigators Art and Miguel. We watched the Restoration with them. They really enjoyed it. We then invited them to come to church. They came to church it was great. After that we met with one of our new investigators Scott. He was searching to know. We taught him about the restoration and he was fascinated by learning about it. He didn't want us to leave. He even wanted us to get him a Book of Mormon. It was such a spiritual experience.

Sunday: We had church. I love church and fast Sundays. The Adrian Ward is so great. It reminds me of home. They are so caring and loving to everyone. especially the visitors. We had 3 investigators come to church and they felt so loved and cared for. It was amazing.

Well It is amazing to see how much things and miracles happen. When I first came on my mission we only had 3 investigators, now we have 8 investigators and we find new ones each day.

Well I love you all!!!

Love Sister Alisha Carol Betts
