Week 9 in Michigan!!!
May 11, 2015
Hey Everyone,

This week has been great.

Monday: we had P-day and just relaxed. We then went finding and talked to a lot of great people. We even got return appointments to a couple.

Tuesday: We met with our less active Angela and her son Micheal. We helped them to better understand the Book of Mormon. We read the first chapter of Nephi with her. She really liked it and loved asking questions and we were able to help her understand it better. We then went tracting and we met James. He is going to nursing school and he was interested in learning more about the church and Jesus Christ. We will be seeing him and his wife this week.

Wednesday: We had a meeting with another less active family. The McCallisters. We taught them the importance of praying as a family and also having family scripture study. Then we went tracting. We met Mary. At first she was not too happy with us and told us what she believed, but then it was amazing to see how God works and helped her heart to soften and we were able to talk with her more about what we do and believe. She even might call us to help her move. It was a great experience to feel the Holy Ghost and to see her change to wanting to learn more. We then had our weekly Ward Correlation with our ward mission leader. It was great.

Thursday: Today we met with our new investigator Kit. We taught her about the Book of Mormon and the importance in reading it. We have another appointment with her to read it with her this week. We then went tracting, where we met with 2 great potentials. Amayia and Melissa. We showed them the Because He Lives Video and they loved it. We are going back there tonight.

Friday: We had Specialized Training. We were able to meet with our zone and also with President and Sister Gerber. It was great to be able to see Sister Cherrington again. President Gerber talked to us about How to make lessons short and simple so investigators and others can understand what we teach. He invited us to try to get a lesson down to 1 minute and then build upon that. It has been hard but we have one of the lessons down to 2 minutes so we have practicing each day. President Gerber also taught us about having Faith. Which means to have Trust in the Lord. No matter what happens.

Saturday: We met with Scott our investigator. We were planning on teaching him about the Book of Mormon. His daughter joined the lesson and we gave her a Book of Mormon as well. We taught them the importance of the Book and we then invited them both to be baptized. They said they would so they are working on being baptized on August 15.We are so excited for them. After that we met with Anne and Dave. This meeting was really cool. We met them at their apartment building and we were sitting out on the porch. We started to talk to them about the Book of Mormon, and then some of their neighbors joined in for the lesson. It was really cool to see that we were teaching 6 potential investigators. They all loved learning about the book and are looking forward to us coming back this week. 3 of them are going to try to come to church this week. Miracles are happening each day. It is great and amazing to see how the Lord helps us and prepares people so that we can teach them.

Sunday: MOTHERS DAY!!! Our ward did a mothers day program and it was really good. It made me think of all the mothers out there. Today we did some tracting and then we got to Skype our family. It was great to see everyone. thanks for all the support.

Well that was my great week.

Well I love you all. I hope you have a great week.
