July 6, 2015

Hey everyone,

This week has been great.

Monday: We had our normal P-day. We just cleaned, and relaxed. Later that night we went and saw Cody our investigator. We went over the commandments and also missionary work and service. It was a great lesson.

Tuesday: We did a lot of finding. Later that afternoon we were able to help one of our investigators Brian move. It was a lot of stuff but with Gods help we were able to help him.I love helping others that need help. After that we went to our Ward Mission Leaders house and ate dinner and made the announcement for Cody's baptism. It was great to see them and work on our program.

Wednesday: We had our district meeting and I was asked to give an instruction on teaching to others understanding. It went great and I learned more about how to teach others differently and to help them to understand the truth. After that we had our BOM class and Steve our investigator came with us. It was great seeing him and how he was trying to understand the reading and following along. The spirit is so great to help guide us and show us the way.

Thursday: We went and visited with Bro Jeffery and his sons. They are great, we taught them about service and showed them the LIFT video. If you haven't seen it, I recommend looking it up on Mormon channel. It was a great lesson about serving others and helping those in need. After that we had our last missionary lesson with Cody before he was going to be baptized on Friday. We went over what we had taught him.After that we stopped by a potential Kristy and Jenna. We were there at the right time. At first they were hesitant with meeting with us but they felt the spirit and they are comfortable with meeting with us.

Friday: Cody's Baptism!! It was a great experience. I have noticed so much of a change in his life. We had a lot of people there to support him and his decision. It was great to see his parents there and also his grandparents to be there and experience this as well. His testimony is so strong and great.

Saturday: was the 4th of July. We had a ward breakfast. It was great. we had a lot of less actives show up and also a couple investigators. They had a auction for cakes and deserts for girls camp fundraiser. It was great. After that we went finding. A lot of people were not home but we still were able to talk to some and make return visits. Fireworks here are ok!! They have them go off until about 2 am!! That was fun!!

Sunday: We went to church and Cody was confirmed and received the Gift of the Holy Ghost. It was a great blessing and very spiritual. We had a investigator Betty with us and she had such a great time. She felt the spirit so strong testify of the truth of the church. She also felt like she had found her place in life.

Well I hope you all have a great Week!! Transfers are next week so we will see what happens!!!
