Hey Everyone, Sorry it is a day late but because of Labor Day we couldn't email. I hope you all had a great Labor Day. This was my week:

Monday: We did our normal P-day stuff. Cleaning, shopping, and laundry. Then we went and taught one of our investigators. We talked about Faith and how faith is like a seed. I love the way the BOM describes that story. In Alma 32. It was a great meeting and he was able to see how it related to a sees and how we need to nourish our seeds to grow, 

Tuesday: We had Zone Conference. I love meetings with the zone and with President and Sister Gerber. We talked about Leadership and how we are all leaders and how we can show our example by our obedience to keeping Gods commandments. We also talked about how to more effectively use the BOM to help teach and apply it to our investigators. I really liked this instruction and how the BOM is our keystone of our religion and it is how we can convert people an bring them closer to Christ. 

Wednesday: We went finding and talked to some people about the gospel. Then we went and saw our investigator AJ. He is on date to be baptized this week. We are so excited. We talked with him about the commandments and he loves to learn and wants to follow Christ. Then we went and saw Bill. We talked to him about the BOM and how we can better apply it to his life. He is understanding more and more every time we teach him. 

Thursday: We went and saw Peggy. We helped her in her house for the labor day party she was having. She is so great. I love helping her. Then we went finding. After that we went and saw Erik. He is a recent convert. We talked about the Priesthood and the differences and what they were. He is doing great. 

Friday: We did our weekly planning and then we went and saw Ashley. Her kids are so cute. we talked with her about how God answers her prayers and how we just need to rely on him and he will know what is best for us. Then we went finding. 

Saturday: We had exchanges. So Sister Edmonds( my MTC companion) and Sister Jones came to Oxford and we blitzed the area. That just means we all worked here in our area. Exchanges were fun I started with Sister Edmonds and we headed to Almont. We went finding and talked to several people. Then we met with Sister Clark and her family. We talked about the temple and made goals with her to get her back and coming to church. We then went and saw Jean. She is having some health issues but was so happy to see us. We talked to her about the BOM and she was excited to start reading. it. 

Sunday: Was fast Sunday. It was great. At church we talked a lot about Addictions and the addiction behavior programs that are offered. Then us missionaries taught the Gospel Principles class. We talked about Honesty. It was a great lesson. We then talked about the Atonement and also Addiction in Relief Society. It was great. I loved it.

Well that was my week. I hope you all have a great week!!!
Love Sister Alisha Carol Betts
