march 17

thank you so much craig and shauna for your advice. It seriously helped. somethimes advice seems simple and like something that the person already knows but for me those were both thoughts that i really needed to hear and had not thought of the situation that way. i was thinking of how i might be failing and not about the Lords time table and how things work out. i am planting seeds and thats important. this week had an unexpected happy thing happen. it is amazing how after the trial of our faith we begin to see the miracles. we had an investigator bring a friend and now we are teaching them both. ok so here is the story. dont get bored, it really is a good story. John is a boy we are teaching and all of his friends and family basically have turned on him and making life hard for him. one friend, who is 15, noticed that john was getting treated really bad so he began to stick up for him. he ask if he could come learn about what he was learning so that he would know how to stick up for him. he did not want to be converted or anything. so yesterday we taught him and the lesson was 3 hours. he wanted it that long, he had tons of question. He said" man i came to help john and now im leaving as an investigtor with a book of mormon in my hand" he laughed so hard it was funny. we are excited. the Lord works in mysterious ways.
i love you all.
love me

march 10th entry (hard week)

im not going to lie im having a hard time wanting to write this letter because it was a hard week and the last thing i want to do is vent to my family. but sometimes it is good to know that someone out there cares and is praying for me. thank you for your prayers. even though this week was hard i know things will pick up eventually.
ok here is a really quick summary of why im having a hard week. we had two people with baptism dates and we put all our hearts and prayers into these people and this last week one of them bassically dropped us and the other one wants more time so she canceled the date. so this will be my fourth baptism date that has been canceled in three months. oh well, after the trial of our faith, then comes the miracle:) i really believe that.
thank you a million times over for your letters. even though i love it out here i still struggle through things and i believe it is a miracle in and of its self that when ever i need a pick me up i have a letter in the mail box with my name on it. and inside are always loving words from a wonderful, loving, suppportive family. thank you for that. well i love you all and i will write next week.
sorry i did not write last week but i ran out of time because one of my investigators (the one that dropped us yesterday) had called me. i really loved that man. it's easy to love people when you serve them with all your heart. i have confidence that he will come around but it will be on the Lords time and not mine:)
love me
