I'm soo FULL!!!

Well this week has been good,.... well until I found out that my father almost died,! But I know God loves us and is watching over my family right now and that everything will be okay. I know as we continually serve God with all we have he will bless us!    

This week was Elder Lor's last week!! He is doing great. He is excited but not.... at the same time! It looks hard to leave so hopefully it's not as hard as it looks ha ha! Since it was Elder Lors last week every member i swear wanted to feed him before he goes so we had so much food this week!! I feel 30 pounds heavier and disgusted with myself! :) We had two potlucks for him and then going to all the members houses its been nuts. 

This week we had a really cool experience. So we were stopping by this potential that we had found and we had set an appointment up with her, but when we knocked on her door three times we got no answer! We were kinda down and as we were walking back to our bikes some man came running down the street and he was like are you guys Jehovah Witness? We were like... no we are Mormons. So we just started to teach him about the restoration and we invited him to be baptized right then and there and he said yes! It was really cool.... he told us that he had been praying for a sign from God that he would send someone to tell him about his church so it was really awesome...... and Elder Abbott is the coolest Elder in the world!!

My favorite thing about my mission is when you know you are an instrument in the hands of the Lord. Just like in Alma 5. I know that sincere prayer works and I know through prayer we can all be comforted and consoled through prayers. 

Sorry I don't have much to write.... allot is going though my mind right now and I can't focus....I just got a call from President Clements and while I don't know who my companion is, I'm staying in Frogtown and I'm now the District Leader! So I got a new assignment which I'm really excited for and I'm so grateful to serve and be part of this mission.

 

Oh also this week me and Elder Lor spoke in church. It was crazy! There were so many people there it was cool....we were very popular! :) A hmong family from Oklahoma came up and then some members came up from Sacramento so it was packed. 

Well overall a great week!!

Love you all.
