Week 63 - Put Put - Hold to the Rod

Hey Friends! 

This week started off great on Monday night with a family dinner with the Walz and then a lesson with our investigator, Fran. And then a lesson with the spanish sisters and the Spanish Branch President's sister. We had found them and set up a time, since they speak spanish though we brought along the Hermana's and they picked them up as investigators :)

On Tuesday we found a new investigator, Colleen! She was investigating the church a few months ago but the friend she was investigating with had passed away 2 weeks before their baptism date! We got to see Colleen again this past sunday and committed her to reading the scriptures and praying every day. (Hey and whoever is reading this, you should also read every day!) We know that as she reads she is going to find a closer relationship with her Father in Heaven. And she is still pretty broken and shaken from the death of her friend. She is enthusiastic to get baptized and come to church and we are going to help her get there! I feel blessing to be able to be one of the missionaries helping her.

We got back to biking this week and trading off with the Elders again for the car. I am grateful for the muscles God has given me to enable me to bike to the places I need to go!

Friday, we helped Sister Mish's friend, Keirsten, move a ton of stuff outside. She was having a yard sale the next day and we helped organize the toys and get them out and the elders helped get the furniture all out! They got us pizza :) and she also ended up giving us two couches! We had no furniture in our house and I was determined to get a couch, and it happened! We now have couches we can relax! However, there isnt a ton of time for that, but thats okay :)

Saturday, we went to the Temple's Visitor center with Fran and Sister Higby! We watched the restoration! Also while there I saw Kali and Kyle! A couple I taught back in the summer time! Tender mercy from the Lord! They were baptized on Halloween and Kali's mom was getting sealed that day and they were in the visitors center waiting!

Saturday we also had a ward putt putt activity! Each auxiliary made their own hole and the missionary hole was hold to the iron rod! It was pretty cool! I think the dry ice as the mist was what made it awesome!
Love you all! Hope you have a wonderful week and read those scriptures, "holding to the Iron Rod!"
