August 7, 2017

Another week has come and gone. The days go by pretty slow here but the weeks are super fast! I can't believe it's already monday again. 
The weather has been super weird here. One minute its sunny and super nice and the next its cold and rainy. It even started hailing one day. It hasnt been too hot though so that's good. I just never know if I should have a raincoat with me:)
We drove into District meeting this week. It was in the other minnesota area, a place called International Falls. We stayed the night in Bergland, Ontario with the sister missionaries there so I got to go to Canada this week! They live in a little farm house and have two cats because I guess the mice are bad. My cat allergies got the best of me that night:( 
We ate at some member houses this week so that was great! I ate bear at one house and then deer at another so I guess I'm pretty cultured;) At one of the houses they had their non member nephew with them so we got to teach a lesson to him. Unfortunately when we asked him to pray and read the book of mormon he said no, but at least we planted a seed!
We almost had a baptismal date with a lady who has been coming to church with her husband for years.. but she is scared to commit to anything. Crossing our fingers for this week. 
We were knocking some doors in a trailer park the other day and we knocked on this guys door who was super tall! We were talking to him for a little bit about lots of things and right in the middle of the conversation mid sentence he looked at me and said, "Man you are short." I just replied and said, "yeah your right, want to come to church sometime?" He said maybe. I think he has potential. 
That's about it for this week! Looking forward to another great one! 

Here's a quote that is super awesome:
"The Atonement (Of Christ) is much more than a divine rememdy to correct our sins after they are committed. The Atonement is in fact the MOST POWERFUL MOTIVATIONAL FORCE IN THE WORLD... The Savior has suffered not just for our sins and iniquites-- but also for our physical pains and anguish, our weaknesses and short comings, our fears and frustrations, our regrets and remorse and despair." 
-On The Atonement by David A. Bednar 

Hope you all have a great week!!
