hey everyone!!! Sorry I haven't been very good about the group emails!!!! I hope everyone is doing great!!!
First off:Good news!!! Hna Carmack and I are staying!!! I'm sooooo happy we get to stay because she so awesome and so is this area!!! yayayayay!!!!
This week was good!!! In the area I'm in now we mostly focus on investigators in this area but we visit a couple less actives. But for the most part we're just teaching investigators and trying to find new ones! Which is super fun! We've been struggling to get our investigators to progress but this week we got one to progress by sending him a couple scriptures to read so that he could be following through with commitments. So hilarious story about that, so we had a lesson with him (by the way he's like this old guy who's super hilarious and funny, basically like teaching a really cool grandpa) and we asked him if he read. He said yes and proceeds to pull out his phone with the scripture app and show us the scriptures so we could talk about them. So we send him two scriptures, Alma 37:6-7, and Mosiah 2:41. So he goes "ok well I went to Alma and then just clicked the number one and then just read a little bit from there." And he began to relate what it was saying to every day life. Which was so funny because it was Alma 1:1 which is where Nehor, the anti-Christ preacher, introduces priest craft into the people and is executed for what he does. Hna Carmack and I were DYING!!! It was absolutely hilarious. But also really cool because though it was the wrong scripture he still really tried to apply it to life and he did a good job and really enjoyed it!! He did the same thing with Mosiah 1:1 which basically just talks about lineage and how the kind has nobody to confer the kingdom too. Oh man it was so funny!!!! Agrepino is soooo awesome! He came to church yesterday too and told us that he wasn't going to sit with us because he wanted to meet some new people!!! Way to fellow-ship yourself Agrepino! hahaha He's great!
We were crazy people the other night and bought soft serve ice cream from a truck at night in the main neighborhood. We were crazy because it was already supppperrrr cold and we got ice cream! But it was really good and the people were super nice! We've always wanted to buy something from there because it's super popular and now mission accomplished!
Speaking of crazy, everyone should look up on the internet the weird meteor, comet, rocket thing that happened in the sky the other night over here because we were walking at night and saw the whole thing shoot across the sky!!! It was soooo weird!! We've heard it was a comet or something! It was really really crazy to watch because it just exploded blue light in the sky!!
Well now that I sound like a crazy person!! hahahaha Everything is going great over here and I'm super happy!!! This Gospel is such a blessing and to be able to bring it to the lives of others is even more so.
I invite you all to read the story of Lehi's vision again but try to apply it to where you are in your lives now! I know that by reading the scriptures and applying them (just like Agrepino) we can receive more clarity about what Heavenly Father's plan for us personally is!
Well I love you all sooooo much!! I hope you have an amazing week!!!
