August 12th Letter




This was a decent week! I got to give my first baptismal interview last Thursday and it was an awesome experience. It was sweet to see someone so excited to join the church. She's 17, and was referred by her friends. shocking! Member referrals WORK. Our new mission plan is strictly following that. We have this new plan that we are to work strictly with members. We aren't really even allowed to tract! ha ha that is amazing. We do this thing where by the spirit we identify someone who we can go visit and challenge them to have someone for us to teach in 7 days. Its for sure an inspired program and people have already seen success from it. Normally i hesitate with change but i know that this was inspired and its AWESOME. This was also kind of a bad week. Over the weekend a few times i was really struggling many times with self esteem and what not. I could REALLY feel Satan working on me and i didn't like it. I tried so many things, listening to some of my favorite songs, writing letters to people, but stuff just kept bugging me. It wasn't until i sincerely prayed that i started to feel better, and this morning i read a great article on the Atonement that OOBER made me feel better. I love the Gospel. We taught one of our favorite member families the restoration, and it was awesome. The Spirit was definitely there, As i was teaching i felt impressed to testify of Christ, and i don't know how i talked so well, ha ha it fo sho was NOT me. I love when that happens. Its a big builder of the testimony. There goes another week in the life of me. I'm excited for pday today, hopefully we'll do some sweet stuff, and if we play volleyball I'll be able to ROCK it. Love you all!
