Week 36!

Area: Leavenworth, KS
Companion: Elder Peterson

This week has been good.  We had interviews with President Vest and I got to ask him some doctrinal questions which was awesome!

The beginning of this week was so humid it literally felt like it was raining but the water drops were just suspended in the air and you just walked into them. Then on Friday there was a huge rain storm and from our apartment door running to the car we were completely soaked. But the good news is that since then the humidity has gone down a ton and the mornings are starting to dip down to the high 60s. It feels so good. I am excited for winter.

This week we have been trying to go through the ward roster and meet everybody we don't know. There are some interesting people in this world that is for sure. But some blessings we have seen from that is asking members who they know in the ward that could use a visit and it's been really cool to see the connections from that.

We also got 2 referrals this week! It was so awesome. We contacted one and she is interested and we have a return appointment for next week! The other one was a little different. He came out and apparently he has met with Elders before so he knew who we were and was very nice to us. But this week he has had quite the spiritual experience. He says that the spirit is telling him to do all these things like the Sabbath day is on Saturday and to go and mow his lawn on Saturday like 10 times and all sorts of things. He has been reading the bible a lot, so that's good. But he talked to us for like 1 1/2 hours and it was probably in the top 7 most memorable conversations of my life.

Another miracle, we had just got done with lunch and we were driving down the street to go see someone and a lady that lives just down the street from us flagged us down. So we turned around and she is this little 79 year old  lady from the Philippines and she asks if we want to go to lunch with a "lonely old woman" and we said " I guess if you twist our arms" so she took us to Applebee's. Apparently she took the last set of missionaries out and she just likes the company, but we talked about temples and stuff. It was cool.

On Sunday the primary asked us to come in and talk about missionaries and how awesome missions are. So we spent the whole time in primary and it was hilarious and very small. There were about 10 kids in both junior and senior primary.

Well that was pretty much my week. Thank you all very much for your support. It is always awesome to hear from you.
Make it a good week!
