It's been a really good week! We've been super busy and have been enjoying missionary life. On Tuesday, we had a district meeting and then had 4 less-active lessons. We've been teaching an investigator named David. He's really prepared. He was the one that came to general conference and then to church. He came again yesterday and we've met with him twice. He's praying about a baptismal date in May. So that's pretty wonderful.
Before I forget, transfers are next week so I won't be emailing until later in the week next week.
I'm going to go get my haircut today. Just a trim. I haven't cut my hair in a year! crazy!
We had 2 lessons this last week that were intense. Spiritually intense. We let the Spirit teach more than anything and we just bore testimony to what the Spirit said. We have a less-active who is trying to come back to church, but just isn't quite finding the motivation so we talked about Jesus Christ and having faith. He started teaching himself by the things he himself said. He was beating himself up pretty bad about not keeping commitments so I just said that it's important to look at what we do do and use those we don't do merely as a reference to make small steps back to right way. Then he said one of the most profound things. He said, "I've come to realize that when we put ourselves down or over think things we are devaluing a gift from God; we are devaluing our worth which is a gift from God." I was like WOW! That is such an intense idea! That really struck home.
Not a whole lot more interesting things are happening. I got an email back from the landlady in Hawaii that I emailed. She said she put my name in one of the spots in the house and that we will complete the rental agreement and logistics in July. SO I have a place to live! Which is good! I just need to email Brother Ferre still and see if I'll have a job!
I'll keep Grandma Nannenga in my prayers and hope that they figure out what's happening. Glad Hailey, Dusty, and the kids are doing well. What's happening in Chandra's world now-a-days? I don't often hear about her!
I saw in the headlines of the newspapers about the explosion in Texas. I thought it might impact dad in some way even if he may not have worked on that plant. So you were in my thoughts earlier this week as well.
Anyway, I've spent most of the time sorting out school, housing, and other things so I have to keep it pretty short. I still need to write President. I love you all so very much!
I love you!
