22 Months

This week was great! We had a lot of just good days. Those kind of days where you go home and you feel pleased with what was accomplished. We had a lot of good contacts this past week. More less-actives who are allowing us to come back and visit them. We've been seeing a lot of miracles with that aspect. I'm really enjoying my time here. It is a good place to be a missionary. The Bishop has his focus's and I like them. We are trying to align our will's with the Lords, and the Bishops. We wish to be the best missionaries that we can be! That is what we are shooting for! 

So being able to watch the Face to Face last night was AMAZING!! It was first of all, super funny! Elder Oaks said so many things that made the whole congregation laugh! I loved it! The Apostles are not stoic robots. They are real people with real emotions and real thoughts. I loved the insights that they had! As I look to the future, I saw the answers there that I needed. They truly are Apostles of the Lamb. The YSA's of Reno and Sparks gathered with all the Missionaries in those zones to one building in Sparks. So we watched the broadcast with our missionary friends and our ward members. Super strange! 

So we had this HILARIOUS thing happen. We have this investigator named Richard who used to have a problem with hard core drugs. This past week he almost slipped again because he reached out to his drug dealer. However, earlier in the week he had prayed that all temptations would be removed. And they kinda were? So he reached out to his dealer, they set up a time to meet, and Richard gets there. 10 minutes go by and the dealer isn't there so he calls him. Turns out, the dealer had gotten HIT BY A CAR on his way to come. So the temptation was kinda taken away? But that was one of the coolest answers to prayer that I've ever heard! So that is how Richard avoided doing hardcore drugs this week...

The Lord looks out for us haha


I love all y'all and each y'all!

P.s. the Dealer survived being hit by a car and he threw away all the drugs!
