I LOVED THIS WEEK for a few reasons.
1st. On Sunday night last week we had a lesson with a les active family who is awesome!! and guess what his name is? AIDAN!!! it made me think think of my brother back home Aidan Hervey. he and I have pic together in my baby bood when we were like 2 weeks old just chillin' in our onesies!!! I love you bro! as we met with them they expressed their situation and how they would like to go about coming back to church. We are meeting with them every other Sunday and have a great plan set up! They have an amazing desire to come back and we are willing to help and guide them. :) I love these people.

2nd. We have been teaching our investigator Jen. She hasn't been reading or coming to church the past few times so we were really wanting to just talk with her about the BARE BASICS!! We brought a member with us who is a ward missionary, Sister Hans! Jen said she doesn't know if she wants to know if God if he is there, and if he loves her because if that's true, then she is accountable. if it's not, then she has been lied to for her whole life. Out of nowhere, I had the impression to ask her to pray out loud RIGHT then and ask God if he is there, and if he loves her. She has never said a prayer out loud with missionaries and she has met with them of and on for about a year now. She said that her hands were starting to sweat and she already started to cry. I bore testimony that God is there and that she needs to ask to find out. Before she prayed she pointed at me and said, "Don't you cry." :)LOL! She prayed. I have not felt the spirit enter someones elses heart so much at anytime in my life as it entered hers at this time. It was a beautiful prayer. She came to church which she said she would most likely never do prior to her prayer. It was incredible. I love the spirit that testifies. I love my Savior! God is good and he loves us. he makes us strong as we give him our strength. I love this work becasue it is His glory.
Truly - this last week just flew by!! It is crazy how they go by like that and keep getting faster and faster! I saw Jakes video!! Man I miss that kid!! I am so proud of him!! I wish that I could have been there to feel of his love to serve... it soudns like quite the reunion that they had over there! Green
I like life, life likes me, life and I are a purpetual spree! I think that's how that song goes from "Scrooge the Musical" it's been a while haha. I know life is good and the I have been so amazingly blessed with a strong loveing faithful family my whole life. It is amazing to me to see how much God loves us as his children. We read an article about looking at the positive and one quote that I loved was from gordon b hinkely's father. he said, "Cynics do not contribute, skeptics do not create, doubters do not achieve." I loved that quote because I have seen a how much if a necessity it is to be possitive and be believing. SURE it can be hard, and is sometimes deemed impossible but there is a positive to be found anywhere!! We just have to see it. How full is the glass? classic example!
The missionary force is growing so much and is getting stronger then ever. I am so grateful to be a part of it and that god trusts us enough to be the ones fully engaged on the front lines of his work! Lets go boys!!!
Fight the fight, stay the course, keep the Faith!
