So just to get the news out. Yeah. Elder Prescott and I did NOT hit 400 contacts this last week. We got 362. haha. Close but not quite. But its cool. The Zone Leaders, APs, and President couldn't believe it. haha. But we're feeling really good about the way that the work is going. We're just working our butts off and trusting that the Lord will deliver the rest. He's doing it so far. So things are feeling great. I just feel really good about the work right now. I'm working my tail off. We come home every night exhausted from walking everywhere, walking in the rain, talking to people, teaching people, dropping investigators, getting let down, getting stood up at appointments, eating, and just doin work. haha. Love it. Dad, you said we're keeping Satan on his heels. haha. Nope. I think he's on his back.
The referral that we got last Sunday, Rowena, brought her husband Ernie with her to church on Sunday and they both just ate it up. They loved it. Elder Prescott and I were both speakers in church. We had both really prayed a lot seperately to know what to talk about. He felt he needed to speak on the importance of the First Vision. I felt really impressed to speak about the importance of Joseph Smith. It was funny when we told each other later what our talks were on. Then we get into sacrament meeting and the opening hymn was We Thank Thee, O God, For a Prophet and the closing hymn was Joseph Smith's First Prayer. Crazy! But in my talk I really focused towards the end about the Book of Mormon and its importance in knowing that Joseph Smith is a true prophet. So then last night Elder Prescott and I went to go teach Ernie and there he was at 8 o clock at night reading the Book of Mormon by himself with a flashlight. haha. It was awesome to see that. I couldn't be happier. Both of them are determined to get an answer that the Book of Mormon is true.Sounds like things went great at the Treadway Trek. Really excited to be there next year with all the girls too! I think its a good idea too to get the women more involved. I mean, we all love camping right? And Big Sur? Awesome! Love Big Sur. The fish stories from the Trek though were hilarious. When you said that Ben's fish was just swimming around I was like, "Ooooooo....He's goin in after it." hahaha. Sure enough. Way to go Ben. You're a champ. And then Brian pullin in the champ! Way to go Boss!
3 months to go baby! Alright. Word on the street is that I'm going to be a trainer this transfer. But whoever I train will know Peter from the MTC so we can chat a bit. I probably won't see him at all though. We'll have to see. I wanna see him before I check outta Cebu. Peace.
