Happy Monday!! Hope you all had a great week! My week was very exciting and a lot of new stuff is happening!
To start off with a spiritual thought I found a scripture in my personal study that is awesome! It's been a great one to share with members encouraging them to share the gospel and it's a great missionary scripture as well. It's 1 Nephi 13:37 -
This week we found an awesome investigator! She was raised without a religion but now she is really wanting to learn about Christ and she wants to become religious. She started off by going to a Christian church and then she heard about Mormon missionaries and how we come and talk to people about Christ and she was super excited! So she went to Mormon.org and requested a Book of Mormon and for the missionaries to come by! So that's how we found her! We went over and taught about the restoration and she loved it! The entire time she was saying she was super excited about what she was hearing and that she just felt really happy! We are meeting with her again this week and doing a tour of the church building!
On Thursday me and Elder Burns got to do a really fun service project! In the morning a member called us and said he needed help "moving stuff." So we were all for it and went over in the afternoon to help him out. When we got there we found out it was less moving stuff and more getting rid of bed bugs!! Hopefully we didn't take any home with us... eeek! It was crazy the members house was filled with these nasty bugs so we helped them move all of their mattresses and box springs out into their backyard and then we burned everything. Somehow the cops weren't called on us even though there was a ton of smoke!

"And blessed are they who shall seek to bring forth my Zion at that day, for they shall have the gift and the power of the Holy Ghost; and if they endure unto the end they shall be lifted up at the last day, and shall be saved in the everlasting kingdom of the Lamb; and whoso shall publish peace, yea, tidings of great joy, how beautiful upon the mountains shall they be."

Tomorrow I will have been here a whole transfer I can't believe it! Yesterday I had transfer calls and I'm getting transfered!... well kinda. Me and my companion are staying together and we will still be in the same ward but we are moving to a new apartment. They cut our area in half so now there will be two sets of missionaries in our ward. We are moving to a new apartment that is still in our ward boundaries but now we only cover half the ward. We are also losing our car and now I'm either going to be walking or on a bike which I think will be fun!
Have a great week!
