his last week has been crazy, i have just been praying to never have to send an email again with so much negativity and wow my prayers go answered!
On Thursday we went on an exchange with elder lomax(District leader) and Elder smith, well i was with elder smith blitzing the Lancaster area and wow did we have a good day, we set goals to find two new investigators pet 10 dogs, and put one person working twoards a baptizimal date.... well at the begging of the day we knelt togeather and prayed promising God that we would talk with everyone we saw, and it was crazy we found 7 new investigators and made so many peoples day by yelling complaments at them it was amazing, one thing i really am going to try and apply for the rest of my life is never miss an oppertunity to lift some one, that person was placed on your path by God so even if its just hey i love your hat when your driving ny with the windows down dont miss thst oppertunity, .... more detailed list of our day:
Guy at Panera.... we were waiting in line at penera so we just start talking hiking to this one guy and 4 minuets latter he agrees to meet with missionaries over in new york!
Crystal... guy and girl in town with a bike... chapel tour: she was one of the areas potentials well ms and elder smih didnt know that so we steeet contacted her and taught her the restoration on the spot, and invited her to be baptized, she said yes but its gonna be hsrd for her to go because she doesnt know anyone, so we set up a chapel tour and ahe came, and we had a bunch of members come to meet her it was sweet.
Amish lady... we knocked her car.... i had tho s nagging feeling walking by a car that we promised God that we would talk to everyone... so now i knock cars! Lol she was a sweet lady parked waiting for her husband! She converted amish because they helped her when she had her first child... we offered service and she accepted, those elders will be by latter this week!
Blaxk guy we gave a card too in his car at a stop light...
Yelling at people when driving... we gave put like 20 cards to the people we stopped next to at stop lights, it was so awkward but so much fun, we even got a guy (who was walking by to run over and talk to us!
Tamara. She was a bible refferal, we go over and she goes on and on about how greatful she is for the bible because her other one was destroyed, and she has another but wobt mark it because it was her dead brothers, well the spirit hit me strong and i looked her in the eyes and almost crying asked her if i could tell you where your brother is... that was probably my spiritual lesson on my mission so far... after teaching her about the spirit world we show her how we learned about it from alma in the book of mormon, znd we teach her the book of mormon and invite her to pray about it.... she stops us stares me in the eye and says i dont need to. From they joy and feeling i have right now, i already know its true! I cant wait for her baptism!
Alexa(18-30)! Three people invited her to church that .... she was supper prepared for us , she has a fourteen month old.... lives with ex boyfriend to take care of kids. She said i really think god is telling me to go to church, your the forth people to invite me, my only problem was i never felt like going to any of them but what you have explained to me sounds really good! She was just so very prepared for us.

There were a lot of other people, but i probably talk to much, we were really just spoon fed answers to our prayers this week.
We had a zone activity today and about 7 times an elder or sister would loose there green magnet to there nametag in this huge field. A lot of us would gather togeather and bow our heads, and just pray togeather asking to help us find it. There is not one time thst God didnt answer our prayer and show us where it was. I PROMISE YOU IT IS THE SAME WAY FOR YOU, if you pray willing to act he will always answer our plea for guidence.
I got to go on an exchange with the Zone leaders, blitzing athens i was with elder Brumfield, we set goals to talk with everyone pet ten dogs and bbe positive, it was an amazing day, he really taught me the value of memorizing scriptures,
There was one guy a minister for another church, we ran him in so many circles and then pleaned with him that his church wasnt true and he looked us in the eye and said i will see you on Sunday! In all things be bold but loving!
We talked to everyone it was so much fun! We found two new investigators that day!
We lrayed asking to find someone to baptize for the past week and a half well God finally thought we were ready to recieve thst answer, we are walking getting antied left and right and then elder Norris feels we should walk to opisite direction, of course we go and out of the corner of his eye we see alesha! She is a nurse aid who has been praying for a sign from god to tell her which church to go to where she can be accepted no matter what her past might be. I am so excited to teach her! She is so awesome, more about her next week.
