This letter is just a random order of events that happened this week.
The park!
"I love to go to the par-ark" (is that sacrilegious? 
)
I finally convinced a companion to leave the appartment for morning excercises and i go fun about 8 laps everyday at the park while he plays basket ball and i have never felt better... i love the park...
Elder jones is a good sport for putting up with me lol
On tuesday morning we got a call... we are the lucky winners of a brand new 2018 rouge.... i didnt know cars with less then a hundred miles on them existed and i am assigned designated driver... this is most deffinately a once in a life time oppertunity for me... you could say im living a little bit of the good life out here in kentucky right now.... :)
Hospital
We had to rush to the hospital on tuesday, elder jones.... got a text asking us to go give a blessing to a sister in the highland Hieghts ward a blessing, it was really sweet the sister we were gonna give the blessing to was carted away for testing right as we showed up so, her catholic sister aggie entertained us for ten minuets then when she could think of nothing else to distract us with she asked us all the gospel questions she hadnt asked over the 60 years her sister has been a member. We basically taught her the restoeation and she is now gonna feed the highland hieghts elders twice in the coming month it was sweet.
Its kind of funny that if people just talk to a missionarie long enough then god opens there hearts to the message of the restoration. When sister gay(the member) was wheeled back into the room for us to chat aggie left and we told sister gay how she is gonna start taking the lessons, she almost had a hard attack saying that she never thought she would ever hear those words. It made me smile really big.... but despite my pride it was really god who prepared hernfor the special lesson and im just glad i was able to be apart of it.
Bro daRosa (da row sa)
He is the best... his wife went on vacation, so what does an emoty nester do when his wifes out of town? Of course he goes and spends his night with the missionaries. He is an amazing guy not only did he buy us ice cream but he went contacting with us and every person he talks to feels as if they are his focus, As if they are all that matters to him. Its a really cool thing to just feel the environment as he conects to them so easily. It was a really amazing.
Those experience through me into a stupper of thought that night. I woke up and decided to listen to general conference talks and i finnaly was led out of my box of confusion.
In one talk one of the apostles(i think, it could of been president nelson himself but not sure...) descirbed president nelson, that when he was younger he would look to the prophet his bishop and many others and not mquestion them but ask how can i be like them.
So i thought about who has impacted my life, led me guided me. And i came to a conconclusion, its the book of mormon,
I have no doubt in my mind that the majority of them are reading the book of Mormon daily, so it gave me a new insparation and desire to read it again.
Steven scotty and kattie
We had a sweet miracle, so we got a list from the bishop of less actives or people they just dont know where they are so go find out if they they live in these sudjested spots. Well we are walking over to the carters but feel we shouls go to a different member first, we talked to this guy at while we were walking and he was supper polight but said he would call us if he was interested... and we depart... and hour later we make it to the carters... and they moved... that guy was scottys house... he said he wanted to call us but that the pen smeared but he watched the videos and showed stenen and kattie the videos and they had a lost of questions for us. Then we just happen to show up (kattie and steven are married and then scotty is katties little vrother) after answering a ton of questions( it was sweet, i love questions!) We taught one of the most powerful restoeation lessons i have had in a long time. We asked when we could come back for a future lesson and steven said right now... he just ate up everything we said saying he finnally feela he has found somthing he has felt he has been missing.. i am so excited to woek with them. But were only teach them on saturday because thats the only time we can meet with all of them
Bus contact
We had a sweet contact... one lady just stared at us for 20 minuets we said hi, but she just stared for ten more minuets... then she asked us who we are and all a sudden we have 9 new potentials because me and elder jones are separated answereing everyone on the buses questions it was crazy. But so much fun.
Jo logen and their son at church
We were disappointed because everyone was out of town so no one was gonna be coming to chuch this sunday... and then it happens
10 minuets before church logen calls us saying we canceled the vaction and are coming ro church right now whats the adress again? We just kneeled and prayed in gratitude for the blessing from on high.... when they were at church they both cried and we knew thst this is what they were looking for...
And the members surounded them i am so excited for them.
