Bro...so good!

Another good week here in Michigan! I freaking love this area and the investigators and THE SPIRIT!!
Anywho started out the week with a great p-day. Got to teach the B kids who are getting baptized on the 11th.  They are so cute and gave us little bracelets!! I love teaching them.  There is a reason we are told to become childlike.... also they called us pretty so that's nice!
Tuesday we door knocked for a while... but we also taught a cool guy named skip! He has the cutest son who survived a car wreck and has some brain damage but he is so cute and I think he thinks us missionaries are pretty cool.  Skip is cool though he has a lot of real intent and feels like there is just more out there for him. 
Wednesday we had a zone training and the mission schedule is changed... It is a lot more flexible now so that is nice! We also taught R and she is just amazing.  The spirit is always so strong in her lessons.
Thursday we saw B and she finally asked God for Strength and she saw a difference in her self.  It is so great to see her beginning to see that God wants to hear from her.  It is a slow process but this is a big step!  We also saw T and P... two investigators that are struggling to progress but our zone training was on setting expectations so we worked on that with them... hopefully it helps.  We also picked up a cool new investigator named C! He isn't sure if he believes in God but he wants to know.... my mission goal has been to help someone believe in God so lets hope he's it!
Friday we did service at the library which was good but I was feeling super unproductive because we hadn't talked to anyone about the gospel and just as we were walking home we got to talk to these 2 teenagers and one was really interested.  He said it was a great thing that we are doing! So the Holland sisters are going to start teaching him. Then we had dinner with a family from Utah and they made CAFE RIO!! Bro... so good! They are one of my favorite families.... but there is so many good ones out here!! Then we drove to Wyoming for trade-offs.
Saturday..... so guess who I got to go on trade-offs with..... that's right my good friend from the MTC SISTER MATHIS!!!!! We had a blast it was so good to catch up with her! Her and I just laugh together.... also we were door knocking and we talked to this kid about how the gospel can bring him happiness and he said "I don't need happiness I have weed"  And she said "even more happiness than weed!!"  It was just hilarious.  Then when we got back to our area we taught Rita and the spirit was SO STRONG! They talked about how much we helped in her conversion which is great because I feel like I did nothing... because it is all the spirit! Also we planned out her baptism and everything is going so great!
Sunday we had church, a former investigator showed up so we picked her up again.  She is really cool in her 20's.  We also got to teach the B kids again and they are just so cute!!
Anywho life is so good! I love this Gospel if you didn't already know.
fun fact:  I think the reason Sister Mathis got called to Wyoming is so we could have our mission long prayers of serving together answered.....even if it just was for a day.
