Week 13: Elder Bednar came to visit!

OK! This week has been so incredible! We had a special visitor and it was Elder Bednar of the Quorum of the 12!! He gave a 3 hour devotional to us that was so stellar!!! I had never experienced anything like that before! He had so many good things to say and I was moved so much by the Spirit. There are so many things that I would like to work on this week but it is going to take time to get it all done.

This week we had 2 flash flood warnings. One was a little rain storm but the second, we got 4 inches of rain in 2 hours! We got soaked and it was super fun because we were out knocking doors. We thought about going back to the apartment but we ended up just staying out for another hour just knocking because we were already soaked and it made it a lot more fun! 

Just a little down pour!!

We aren't teaching very many people but the ones we are teaching are doing really well and it is so fun to talk to them and help them recognize the light that they can have in their lives. This week we had one of our recent converts come to a lesson with us and JT pretty much taught the whole restoration lesson on his own while he bore testimony through out the whole lesson. He is extremely solid and loves the church so much. We are working with a less active Misty and she has a dog that is a malamute and that dog is giant!!! I love it so much. The dogs name is Pebbles too, it doesn't match but it is the best dog who almost knocked me on my back when it jumped on me. 

I have noticed that I have been looking at the concerns of other people more this week than I have been looking at myself. So I ended up getting hit by a car yesterday and it was actually kind of funny because I wasn't hit hard at all but I got thrown a little bit. My first question I asked her was if she was alright and if the car was fine!!!! hahahahaha. No damage to me at all, it was a tender mercy that I was protected like I was. I tried
teaching her a lesson but she was in tears so it wasn't going well so I got her name and phone number. Good times. I hit a good milestone yesterday today. Hahaha
