The most powerful thing you can do is believe in yourself.
This past week, for our P day we ended up going down to Edmond and playing football and soccer on the UCO practice field. We had exchanges with the district leader on Tuesday so we just stayed the night there. It is fun to do missionary work on the campus because you have so many people around you and they are more willing to listen most of the time.
Back in Cushing, we have been doing a lot of knocking and have had some good opportunities to find people who are actually looking for truth. We have two people who are interested. Inetta, who is a former Jehovah Witness who no longer believes in that but is really curious about us. She had neighbors in Arkansas that were members of the church. They seemed to have planted a seed that has now started to grow 40 years later. We taught her the Plan of Salvation and she was really excited about all of it. "These things just make sense and I thought it should always have worked that way." She told us after it all. Brooke Matteson committed to being baptized in our lesson this past week. She and her mom are going to pray about the day of the baptism and then get back to us on that.
One of the members in our ward got a doe this past week. We visited him when he was butchering it. He ended up giving us the heart to cook. It was really tough and chewy but didn't taste too bad. I never imagined I would eat a deer heart but I guess it is normal for other people.
