A sense of urgency

We had a cool week. We invited President to a lesson and he came. (He´s so great at helping each individual.) We started the lesson but then we could tell that President was getting ansy so we looked at him and he said that he was going to talk for a bit. For the next hour and a half he explained everything from Adam and Eve until right now and the spirit was there the whole time.  He teaches like the prophets of old.  It was a great experience to learn from our president.
I contacted one older lady and we went to visit her. Her grandson had just got put in jail for fighting, so she was feeling a bit down. We invited her to church and she said, "yes". The next visit we taught the Restoration and at the end she prayed that her grandson could get out of jail. When she said" amen", the phone rang and they told her that her grandson had been released. Nice! The next time that we went her daughter and son in law and their two kids were there. We read 3 Nephi 11 and the spirit was there. So cool. We explained Jesus' baptism and they all accepted to be baptized next Saturday. All but the dad made it to church. In the lessons, the kids were super into it and all excited to be baptized. It was very cool. 
Well, we contacted over 500 people this week and are trying to have a sense of urgency about the work. It is cool and tiring to be talking every single minute of every day to people about the Book of Mormon. I like it a lot. The church is true. I trust in the revelation of President Tervort. He truly has been called of God to help us as missionaries. I love this work!

The spirit is just sooooooooo cool!!!!


The spirit is just such an amazing companion. It really does lift us up when we need a little boost and it is so worth it to live worthy of it. It blesses my life and the life of all those around me. Heavenly Father really has provided us with everything that we need in order to be happy and help others be happy. IT¨S ALL JUST SOOOOO COOL!!!!!!! Jesus lives and loves us and we can find strength through the sacrifice that He made for us. What great comfort that brings to me. I love you!!!

Successful mistakes


This week we made sure to get 120 contacts.  President Tervort said we should have that many each week, and we’ve never really had much success with contacting, but before we can complain about it we have to do it, right?. We found a couple of people and once, while looking for an address, we went to the wrong door and found a cool lady. I love how sometimes the Lord lets us make successful mistakes.
