Week 58

This week has been pretty crazy. We had something called a mission tour. It is when a General Authority comes to the mission and does some training on things that the mission is lacking at. Apparently our mission is doing alright. We just got hammered on working with members
better and utilizing the resources. I took a lot of great notes but I will have to send them next week because of what happened on Fantastic Friday.

We exchanged on Friday, switched companions for 24 hours. I got to spend a whole day with my dream companion, Elder Orullian. We made a goal that day to literally talk to everyone and literally ask everyone, who do you know and it was amazing! We had many teaching appointments and  a few of them were on the fly. We did service for a less-acitve sister, Cutting down a small thicket
of trees. And afterwards we asked who she knew and she gave us he name address and number of her acquaintance. We were off to a good start.  Then we went out and did some street contacting in an apartment complex. We contacted 3 individuals we had never met prior to that day and added them as investigators! How sweet is the work. And to top off the day we had a wonderful lesson with one of Elder Orullian's most progressing investigators and remembered to ask them who they know right after we left the door and were walking down the driveway. As soon as it came to our recollection we turned around and knocked on the door again to ask. They did not have anyone for us that day but the Elders Quorum president noticed our diligence and was expecting it when we asked him he knew. He said not yet but soon. It was exhilarating. We were exactly obedient in those two principals that day and we saw many miracles come of it. That was the highlight of my week. But living the missionary life is the best life.

Love you all!
