Well folks this is going to be my last week
as a missionary and so far so good, I haven't had a break down yet! So thank
you for your prayers, because that is a miracle haha
Tuesday we were able to meet with J. finally.
Remember her from forever ago? It's been a while. We went through the Plan of
Salvation with her and L. It was pretty eye opening to see that she really has
no desire to act on the things that we learn. She is so sweet and kind but it
going to stick with Catholicism. We used a visual aid that spelled out LOVE
with the different points of the lesson and she showed us that her beliefs are
similar but a little different. We are going to give her more opportunities to
feel the spirit and we pray that over time she will open her heart a little
more.
That evening we went tracting!! We got
straight "No's" but they were nice No's. Oh but one young man
accepted a copy of the Book of Mormon so that was exciting.
After passing out that one we had
fire to pass put more!! So Wednesday morning we decided we would see how many
copies of the Book of Mormon we could pass out though our car window!! It was
quite the experience. We passed out 5 through the window in one day!!! We
passed out one more that night to some guys playing ping pong! So 6/8 people
accepted a copy!!! It was SO awesome!! So now when we drive around we keep a
copy in our lap in case we see someone we can give it too. A member told us
later that Brigham Young said something like, every Book of Mormon leads to
baptism!! I'll probably never see the results from this, but God will.
Thursday was our half mission conference in
Lincoln! We talked all about finding and having the faith to find!! Finding is
the struggle but it is also AMAZING!! I left all my notes at home sorry, but I
gave my departing testimony and that was weird. It was amazing to see some many
people who made an impact on me and who I have become! The mission has changed
me...well Christ has changed me! I am forever grateful for my mission.
Friday we weekly planned in the sunshine and I got a nice
missionary tan line now yay

On Saturday Brother Pettey
invited us and a few other companions to come over for lunch and a little
Devotional. He showed us the video "Seek the higher ground." He
talked about how we've been on high ground, we are disciples of Christ doing
His work full time. He encouraged us to continue to "seek the high
ground" through the righteous habits that we have developed while we've
been out. It does little good to learn all these things and then not apply them
when we go back to "the real world." Once a missionary, always a
missionary.
On Sunday we went to go see the
Darsts (That amazing referral from the Dougan's)! Well long story short, they
aren't interested anymore 
that was hard to hear. A Sister in Zone
conference spoke about how sometimes we are the ones to prepare them, not to
teach them and reminded us that no matter how "golden" people seem,
they have their agency. Sometimes agency stinks...hahah jk agency is awesome. I
pray that one day they will have the faith and desire to come to know their
Savior even more!
