This was the fastest paced week I have had on my mission so far. We set a huge goal as a Zone to find 34 New people to teach from Tuesday to Wednesday (8 days). The Zone is just exploding! We are already at 31 as of last night and we still have 3 days.
We have been gone a lot this week, we were down in Billings and went on exchanges with the Assistants and to go to the temple, then we went to Lewistown the next day and went on exchanges with the Elders there. We are so blessed to have such great missionaries in our mission!
Then the next day we got back into our are in the late afternoon and had an investigator accept to be baptized on Aug 26. Then we had a booth at the famers market and woke up at 430 didn't have time to eat or study and were quite literally out teaching from 530am to 9pm. Haha then we got locked in this random property way up in the Highwood mountains for about an hour with no cell service, and no way to get out with the car and the nearest member was an hour away haha that's Montana life.
"Our Fellow Beings"
"If you are struggling, confused, or spiritually lost, I urge you to do the one thing I know will get you back on track. Begin again to prayerfully study the Book of Mormon and live its teachings every day, every day, every day! I testify of the profound power in the Book of Mormon that will change your life and strengthen your resolve to follow Christ. The Holy Ghost will change your heart and help you see “things as they really are.” He will show you what you need to do next."
Life is hard, but we are not alone. We are blessed with friends and family all around us to continue on the right path. Sometimes we need to get hit in the head with a 2x4 before we realize what is right and true haha. Our Father loves us, he has given us the Book of Mormon and fellow saints to help us along. I love each of you who read this, I pray for you, and I hope each of you can feel the love of God in your hearts as I have felt it.
