Hey Yall,

This week was so much better than last week. We got 2 new investigators who are really interested in the gospel! We also taught a ton of lessons and we got a referral from someone in Georgia? I know that's weird but we visited with the lady and she was so curious and she's comin to church next week! We got fed so much this week its hard to keep it all off haha. Me and Elder Staheli made a goal this week to lose 5 pounds! We'll see how that goes... 
This week its supposed to snow on Thursday and Friday! Crazy! The weather here is so bipolar and it is so random. Today its in the 70s and tomorrow its supposed to be in the low 40s! Oh well. We'll see how ridin bikes in the snow goes haha.
But on a more serious note, there has been a big focus on faith in the mission. As it says in Alma 32:26-27, faith is not to have a perfect knowledge but just to believe. And if you can just exercise a particle of faith and have no more than a desire to believe then let this desire work in you until you do believe. But as part of that we must act. We must show that we have a desire to grow our faith. In verse 42 and 43 it says If we nourish and exercise it we will reap the rewards and enjoy the fruits of our faith. Such simple yet powerful words from Alma! 
I hope ya'll have had the chance to take missionary moments and open your mouths! But most importantly, know that the example of your actions speak louder than anything you can say. 
My time is fixin to run out so I hope all ya'll have a fantastic week and I'll talk to ya'll again next week!

  1. I needed those words from Alma, Elder. Thanks so much! I cut and pasted to my Facebook page. I hope that was okay. It has been cold here, too, and snowed 2 feet over the last 5 days. I have had pneumonia, and fighting spirit robbers, so I will reread the Alma quote often! Colleen
