Feeling the Prayers...
Definitely felt the prayers this week, because we had a super solid lesson with Bridget on Tuesday! It was good to finally get into contact with her again. Since it had been so long since we met with her we just read the Book of Mormon with her. She had some concerns about why bad things happen to good people, which is always a really tough subject, she was especially fired up about it because of all the shootings in Texas and Vegas and other places. We shared the scripture Alma 60:13 with her and she immediately expressed that she felt a lot better about it! Matt Bradshaw was at the lesson with us. Since he is a RM and doesn't have a job yet and isn't going to school, all he wants to do is go out and work with us, he even went tracting with us on Thursday. I enjoyed it a lot.
Went on two exchanges this week, one with Elder Taylor, who is the same mission age as me, and one with Elder Phillips, who is going home in 8 days. It was a really good experience to go out with Elder Phillips who is a really seasoned missionary. Got a lot of good tips.
It was a homecoming/farewell in our ward this Sunday. Homecoming for Matt Bradshaw and farewell for Lauren Paulson. It was cool because you could really see the difference in someone who had just got back from a mission and someone who is anxious to leave.
Unfortunately we haven't been able to be in contact with shaelee :(
Our Book of Mormon challenge has come to an end, we were able to get out 16 BoMs! Unfortunately our zone didn't reach our goal of 158, we only got 136, but that's okay we still did a lot of good and helped a lot of people come closer to finding the message of the restored gospel!!
Other than that we have just been doing a lot of finding, talking with everyone we can and following up with potentials and working with members!
Love you guys so much!!
