Hellerrr how are din? (As we say in the GKLM)

This week was bombin!

So. Incredibly. Busy. I feel like we ran around like chickens every day this week! 

We have been meeting with this very sweet lady who reminds me of the jail keeper's daughter on Wind in the Willows ha! She has a two year old son who rules the house. His hair curly and shoulder length. Halfway through our lesson she grabbed him with a hair-tie in hand and he violently tried to squirm away from her. After a struggle (in which he somehow pulled her onto the ground and started giggling like crazy), he emerged with a tiny little man bun. We died.

So yeah. We decided lessons via FB messenger are the most effective way to teach her.;)

Before Christmas, we stopped by this young family in our ward and they told us about their next door neighbor who they've been sharing the gospel with. They've been out of town for the past few weeks, so this week we decided to stop by them again. As we were driving over, the wife called us to tell us about their neighbor. We started laughing and said we were like two minutes away from her house. When we got there, they told us how they had their neighbor over for FHE and he LOVED it! He requested to come to another and this time to please invite the sister missionaries. We're having FHE with them tonight! 

This week I've been thinking a lot about what it means to be a messenger. We watched Elder and Sister Bednar's Face to Face event they did a few months ago he told about his experience as an Apostale. He often finds himself in a very specific area in the world for the purpose of delivering a very specific message to a very specific person. That's what we are as missionaries. Many people are operating under the most knowledge and light they have now and are waiting, searching for more. When they see us, they won't see us as "two young adults who want me to be Mormon," but as two representatives of the Savior with a very important message from Him. 

God has given me a lot of hope lately. I feel very strongly that the past seven months or so of 'drought' are going to be over soon. 

Love you all!
