Week 56: CRAZY WEEK

Hey e'erbody!
    So we have little time as always, so I am going to try and tell you everything that happened this week.
    We were super blessed this week to get 4 new investigators. We actually got a miracle one off the street- his name is Matfe. He is just the cutest and is searching so much- we are just so glad we found him. We are going to have to pass him off to the Elders though along with our cute little Nigerian, Michael. We also have our cute Ludmilla and Lena who we are just stoked about. It's so good to see all these blessings raining down on us for all the hard work we've been doing this transfer.
    We also met with the cutest less active member this week who is just such a saint and I love her so much. You would not believe everything these people have to go through just to get to church every week. I just had this overwhelming sensation of pure gratitude to see someone at church this week and I realized that we never know what anyone went through before they got to the church meeting so we should never judge! Just always be like Christ and never judge and I think we'll be fine.
    Nothing much else to update on except and awesome zone conference. Still racking in the potential investigators!
    I love all of you! Everyone try your best to be more of a missionary everyday! Keep up the good work!

Week 55: IT'S SUMMER??

Hello and happy Monday everyone!
    I AM SO HAPPY THIS WEEK WITH LOTS OF PLEASANT SURPRISES! WE CAN TALK TO OUR FAMILY OVER PHONE AND VIDEO CALLS on pdays and I am so excited. I love it! Also, the sun has come out and I wish it was to stay, but I doubt it. It is so hot over here! Actually not really, but it feels like spring!!!!!!
    Hopefully this warmth and sunshine will warm up these people's hearts and they will be open to the Gospel. We have been talking to tons of people again this week- I know, what a shock- but honestly, contacting has transformed from something I used to dread doing to something I look forward to. The people we meet have the most amazing stories and those stories would only be better with the gospel! I actually forget how closed off these people are until I meet people from all over the world who are so open.
    We met with Igor and Svetlana again this week and we're hoping that they will feel some urgency to get baptized soon haha-for the love.
    Something really cool is that we have been out of Book of Mormons for as long as I can remember and literally every time we have found one or two we give them out the same day or the next. We finally got our shipment in and we are giving them out like crazy!!! We have a waiting list of people who want one! I'm just so excited for how the work is turning up with the temperature. God is real.
    I apologize for no pictures again- I'll just attach an old one so you don't forget what I look like.

Week 54: 3 weeks of catching up!

Happy Monday everyone!
    These three weeks have been absolutely wild! We have literally been running everywhere for the past week that today we literally just relaxed for the first time in forever.
    We have talked to so many people in these three weeks and I have just realized how much I love these people and this work and how much better life is with the gospel. We have had lots of success with finding people to teach, so now it's time to get down and teach them how their lives can improve. I've also noticed how present Satan is in the Lord's work because he does not want it to progress. As we have worked harder and harder, till we think we can't work any possibly harder and then work harder than that, seeing more success, the adversary has just put more people in our path to disrupt His work. But, we don't let him! Let's just say we have gotten very bold in our contacting and straight up telling people they are wasting our time and telling them to call us when they are ready to listen. Life is a party here. I am literally always laughing with Sister Thompson. I have literally never felt more joy in my life than in the service of our Lord. Everyone go and serve someone this week and I promise you will feel so happy!!

Love you all! Have amazing weeks!
