#67 - Time to pull out the BIG JACKET!

Shout out to teaching someone while emailing haha. Right now we are talking with a lady named Sharron. We were sitting here emailing and this lady came and sat on the computer next to us! We struck up a conversation and now she is a new investigator! She loves family history and cant wait to take the discussions. We have more knowledge and happiness! I love to tell people that if they are an honest seeker of Christ they will find further light and knowledge of Him as they learn with us. :) The first appointment will be on Wednesday. Woot woot!

Transfers are tomorrow! I will be staying in Franklin!! My comp Elder Morgan will be heading wayyy up north for the winter. He will be in Elkhart! That is where the Amish have carts pulled by their elks! ;) My new companion is Elder Tanner and he is from Gilbert! Shout out because Elder Tanner's family lives in Katie's ward! Our zone will be split as well, which is good and bad. Good because we can get closer with the missionaries, but bad because we wont be in touch with the ones we are losing :/

We had a super good lesson this past week with our investigator Ryan. He is in his 50's and super into the Book of Mormon! We had left him 3 Nephi 11 to read and when we came back he practically recited to us what he read! He is searching for an answer and trying to pay special attention to the promptings of the spirit. To end the lesson the member said the prayer, and as we said amen Ryan jumped into the air beating his chest. "I felt it! I felt it!" He had recognized the Holy Ghost warm his heart while the member prayed for the Spirit to let him know these things were true. It was a tender moment for Ryan, and I am grateful for the power of the Holy Ghost.

Fun Facts:

1. It is freezing! On Friday it was in the 70s and we were loving life, but now it is down in the 20s and 30s and its too cold for me haha.

2. My old mission President Cleveland is announcing for the BYU basketball games I heard!! Oh ya!

3. I have set a goal to stop cracking my knuckles :) 

4. I am pumped for the turkey bowl this week... nuff said

Dad,

Good lesson! i will have to use that lesson, of course without a shocker haha. 

good luck with the advertisement! hopefully it helps get your name out there!

we will be heading to 2 dinners tonight. my comp is getting transferred so we will be saying goodbye to people today. Thursday we will be going to a members friends home for lunch and a less actives home for dinner. the hills, the less actives, are a super nice old couple. in fact they are the stake presidents parents!

the teaching pool is growing. we have a guy named Ryan that we tracted into. he is loving the book of mormon. we will have another lesson with him Wednesday night and hopefully put him on date for baptism. we have Gabe, he is a member referral from brother black. nice guy but not crazy about the gospel, polite but we will see where it goes. he is a music teacher at the college here. and Emily, we tracted into her last week and she is excite to find a new church. there are about 10 other people that we have found lately. president has a goal for missionaries to find 3 new investigators each week. we laugh because if we only find 3 a week that is a bad week! we average 

about 6-8. 

great fast!! i know that you will! keep your eyes open! the person you meet and invite does not have to be someone you are close to! it can be anyone you meet!! Elder Oaks gave a great talk on that this past conference:)
