#81 -The good life

Dad, nearest companionship is only about 30 minutes away, in south bend! we are having a chill p-day. eating lunch with our catholic mormon friend, haircut, and shooting a hoop or two. fun skiing hopefully!

wow that is soooo warm!! we woke up today with a bunch of snow on the ground!! shocker!

ya i agree! that is a good thing to do. when i was in martinsville, elder quick and clark (they are both great missionaries, and zls) never had read the bom so in one week they both read it! haha it was a fun week! i drove and they read! that is a good idea to make sure they all have read it.

scripture study is one of the first steps to revelation! we had an mlc with brother donaldson this week. he was the mission president when the district 2 came out. he is powerful! he taught us that any concern our investigators have can be solved with book of mormon study! it is true! if you will study it every day you will find that your questions/problems will be resolved. 

love you too! have a great week!

This week has been pretty crazy. We had a meeting down in Indianapolis, and we went on exchanges Tuesday and Friday. So in all, I was only in the area for just under 2 days this week. That being said, with the time we had we had some very good lessons! 

Samantha is doing great! She loves the Book of Mormon and attending church! Rodney is struggling with an idea of prophets, but that isnt stopping him from learning and praying! If he will continue to study and pray he will find his answer:) Joey is still recovering from falling on a floor joist, doctors say it will be at least a 6 week recovery... Poor guy!

We learned a TON from our meeting. Brother Donaldson from the missionary department was visiting, and we talked a lot about the direction that missionary work was headed. Long story short, it's all heading towards social media. We may get iPads in the near future, but they've been telling me that for the last 20 months, so I'm not holding my breath! Leaving that meeting I had an overall impression that we are led by inspiration! He taught with power and authority. The mission is going a great direction! And good news, we dont have to do exchange reports anymore:)

Fun Facts
