Last Floor On The Last Door


Hello Everyone! This week has been a super cold week! With the humidity and wind chill, it definitely feels like winter over here!
This whole week has just flown by, but here are some highlights of the week.  We had Zone Conference! We didn't meet up with another Zone for this one, so it was just our Zone with the Mission President and his assistants. There was a big emphasis on the sacrament and why it's so important to be partaking of this ordinance every week, as well as getting our investigators to church.
We had a super cool miracle this week, as well! So, a few days ago, we were trying to visit a former investigator that other missionaries had taught awhile back. We had their apartment building address, but not their apartment number.  We started knocking on every door to try and find this person and ended up getting to the last floor on the last door. (Nobody answered any of the doors, by the way). Right as we were about to knock on the final door, we heard someone coming up the steps and it turned out to be them! It was so cool to see how the Lord was able to put us in this person's path. The crazy part about it is that they moved a few months earlier and were there just visiting a friend! I know that even though everything may not work out how we want it too, it works out in the Lord’s way. I hope you are staying warm and have a good week!
A service project we ended up doing in the middle of the week.
A member had a fire truck that they wanted us to put together
for her son's birthday.  It was a beast and took forever to finish!  But, it was fun!

"You Are True Men Of God!"


Hello Everyone! This week was a crazy week! Being a Zone Leader now, I have a lot more meetings that I have to go too. One them is a Missionary Leadership Council. This is a meeting where all the Zone Leaders and Sister Training Leaders get together with our Mission President and his wife to go over concerns and needs for the mission. It was awesome! I loved it! It's so neat see all the care that goes into running the mission! I also saw an old companion, as well.
This week was another miracle filled week! We got a referral from the missionaries serving in Baltimore City for this guy, John Moore. We stopped by to see him this week and he was super interested! He loved the lesson and even said, "You are true men of God!" It was so cool! It's been really neat to see all of the prepared people that are being put in our path. I have really been able to see the love that Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father have for us. We may fall short, but His loving arm is always outstretched towards us, ready for when we make even the slightest change towards Him. I know the power of real repentance and the difference it makes in the lives of those that use it. I hope you have a great week!
