Hey y'all!
 We had an interesting week this past week. It started off really great, and then didn't seem to end very well. Thursday was a very successful day having taught 9 lessons, and extending 3 Baptismal Invites with dates. That was followed by 3 days of not being in contact with a lot of our investigators. We kept being prompted to visit certain investigators but none of the plans seemed to pan out. It seemed like it was one of those experiences of "God testing our Faith, Patience, and Diligence." Things with Darris have really slowed down. We haven't been able to see him in awhile. It is looking like we are going to have to put him on pause. Since he isn't keeping his commitments. We had a really great lesson with Catina this week. What's interesting with her is that she seems to keep getting stuck on sub-topics of the Plan of Salvation. It is all very unfamiliar to her but she keeps studying, and praying about it. She seems to really be changing. Her desire to be Baptized and come to church is rapidly increasing.

We had an interesting experience with Ms. Church this week. She had lots of questions for us. We answered them to the best of our ability. I can testify of God willing to put words in our mouths if we just open them. He definitely filled my mouth with the words to say as I tried to answer her. She asked the golden question. She asked, "If you could get others to understand one thing about your church that would 'hook them' what would that be?" Sister Ives answered with, "The Priesthood." What was interesting is that as she said that the spirit was powerful. You could see the wheels turning in Ms. Churches' mind as she reflected upon what was said.

 This week we knocked into the Fisher family. He is a minister, and she is going to be a pastor or preacher. Mrs. Fisher got mad at her husband because he wouldn't let us talk. She said that she wanted to hear what we had to say because she could tell that we had "a word" in us. So I immediately jumped on the chance to talk and testified of the Book of Mormon. We are going back this week to give them a Book of Mormon. Since she is really interested in reading it. In fact, she ordered one over telephone 3 years ago when she was going through Cancer. But for some reason she never received one. God works in very mysterious ways.

I learned a lot from my studies this week. I read pgs. 55-66 in the White Handbook on leadership. I learned that leaders are to help others set goals, and make plans on how they can be better missionaries. I learned that leaders need to be great examples so that they can inspire others to be better. As leaders live the gospel they become more Christ-like. Which results in others seeing the potential of who they can become.

May we all be leaders, and show the world who Christ is. We can all emulate Christ as we develop Christ-like attributes, and strive to fully represent him at all times.

 Love y'all!
