Mr. Worldwide

What's up friends?

 It's been a pretty dope week haha I've been serving as a district leader and we've been really trying to hype up the zone and so we set up a zonewide finding competition and set some super hyped baptismal goal to help stretch us and some other goals to help us along the way and we've all been KILLING it. Us and a set of sisters went whiteboarding where we just ask a simple question on a whiteboard and go around and ask people to write their answers on the board and teach people who show a bit of interest. We got three new investigators and gave out seven Books of Mormon in less than two hours haha and it was just a really fun experience.

Then on a bit of a more sad note we have an investigator in the hospital :( SHe's getting open heart surgery which is scary, but we were able to go visit her and it really brightened her mood haha. 

We also went and visited Bob and Cheryl and had an AWESOME Lesson. We decided to try a bit of technological fanciness and we projected part of the October 2009 general conference onto their 70" flat screen TV and it was a super spiritual experience and we had been praying and planning on trying to recommit them to a baptismal date but the spirit prompted us to wait. Well the next day we were planning and knew we had to be back there so we rolled up in the evening and Cheryl was standing outside and was like "you guys are just in time! I need your help!" and we helped her plant some flowers and work on her garden haha Bob just messed up his back and shes pretty weak haha and we were there for almost 40 minutes just chatting and helping them to know that we genuinely care about them and it worked wonders for them. They're really seeing the blessings of the gospel in their lives, and its awesome. 

Then that evening we decided to try something new. We set a side an hour where we would all be out on the streets as a distrcit. We fasted for breakfast and lunch the day of and prayed to know where God wanted us to be and set a goal to find 3 New Investigators as a distrcit within that hour. Well ELder Measel and I gave out 4 Book of Mormons and found 3 potential people to teach, but then two of the sisters in the district accomplished our district goal and got 3 New Investigators in that hour! It was so cool haha we're all so pumped and really seeing Heavenly Father help us to accomplish our goals. Then I sang a solo musical number in sacrament meeting yesterday and it was super spiritually uplifting and we had this asian lady roll up that we had never met before so I started chatting with her over google translate and her name is Alyce and she wants to get baptized!! We were just like what the heck haha so she'll be in San Franscisco this week but we got in touch with a guy in another stake who speaks mandarin and we're going to have him come translate for a lesson with her. It's going to be really cool haha. 

Then after our 7 hour block of church we were just exhausted so we went and took a quick power nap at our place and then felt kind of bad about it so we prayed and just asked that we could still be made tools and so we went and stopped by this potential investigator and she wasn't home but we met this dude named Bob Terry at the mailbox and he was just like "yo. My family and I have been looking for the right church for my entire life and haven't found it yet" and we were like "well we have the answer!" and we have a lesson with him on thursday. God is working miracles through us and it's really awesome. We also did a wafle breakfast this morning with some other missionaries and it was tight.

So yeah. I love you all. Have an awesome week :)
