Hey everyone!!!!

Transfers are getting close and it feels like just got here. Its so crazy how time flys!!!!!!! Anyways something that I thought was really cool and I want to share it. Yesterday we were teaching a lesson to our investigators Sis Mary Ester and Sis Elisa. They have been praying about the BOM and Prophet Joseph Smith and they still have received an answer. We were teaching about faith, sincere heart,and real purpose. They thought we were telling them that they were lacking one of these things and it did kinda sound that way and I was trying to fix it by telling them that they do have those things and that maybe they need to wait to receive an answer. Brother Aries jumped in and added some really good things. At the end we all got on our knees and had one of them say a pray and ask if these things were true. Before the pray the people outside were really loud but when we started to pray everything got really quiet and I felt a burning in my chest and everything was really peaceful. After about a few seconds of pondering I told them of the feeling I felt and that I knew with out a doubt that the BOM and Joseph Smith are true! That was the first time that I have ever done a pray like that with our investigators. Than after the lesson it got loud again outside. Another thing I liked about the week was yesterday also. We went on splits with the ward missionaries. Brother Aries and I went to the family we found last week. They were just was nice as they were the first time. They brought chairs when they saw us and they brought out water, juice and snacks. We taught a lesson and they were really receptive again. We are definitely going back to that family!:) My companionship has got a lot better as we talked about thing we can do to be better examples and work together. I have noticed lately that people listen really closely when I shared personal experiences. We taught a less active family and I shared an experience when I didn't want go to church for a little excuse. They really listened and told them that our Father in Heaven will make a way for them to attend church. When I shared I wasn't planning on talking about church but it just came out haha. Well thats all for this week. Until next week.
