AN EXCITING, HARD, AND FUN WEEK!

Alright - so this week was exciting, hard, and fun. 

First the exciting news. Abby is still on track for baptism and I wish Feb. 25th would come faster! This Saturday Sister H., Abby, and us went up to Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park to see if it would work for her baptism. It should work out great other than the fact that it is so cold!! She walked out into the water about knee deep while we were there and she still wants to do it. We are going to set up a big wall tent with a wood stove in a campground near the lake and do everything there I believe. She hasn't decided who is going to baptize her yet because transfers are on the 18th this month and Elder McKee and I might not even be here! :(

I will be so sad if I get transfered! 

Other good news we had an awesome lesson with J. who is Bro. W's girlfriend. We invited her to church and she wants to come! So we will see what happens. (We removed some of this part of the letter due to privacy issues)

Now the hard stuff. First off I have noticed I'm not a very patient person so this week I prayed everyday for the oppurtunity to work on my patience and man did the Lord provide! haha I had lots of times to work on patience  this week.  With me and the comp not getting along sometimes, I was grateful that we could work it out for the most part through me and him trying to be patient with each other. Because when we disagree you can just tell our days are not as good as they should be. I also had many other opportunities to show patience.

We saw J. and S. this week. Everytime I get out of a lesson with them I feel like they are not going anywhere but they always say how much we help and they like having us over. This week we are going to have a lesson and set some commitments with them. (We removed some of this part of the letter due to privacy issues)

  

Now for the fun. This Tuesday we had a great district meeting. Afterwards we had to take the Eureka elders back to Eureka since they dont have driving privlages. So we took a district road trip. We all went up to Eureka and had lunch at a place called Vons. They have some awesome burgers and it was nice to eat something other than ramen or spaghettios. It was a bunch of fun and we got to know each other a lot better.

I hope this week we can find at least one new investigator and have another investigator on date but we will see. 

Okay here's a scripture for this week - Alma 36:3 

And now, O my son Helaman, behold, thou art in thy youth, and therefore, I beseech of thee that thou wilt hear my words and learn of me; for I do know that whosoever shall put their ^atrust in God shall be supported in their ^btrials, and their troubles, and their afflictions, and shall be ^clifted up at the last day.

This is one of my favorite scriptures and it helped me through out this week as I was going through my little trial of learning patience. I love you all so much and hope you have an awesome week.
