AS NORMAL AS IT GETS...

Hey - this week was as normal as it gets! 

We continue to teach J., S., and Abby. J. is progressing really well and is heading towards baptism. She is currently working on something that needs to be resolved but I know she can overcome it if she remembers what we have taught her and if she turns to the Lord in prayer. Abby had her baptism interview yesterday after church. Everything went great! We are going over on Saturday to fill out some paper work and get the baptism all planned out! I am so excited for her! 

On Friday we had our Zone Leader Training. Which is where the whole zone meets for a day and gets trained by the zone leaders. President Mecham also came up for this and interviewed each missionary! My interview went well. In it President Mecham told me he is going to ask me to do some hard things in the future and he wanted to know if I would be up to it. I told him I would, more out of fear of telling him no :) But now I have been so nervous this whole week!! I know that President Mecham is called of God though, and that whatever he asks me to do, God knows that I can do it just like it says in 1st Nephi 3:7.

1st Nephi 3:7 can be found in the Book of Mormon and it says -  And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I ^awill go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no ^bcommandments unto the children of men, save he shall ^cprepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.

Other than that this week was a lot of dissapointments - no one was home and if they were they were sick! Which by the way, I finally got sick! :(  Elder McKee was sick for about 4 days and then I was sick for 4 days! It sucked, but we stuck it out and kept on keeping on!

I'm not sure whether I am getting transfered or not. I really hope I stay here! 

Now to anwer your questions:

 

Are you keeping busy with appointments? For the most part! We dont have very many planned appointments though :(

Do you have enough to eat? More than enough I'm pretty sure I have gained 10 pounds! :o

It looks like the weather has been a little warmer for you lately. It has which is awesome! It was in th high 30s/low40s and the son even has been out! Although I think it is starting to cool down again.

Are you keeping your shoes shined and protected? for the most part

Are you switching out your pants and shirts so that they wear evenly? Yup

Well I have to write a lot of emails to other people and also email President. 

I love you guys a bunch!
