This week has been super long. We have been working with Paul a lot this week, he is on dunk date for the 28th of March. Paul is super addicted to smoking though, but we have given him our all and he has really made a good turn around. We picked up another former investigator, her name is Tammie. She was raised Baptist, she said that her only hang up was the priesthood, and her daughter not understanding our religion. But! We met with her and helped her understand the role of the priesthood and exactly how it came to be. She really seemed to understand it and liked the feelings that she had, she believes the Book of Mormon is true, she is just waiting for God to tell her that she needs to be baptized again, this seems to be a common problem with people out here, they just expect the Lord to confirm it, but they never ask the simple question: "is it true?" (you can't know if you don't ask). We helped her a lot and I really think she is going to make it. She gave the closing prayer and it was a special moment, she said that she really likes our church and she asked for help to know if it's true or not.
Yesterday we got super stomped with snow! They canceled church! I was super sad because I really wanted to take the sacrament, I was looking forward to it. I never realized the importance it makes in my life until that moment. I decided to pray, and ask God if he would help us get to a ward that isn't closed somehow...The zone leaders called like 5 minutes later and asked if we wanted to go to the Olathe Ward. I had never experienced a prayer being answered that fast in my life. I grew a bigger testimony of prayer, and an even bigger testimony of the sacrament. That is why we attend church. OH! And when we were leaving for church the sliding door didn't shut all the way, so when we got home we were kind of kicking back and then this random bird flies out of Elder Dastrups closet....it was super legit! It tried to fly out the screen door but faced itself on the glass (probably has exceedingly great brain damage), we thought we killed it but it started flying around the apartment like mad....seriously....we actually thought about putting it on a leash and keeping it as a pet...but we let it fly out the door instead.
We got approved for I-pads coming May 7th. Super pumped for that, it is going to help with finding people to teach!
That's all that really happened this week, I feel close to the Lord every day.
Hope all is Well.
We got hammered this week...Lots of Snow and cold.
That's what missionary work is all about. And whenever I am tempted to give myself a rest after finishing some hard task in his service, and my body begs for rest. I just cry out "Remember him" The Savior is the perfect example of this. His labors in mortality were finished...but he entered the spirit world determined to finish his glorious work of saving souls....
