Week 55

Hey everyone!

This week was a good week and really funny! It started out with both of us getting sick though and we felt like we got hit by trucks. But we made it though! 

On Wednesday we were doing our personal study and randomly checked our phone. We were under tornado warning and a tornado had touched down about 15 miles from where we live! So that was nutty! There were 4 tornadoes on Wednesday in the Hburg area! So that was crazy!! Sis hunt had bever been in a tornado warning.. we ended up hiding in the tub haha it was so funny!

Thursday we went tracting and this man was so anti it was funny and we turned around and his lamp fell over and shattered... he looked at us like we had devil powers.. it  was pretty funny actually we were trying really hard not to laugh.

Saturday we tracted all day long and around 4 we headed into the city for a dinner appointment/ to visit some members. Well we went to a members donut shop and and they werent there but we both felt like we were about to fall asleep because we had taken some nyquil the night prior.. and yeah that stuff is strong.. well anyway we decided that we would take a quick 5 minute power nap. And a member came and knocked on out window and scared us so bad! It was so funny. But then we went to our dinner appointment and had Filipino food! Sis hunt was in paradise (she is half Filipino) 

Sunday was a struggle! We had to be at the church at 7 and we live 30 minutes away from it. But we made it on time! We also had an awesome appointment after churh with the Trussll's ! They are one of the most amazing families I have ever met! They are really missionary oriented. They have 2 kids out on missions- I actually met one of them in the MTC- And at dinner they brought the cutest lady and we had a really good lesson on the Book of Mormon and then after our lesson she told us she wanted us to come and read with her weekly and wanted to learn more about it. So that was amazing! And Then we had some other appointments with a lot of people that have a lot of potential! It was a good week! A kid bore his testimony about his mom and said " she is like the spirit, but louder!" It was funny but I sat there and thought about how true it was. Mom really is like the spirit but louder.. ha! Thanks for that mom! Sometimes I need to be told in more than just a whisper.

Last night was fun as well! We got invited over to the Duff's home for dinner. It was really fancy for labor day but hey I'm not complaining! It was also one of the most spiritual lessons I have had on my mission. The spirit was so strong there. We talked about sacrifice and that led into us bearing our testimonies and we had a mini testimony meeting with everyone there. And everyone participated. It was really amazing. It is so cool how much the spirit can work on people and how present it can be when you are talking about Christ.

I know that this church is true and that is is Christ's church once again on the earth today. I am so thankful for my testimony. I know that without it I would be lost. But with it I can have joy. And that is a pretty amazing thing to know. That even in our hardest and darkest times, we can still feel joy.

I know that the Book Of Mormon is the word of God and it is the truest book we have on this earth. I challenge anyone that hasn't read it to read it and pray about it and find out for themselves if it is true or not. 

I hope you all have a blessed week!

Much love,
