Hey ya'll! May 19, 2014


So things have been really crazy here. Sorry no email last week. I didn't get to email because my companion was sick :(

Anyway! Great experiences the last couple weeks!

One is our investigator Gary. Not sure if you have heard of him. We met him and gave him a restoration pamphlet and we come back to teach him and his first question is "Can i have a copy of the Book of Mormon?" Oh man! He just wanted to read it!

We also have Archie from inercity milwaukee. He is pretty legit. His father, a preacher taught him many of our standards. No swearing. Chastity. and such. We met him at Culvers Frozen Custard one day and that's where we taught him the next time! Miracles in Culvers. He brought his friend Derell too. Oh man, they have such faith!

Kettle has really blown up the last couple of weeks. We have a pretty big teaching pool which is amazing. So nice to be busy with so many appts! Also hard to handle everything because there is never enough time. I like this :)

Started a slimfast smoothie diet with my comps this week. We will eat that and only that except for when members feed us because we can't control that. Oh yeah!

Went to the temple this last friday. What an amazing experience this was! Might've been one of the best. As a missionary its such a unique opportunity and I was blessed to be in an area within distance. Beautiful chicago! 

Last night funny experience. Our new friend/neighbor downstairs is named Lindsay (another one for ya) and we say hi and wave whenever we pass her outside. Well, she knocked on our door last night at like 8:30 with a bottle of wine in hand. Asked us if we wanted to join her drinking wine! Umm.....no thanks! But she was so confused about why we didn't and was very persistent. We joined her with our WATER  and then with her friend jenny we talked about who we are, why we dont' drink, and about our missions. Next time we will teach them the restoration! 

Have a great week! Oh! one more miracle! A recently reactivated member Sister Cantrell out of nowhere called us saturday and told us that if there were any investigators she could befriend she would love to and also that her home is open whenever we want to teach investigators lessons there. Whoa!!!! She is also going to the temple soon! Amazing :)
