We teach people NOT lessons

I can't believe they are homeless!!! Do you know where they went? That makes me so sad!! So does investigators not coming to church. We had a really amazing lesson with his one guy we've been teaching for three months and I thought it really started getting him thinking, and I asked him to think about what he was willing to sacrifice to prove his love to God, because he probably isn't getting his answer because he is scared that he will have to change. And he promised to come to church....again and it was serious this time. And yet again he didn't show. We are just confused, because what lesson or stronger spirit could persuade him to come?! He is waiting til he is prepared to come, but there's not anything more that he needs or that could be readied for him! It's okay....we did have a super inactive lady come for the first time in forever,  because we had a lesson Saturday. It was really weird, because we said some things that kind of implied she didn't need to come to church. Which....we never say lol but it was really strongly prompted by the Spirit. And then she saw she wasn't being told she had to go and it let the spirit into her own heart explain clearly the blessing it is to get to come, and she actually went! It was a miracle....we teach people not lessons! The golden investigator came too!!! She's so amazing mama, she got up and bore her freaking testimony! Second time ever coming to church. And it was good too, not awkward or uncalled for. She said this  journey she's now in investigating the church makes her feel like she's coming home. Which is the reason that D. decided to join the church. He walked into the building and he felt like he was at home. I feel like I'm at home there too! Especially with my Companion!!!! Guess who gets to keep her for a month and a half! Sister stinking Krueger!!! Three transfers together! How often does that happen? Not often........ We must work really well together :-) or we have a whole lot we need to work on. You never really know with these sort of things. But never mind all of that, the Lord heard my prayers and hopefully they were sister's, too.

Well. And we got a lot of people from the ward praying for us to stay as well. I think some of them actually really like it! So yeah this is pretty much the best news of my life. Sister Smith is the best. But don't tell anybody. Except for everybody. I'LL SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS. Lol we're celebrating by dying her hair red. She's trying to get out of it, but I'm using my missionary follow-up skills.

Our next step is to move our homeless man back into our area. Because that's really what he wants. We give a Call to make sure things are going okay and he said that the elders were trying to steal him away and he told them that the sisters were going to be the ones. This is good. That's what other missionaries like to call poaching. But we really really like him and I am going to be thoroughly vexed if the missionaries in his area let him slip away. I will poach before I let him get forgotten. He is ready for the gospel and really just needs some guides to get him where he's trying to go. I love D..e  I also love all of the other new investigators. Things are going really well for now and I hope it's because the Lord is blessing us for all the hard work we've been doing.

Oh! We got another homeless man this week. He was at the church building! It was really cool actually the way it worked out we know we were definitely inspired and led to be at the exact moment and place we needed to! Because they're supposed be doing something else and our plans fell through and the key to the door we tried first didn't work and we had to walk around the building and just bumped into this guy in the perfect moment. He had been investigating too and trying to get off of drugs and was really down and alone, we talked to him for a while and found I'm some help from ward members and it was really nice. I'm glad to be able to help these less fortunate people without giving them money, because I'm not allowed to as a missionary, but I think Heavenly Father has put them in our path because he trusts we will care for them, like king Benjamin teaches us we should. 

I am going to get a cactus soon too.

Um, idk what song you should sing! Something pretty! Like come thou fount, or His Hands, or a child's prayer. I have decided a new favorite hymn of mine. It's Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy. It's a guy song, but I really really love it. I never was really familiar with it most of my life because we don't sing it very often. But it really helps me feel like a missionary and remember why I am one. ITS THE BEST!

Being a missionary is fun. There's always something to work harder on. This last week, we've been doing more of contacting every investigator daily. It is hard because that's annoying lol and there's already so much to do every day. But we do see them a lot more frequently, and are getting some good fellowshipping for them. My favorite is getting members to make them cupcakes. .....and making the cupcakes with them. I like cupcakes. I shouldnt like cupcakes. Oops
