10/10/2017 - Because the Lord Blesses You When Work Hard

Dear family and friends back home, 

How are all of you? Hope things are going well for ya. Things are going well here too. This week was awesome. We worked so hard, which absolutely was the best. I love working hard. Honestly I can't really handle wasting time because the Lord blesses you when you work hard, and I am even more excited for this next week. We are super busy. 

But big news we had a cool miracle. Randomly last friday we got a text from some old contact named nicole. She said she hadn't met with misionaries in a long time and wanted to meet. So we met her that night and picked her up as a new investigator. It was really cool because when we walked in the first thing I noticed in her home was on the CD rack.  It was a primary songs CD. And one of the first things she says is she knows the Book of Mormon is true. Wow!

As for that this week was thanksgiving. Yesterday to be precise. It was a difficult day, we couldn't get any member lessons, or investigator lessons, and just about everything in our day fell through. So it was knocking doors. And no one would answer. One hard thing about this mission is it gets dark early, and people do not like us knocking on their door when it is dark. Even if it is only 6:30. So you ALWAYS try to fill your evenings with productive things because if not, it is really hard. But other than that brothers and sisters, Just keep doing what you are doing, keep Christ as the center of your lives and keep praying for BYU. I do. Because prayers do make a difference. I love you all and hope you have a wonderful, exciting week. And share the gospel!
