No way!!!

OSo i will be honest right here, there was quite a long week this week, full of lots of things happening but actually very little happening. We had a ton of people set up this week, and come and meet with us, but about 90% stood us up. So we had a pretty long week in terms of we had to do sudden change of plans and usually that meant street contacting. But we still had a ton of fun! 

First i want to share we went on our exchanges with the AP's this week and i had the opportunity to go with the new Elder Johnson! He is so awesome! Truly a great example of missionary work. Because on the exchange i would say its safe to say he has changed my mission. He showed its not only about what your doing but what your striving for. He is a very humble guy! Super hard working, and has such a big desire to improve. But the biggest thing is that we both just were excited to work, but we worked together, it was one better than the other. Even though Elder Johnson is for sure much more powerful than i he is still so humble and great at making you feel needed. I'm sure he could baptize the nation on his own though. We had a ton of fun, had a chance to really help some people there. And teach a few lessons and contact on the streets as well as work with a member or two.

 We did this thing we have been starting recently that has been really effective, we bring an extra BOM every visit and we bring it out with high lighters. We mark our favorite scriptures and read them, and ask the member to share and mark a few, then we tell them, this book is now yours you have one week to deliver to a friend. At first the member was like i dont know anyone, but as we read the spirit brought about 3 or 4 names to him! really good exchange!

then the remaining week was filled with time, we had about 16 potential lessons stand us up, but on the bright side i am slowly learning how to play the most basics of piano!!! we have about 10 mins of time waiting in the chapel before we decide that they aren't coming of course with a call or two. But i just sit at the piano and my companion teaches me how to read, and really basic playing skills! You should know my "be still my soul" top hand only, top line is get ting pretty good for about grand total of an hour of practice/learning😉

However i would say CROWNING moment of the week! Sunday morning we got up and got ready and start biking 40 mins later we got back to my old ward, at 9am to attend zhou zhong yue"s confirmation! his family is now on track for eternal marriage! He is a great miracle! We helped his wife be active again, he is now a member of the church, and their adorable children can now grow up in the covenant i look forward to the day they can be sealed together for ever!
