Nerf Wars

Hello everyone!

I am so happy to have heard from so many of you this week! Marina should be there by now! How exciting! I hope the weather is nice for you!

We taught 17 lessons last week! We were so busy and reached 3 or 4 of our goals! We are so excited! This week hasnt started off quite as good as last week. Yesterday we had four appointments booked and all of them cancelled! We ended up teaching two appointments to different people though and all the other rescheduled so it wasnt that bad.

We are teaching this guy though that I would really like to smack! We have had the most spiritually guided, testimony building and just amazing lessons with him and he continues to be a dufus! He talks himself out of believing everytime! Stinking agency lol! We know that he knows it's true but he has alot of fears. He is in his twenties and really wants to do whats right but for some reason he is scared to pray about what we are teaching him on his own. I am just so exctied for the moment that he finally does pray and get his answer. I think it's the whole action side of things that he is wrestling with, knowing that when he gets his answer that he will have to act on it. We are hanging in there and just supporting him and doing what we can to build his faith and trust!

We are teaching this awesome guy named Dan and he is sooo amazing. He is just the way we all should be! His wife is inactive and she has had home teachers and visiting teachers come consistently! That really makes a difference! Any way so all through out the years he said that he was always like... why arent they wanting to see/speak to me..? And then he made friends with a member who set up for us to start teaching him and he is just Golden? He always keeps his commitments, prays and his motivation is that he is wanting to be sealed to his wife! He doesnt fully understand that yet but we are slowly teaching him (expect becuase he keeps all of his committments he progresses quickly). He has come to church consistently, asked if he can pay tithing already, is keeping the word of wisdom and just so excited! He gets anxious if we arent there on time! He is so childlike! It is great. Saturday we finished teaching him the 3rd lesson or the Gospel of Jesus Christ- Faith, repentance, Baptism, recieving the Gift of the Holy Ghost and Enduring to the End. We had time to start teaching him the commandments and he is jsut so excited to change! We asked him about baptism on Saturday and he said that he is just waiting for us to tell him when he is ready! We said that he is but there are still commandments that we need to teach him but that he can probably be baptised by the end of the month! I am so excited that we are teaching him. It is just so refreshing when they really really want it. He just wants to be ready, so we dont want to rush him into it!

Last week I think I told you about our P-day activity... I am not sure but we did nerf wars! We set up the cultural hall in a war zone and then attacked each other in teams! You just use a pipe and nerfs and your lungs! It is sooo fun! I got shot in the arm though by a poly elder and I got a welt! Well anyway the point of me telling you this is that the Elders brought them to our district meeting too and we used them in our skill check! I am getting really good at aiming! Well I guess there really is no point in me telling you this, just that I seriously need to get some of them when I get home!

As it is mothers day this coming weekend, I hope that you can all get together somewhere at about 12 on Sunday your time as I will be calling Saturday night my time and I would really like to be able to speak to you all! my comp will call the night before to check out the arrangements.. But just to prewarn you!

I love you all and miss you! I am so excited to talk to you this weekend!
