Week 14: Happy New Year

Hey Y'all!

This week has been a week of sacrifice and miracles!! 

We went through our area book and contacted some people who had said they were interested or met with missionaries from before. Lots were interested but are home for the summer but excited to meet in August when they get back for school. One guy actually was in town and wanted to meet that same day. So we set up a time. He had a lot of questions, but wouldn't really listen to any answers given and wasn't open to letting the spirit confirm truths through feelings. I don't think he meant to be mean, but he kinda bashed us the whole lesson. So that was my first experience with that. But after that we ended up running into Ross again! He was the guy we had tracked into and he wanted us to come back but never was home. We thought he had maybe left for the summer, but turns out he just moved. So we got his number and he seemed really excited to see us again. So we are hoping to be able to meet with him this week. 

The rest of the week we've been tracting a ton. Sister Bronson and I have been working on inspired finding. We found out that our Mission President has asked all the missionaries to use half their miles allotted. Since we are on bikes it didn't affect us at all, so we've decided to have our own sacrifice to get the Lord's power and help here in finding. I am sacrificing my morning nap. We have some time to get ready, but I dont take all the time, so I've been using what I don't use to nap. But in the last few days we have already seen so many blessings. We've found three people who are really interested and we got their numbers to set up times around their busy schedules. 

We also stopped by Hunter who we had found last week. He hadn't been home a few times, but yesterday he was home. He was feeling a little bit under the weather so we asked if there was a better time, but he was down to talk then. So we had a great lesson talking about the plan of Salvation and what we know about life after this world. And he agreed to read the Book of Mormon. I'm so excited for him. He is going to love it. 

One day when we were knocking, we talked with an older gentleman who wasn't all there. When we were leaving he told us, Happy New Year! So happy new year y'all in the middle of summer :)

Love Y'all! Stay Awesome:)
