Investigators!

                                               

This week has been nuts! We met with all three of our awesome investigators this week! Tara is doing well, but we all know she will take a while to accept the gospel if ever.. She is really intellectual. But we have dinner tonight with her at a members home so I think that will be really good for her.

Our faces when we found out Branch Council was not happening

Dan is doing so well! I am so so excited about him. He totally gets everything we teach him and he has such a deep and genuine desire to change. It amazes me! He came to church yesterday, and I felt kind of bad because it seemed pretty overwhelming to him. But our branch mission leader wrapped him in and he said he enjoyed himself. He really is so awesome! One of our members called us later and said she was so impressed and touched by him and she wants to come teach him with us! He is doing really well.

Jordan is doing good still waiting on the parent’s approval but his good friend who introduced him to the church is coming home soon from school, and he thinks having him around more will help. He just needs to come to church more often now.

A few days ago the sisters in our district called us in desperation. They had an appointment with an investigator that they have been trying to meet forever but could never get a chaperon or it just didn't work out. So on this day the member that they had to go with them backed out and they needed a chaperon, so we went with them! It was so much fun. This investigator has been learning from the Sisters in Worcester but lives in Oxford's area so they have been trying to switch him over. He really wants to be baptized but can't quite yet, for certain reasons. But it was fun teaching him because it really felt like we were teaching a little kid, but he is definitely in his late 20's or early 30's. He is kind of forgetful but a really great guy. I am so happy we were able to help them out. Afterwards we were talking about it and one of the sisters said she finally realized what members meant when they say that missionaries bring an extra spirit with them. She felt it with all four of us sister missionaries teaching together. That was pretty neat. I think it was supposed to happen that way for some reason. It was neat.

There are so many miracles that are happening right now! There are families, active and less active that we haven't been able to get in for who knows how long, and now we are seeing them this week! We are also finding so many more people to teach! It is so amazing. I know that the Lord is preparing this area for something special. And I know that the fireside that we are having on the 25th about the prophet Joseph Smith will help a ton too! I am so excited for that!
Many wonderful things to look forward to! I love you all and I hope you know how much I love the gospel and how much I love learning more about it and applying it to my life and to other's lives! It is such a tremendous blessing.

Love,

 Sister Eliza
