Thanks for the umbrella


So this week we ended up only going on one exchange. It was with the Alliance North sisters. It was a lot of fun.We got to teach a few people. We were tracting on one of the streets and this lady invited us into her garage because it started raining so we waited there for a few minutes and talked to her. She gave us an umbrella even though it had stopped raining. About half way back to the car it just started down pouring. We used the umbrella, but we still ended up being sopping wet. We looked real great.

We had dinner with a kid who had served his mission here and went home about a year ago (so he was here when i was which was kind of weird) and he is back for the summer working for a member and is just helping the missionaries especially in the areas that he served in. It was really cool. The next exchange didn't work out because one of the sisters had had to go to the hospital and still wanted a little bit more time to recover.

We got to meet with Dan again. I hope the spirit is working on him somehow. We can say the exact same thing as he is, but we know that to him it means something totally different than it does to us. So we are still working on that. He did get kind of emotional when he was talking to us about some experiences in his life and he told us that he was jealous of us because we were so sure in what we know. So we committed him to start reading the Book of Mormon again and he committed us to read the book of Romans.

On Friday and Saturday mornings we had some training up in Kirtland. Someone from salt lake came. It was really great. She is so great. Even though we had to be at the visitors center at 6:45 in the morning. I have lots to work on.

On Sunday after church we got to meet with Cindy! It wasn't our best lesson by far, but i think that no matter what we do or say she is just ready and prepared so that's good. Her and Cody have talked about basically everything. She has been reading the Book of Mormon everyday and she's already on Mosiah 4. She believes it's true and she loves it. She gets so many great things out of it and she just has a desire to read it everyday. She's so great.

We also had a lesson with Julie yesterday. She's a less active and she just got a job that she is really excited about because it's going to help her to live the word of wisdom. So that is just great too!
