18 February 2013



It was a good week.  They seem to go faster and faster... I know I said that last week.... but still!  I have 10 days till I reach my 1/3 of the way mark. yup. 6 months already.  And our birthday!  wooohooo! We’re gonna be old!  I tease Sis J.... she seems quite distressed... she turns 23 tomorrow.  She thinks that is old.
  
Zone conference was fabulous.  6 hours.  Lunch with all the other missionaries.  Some good lessons... attempts at role plays.... heard a couple of really good stories too.... I handwrote some of those out for you though.:)

We had a couple of great experiences this week... which has led us to 3 new investigators! :) Excitement!  We hardly had any appts that didn't fall through.... so we tried to set some solid appts and tried by some of the potentials we've found in the past few weeks.  2 of our potentials agreed to a return appt... So we'll see them this week... and then we found one while tracting.  hopefully you'll hear a lot more about him.  I was nervous for this particular door at first.... but he came right outside (in the heavy snow even) and chatted with us for 30 minutes about how he investigated once before, and then dated the sister missionary after she came home.  It fell through, he quit investigating... then he went to Iraq where he’s been serving in the army for 12 years.  He’s only here on leave, but he asked us if we could come back. Tomorrow! Hopefully there will be more to report after that. :) he’s one of the happiest people I’ve met, and says that his faith in God has gotten him through some really tough times... being shot at, hearing bombs go off, losing loved ones. 

life is great.
