Hi family! This week has been great!!!!! Okay before I forget, next week I may not be able to email y'all because we are planning to go to the temple on Friday. Which means no preparation day for us. So I will just have to write y'all all a letter. Okay back to my week. So this week we had exchanges and it was way fun. I went to Pennsylvania!!!!! I felt like a rebel... even though its in mission boundaries. Oh man though, that area is sketch. But I made it out alive. Sister Davis and I decided on our exchange to stop by all the DNC's (do not contact's) and surprisingly they were all super nice and we were able to clear up some things with them and got a few return appointments. It was a very productive exchange. I also got to exchange with Sister Pound in Alliance, and we transformed one of their investigators fridge. It was a miracle in of itself. I also have never smelled such a horrible thing. But in the end it looked pretty dang clean. And plus we had an awesome lesson with her afterwards. So exchanges went well!
This week we also saw a bunch of our recent converts and we mainly have been working on the new members lessons with them. All these girls are the best. The only downside to seeing them is they live on Kent campus which means we have to pay for our parking hahaha. We really just need to go make friends with the police men. Maybe if we share the gospel with them, they may just give us a free parking pass :)
We also saw Cara a few times this week and she went to church!!!! Oh man though, for gospel principles we had the law of chastity lesson of course..... it always happens on investigators first sundays. (And we hadn't yet taught Cara about the law of chastity. In fact we were going to teach her that later Sunday night.) But of course, her first Sunday and that's the lesson and shes a single mom of three, never married, and has definitely never heard of the law of chastity. It was awkward at first and we also had some very very opinionated people in that class that said some offensive comments without even knowing Cara's situation. At first Cara seemed upset but then we turned the class around and made it positive again. Despite all that craziness, she loved it and we are now taking her to Kirtland tomorrow! Yay yay! She is literally the coolest!!!! Cara is a miracle. She seriously has been super prepared to hear the gospel. Even though the law of chastity lesson at church was a mess, she said,"Now that I know, I definitely am going to change my ways. And I want my kids to learn to so they don't make the mistakes I did" What?! We hadn't even committed her to do that yet. It was cool.
Last fun thing we did this week was we had an interview with a student from Kent State. Last week we had tracting into an english professor from the school and he wanted one of the students to do a video journalism project about us. So with permission from President, we did this interview where she basically asked us what our missions were like and what we did and what we left. Both the student and her mom were super moved and they had tons of questions for us. They were great people and I think we might be able to start teaching them if we get to know them a bit more. They would make for some great mormons :)
Well, that was the majority of my week. It was great! Saw lots of miracles! And the weather has been beautiful so that's also a plus!!!
THE CHURCH IS TRUE BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!!! I know with my whole heart that Heavenly Father has given us the Gospel because he loves us and wants us to return to Him :)
LOVE YOU FAMILYYYYYY!!!
Love,
