Holland Way

Hey y'all!

On Tuesday we were able to SKYPE INTO DISTRICT MEETING. Usually we can only make it down twice a transfer for district meeting because it takes us 45 minutes to get there....not to mention we have limited miles. So now we can make it to every meeting, every week! Which is nice because now we might be able to go to a few pday activities and get some human interaction. It gets kind of lonely sometimes, but it's worth it.

We also had a lesson with Samantha on the gospel of Jesus Christ. We asked her how she has come to know that she has been forgiven of her sins and she talked about a weight being lifted off her chest. That's the beautiful thing of repentance!! We can be free from guilt and sorrow that comes as a result of sin. What a beautiful gift we have, all thanks to our Savior.

Then we had John S*** on Wednesday and he had LOTS of questions for us. He talked to his pastors and friends about us and the Book of Mormon and had a couple of concerns. We were able to utilize the Book of Mormon and the Bible to answer his questions and he said he is going to read 1 Nephi 1! He sure is one funny guy!

On Thursday we were over eating at our branch mission leader's house and we got a text.......FROM JACK AND LISA!!! We had been trying to call and text them since Sunday with no response. They wanted us to come over next week once their family leaves and goes back home. It was a miracle and we both had to hold it together because we were praying for them so much. We have plans to go over tomorrow and we ARE BRINGING SAMANTHA WITH US!! So pumped.

Then we went to Idyllwild on Friday and found a new investigator named Jessica!! She is the sweetest person I have ever met and she accepted baptism!

And then conference was perfect as always. My favorite part was sustaining President Russel M Nelson as our prophet. Tear filled my eyes as I raised my right hand and gave my sustaining vote. God still speaks to us today and Christ is truly the head of His church. They are not passive, and neither should we as we follow the prophet.

Love y'all!!
