The Church is True and the Book is Blue

What a week! Sister Streetman and I have been talking this week about how the church is just so true.  The more you learn, and study, and exercise faith, and feel the spirit it just becomes more and more real that Christ's church was lost, but has been restored to the earth by a man who was called to be Prophet just as God has done time and time again.  That's just the simple truth. 

We tracted a lot and it was freezing cold but we found a few new investigators so it was good!  We had been tracting all day with no luck and we were walking through the parking lot of an apt complex when we came across Sarah and she had two little girls with her and was trying to carry a suitcase so we helped her out and it turns out that she is super interested in our message!  We are really excited to meet with her again!  God really does put people in our path who are prepared! 

Here is the most depressing story ever.  We were tracting and a man answered the door and we told him we were missionaries and he said he already believes in Jesus, and then he told us to go find a warm place because it is so cold and we are crazy to be out in the cold.  So I asked him if he knew any warm places we could go and he said that he knew a warm place, and that warm place was his house and it was so cozy and warm inside... and then he said we should leave and find our own warm place. *shuts door. 

We had 6 people come to church. 3 of which were Baptist seminary students. 👊 Oh and President and Sister James randomly showed up and he totally threw down at the pulpit.  Alex and Alexus came and brought their 5 year old little sister, and Danita was there again.  Danita is so awesome and she is totally loving our church we just need to meet with her!!  She definitely will be baptized though.  I know it.  We had a super awesome lesson with Alexus and she said that she believes the Book of Mormon is true and she wants to be baptized!!  She just needs to ask her mom, which she is scared about because her mom doesn't like our church.  So definitely keep her and her mom in your prayers!! 

We also went caroling outside of Walmart as a district and handed out cards.  It was absolutely frigid, but we brought some smiles to people's faces. 

I'll talk to you soon! LOVE YA'LL!
