one forth..... you kidding right?!?!?!
well as said i am almost at my 6 month mark (this Friday) so that will mean i am a forth of the way through my mission...... i am not sure i like that.........
This has been an amazing experience and boy time has flown by!!! i hope
that the rest of the mission will slow down a bit so i can have more time to
enjoy it!!!
it has been a great week with a lot of fun moments!
the best of it was that we had a special broadcast for missionaries world
wide that was amazing!! we were trained by Elder Dallin H. Oaks, Elder David A.
Bednar, and many other amazing people!! it was so cool to listen to then and
learn how to be better missionaries! there was so much insight given i am
surprised my pen didn't run out of ink!!!
Then we had simple miracles of meeting amazing people. this week we have
gained 2 new investigators who are amazing!
The one was a friend of a member who came over to dinner the same time we
did. we taught a bit but he already was determined to come to church! then we
gave him the Book of Mormon and before we could invite him to read it he cut us
off saying, "you know why i am going to read this? because i feel so good right
now!" he had felt the Holy Ghost and recognized it and knew what we said was
true! he is so ready and willing to come unto Christ it makes me cry tears of
Joy! he is truly a valiant son of God!
The next was an investigator who moved from clintion who is progressing so
fast it is amazing! he is trying now to stop smoking but he knows that he can do
it with the help of God!!
it has been a great week and i am so happy for the spirit in my life. it is
funny because sometimes when we have dinner with members we will feel like using
the same scripture we used with another family a couple of night before. well
the lesson starts of the same but the end is so different because the spirit
will go in and help the new family get what they need out of the scripture! i
know that he is the true teacher and as long a we do our part to prepare that he
will use us as tools to teach what the person needs!
I love you all so much and i hope you have an amazing week!
Love Elder Payne
