If any of you have seen the office, season 3, episode “The Merger", Andrew Bernard gives 3 sure-fire ways he is going to climb the career ladder, these are:
1. Name repetition
2. Body mirroring
3. Never break a handshake
Coincidentally, these are also what to do to always be a good missionary. So, thank you Andy Bernard.
Your character on the show wasn't completely useless.

Anyways, this week was super awesome! We had zone conference and it was super fun! We had a lot of trainings on "taking it back to the grove" which essentially is what Elder Renlund taught about how everything we teach should relate back to Joseph Smith's experience in the Sacred Grove! It was so cool! I always am so pumped after zone conferences!
That night we had an awesome lesson with the Van Wagoners, the less active family trying to come back! We have been really struggling to know what to teach them and suddenly, Christina just opened up and pretty much told us everything we needed to help them, we got direction and she said she wants to get her patriarchal blessing. It was just so so good! I was so excited!

We went contacting for 4 hours but no one answered so we decided to go to Chick Fil A and use their wifi to send videos to our people. As I was in line to get fries I started talking to a woman and we chatted for a while! Turns out her best friend went on a mission to Indianapolis like 40 years ago and she really respected it and then gave us a 10$ gift card!! So sweet! What a miracle!
We had another lesson with Misty, and as soon as we went over she said "my family wants to meet you." We sat on her porch and were slightly worried that we walked into a bash. But, her mom, aunt and sister came out and they were so sweet! Her mom told us how she'd been trying to go to church her whole life but hasn't found one that fits her yet. We asked her why she's thinks there are so many churches and went into the restoration! Her mom, Joyce, thought it was so amazing and we were having a really good lesson then Paul came. And Misty said “Paul will want to talk to you, he loves church stuff". Then, I was worried. He started going on and on and Misty kept telling him to stop because she wanted to hear us and not him. At one point he wanted to analyze some scriptures with us and I said "no we don't want to read your scriptures :). We have our own plan! Misty, can you open to Alma 32?” And, I was really nice about it but, he was mad and left. We then had an awesome lesson with them! Joyce really enjoyed it and said she felt uplifted during it!!
t was so awesome!!

We had a not good lesson with Ahna and Lilly (the 8 year old girls who we can't mention Baptism to) and I won't go into details but really, it's a miracle we are allowed to come back again.
