Week 62

Hello everyone, writing emails is so fun to do for 18 months, trust me, and I know that it is

 probably even more fun for you to read them. 

This week was pretty exciting! We did the normal of lessons, zoom calls, and just hanging out trying not o feel like failures because we have ALMOST 0 PEOPLE TO TEACH.

Wow, missions are weird, but we also had sooo much fun this week! 

This week we went on double exchanges, back to back. First, I went with Sister Lamb, and she is such a baller and we had so much fun! A homeless man came up to me at the gas station and asked for money but we couldn't give him any, so we gave him a Book of Mormon instead, and he was so excited! He told us he is so excited to grow closer to God! 

Then, I went on exchanges with Hermana Christiansen and we did it Saturday night to Sunday night and on church on Sunday we had 3 people at church!! We were so excited because Geo was there, and also Chubbs and Jacob came! But, Geo and Chubbs were really really happy and Chubbs kept yelling "everyone needs Jesus! If they don't like you, they are denying Jesus and they are sinners!" and Geo was smiling a ton and kept asking us to come over that night for a lesson. Turns out they were high. Like super high. And not high on the gospel like I am,  nope. Then, Chubbs and Geo invited us to come to their work bbq and we were planning on baptizing nations, but it was out of our area, and when we told the zone leaders the situation, they told us to call the APs who also told us to call PRESIDENT. and he told us we cannot go to the party if there is any influences, so we couldn't go.

There was also a huge rainstorm last night. and I was driving Christiansen back to the church and we went down a hill and the water was so high and right when we went down, the other car sprayed us and we were COMPLETELY SUBMERGED. and as I was driving, I remember thinking, "I'm ready to die" and it was very calm so I just closed my eyes for a few seconds and then I felt us go back up the hill and I opened my eyes and we kept driving. 

We had an amazing lesson with Jacob this week and the spirit was so strong as we explained the sealing power of the priesthood. He doesn't want to get baptized again because he didn't see the point,  but as we explianed that it can seal our baptisms to us for all eternity he really liked that! He told us he is getting closer and it is so awesome! We are just trying to get his passion alive for the gospel and we will be set. 

I love you all! I am so grateful for this gospel! As I think about my mission, I can't believe who I'd be without the gospel and the things I know. I am so thankful we can find peace and answers in the scriptures! We can be washed clean through the atonement! I love Jesus!

I love you all!
