Things Are Starting To Roll :)

Hello!

Last week started a little slow, but Sister Meek and I did a lot of organizing of our area and the people on maps and such so that we are now much more prepared and organized to be able to plan better and more efficiently.  We've also been able to meet a lot more members at church and throughout the week and that has helped a lot too.  Members really are so key to spreading the gospel.  Yesterday was when I feel like we really started rolling.  We had two amazing lessons yesterday. . . .   We now have 7 investigators and so many more potentials!  I'm really excited for this upcoming week!

I'm growing a stronger and stronger testimony of the Book of Mormon and the importance of having a testimony of that book.  I love being out here in the South where we do get questions like, "Why do we need  the Book of Mormon if we have the Bible??"  Studying those investigator type questions has really given me a stronger testimony in why they are so important, and how true they are.  The Introduction on the Book of Mormon is also really powerful, along with 3 Nephi 11:10-11.  That is a scripture that we have been encouraged to use by our Mission President when tracting and contacting, and it really is powerful for those who do read it.  This gospel is true, and truly the Lord is the one in charge of this work.  Miracles happen all of the time.  And that's not to say that they are always obvious.  But as I look back over the week, and over each day, I can see the Lord's hand is constantly in my life and in this work.  I've also been able to see how the Lord has prepared me for this mission.  One specific example is that I felt prompted to take the New Testament Classes in College my Sophomore year.  That has already been a great blessing.

Time is really short today, but here's a few other things that happened this week that you might be interested in:
  -Sister Meek and I really enjoy our bikes and have started riding them more just because we like them. :)
  -We were fed pizza, chicken wings, and Coca-cola by a very kind man and his wife who we were talking to about the neighbors (trying to contact a less active member) when the Domino's car drove up, and he offered us some.  We ate them on his front porch.  Haha it was great :)
