Week 56 - August 28, 2017 - Morgantown, West Virginia

Whattuppp y'all!! How's life over there in Utah and in different parts of the world?? Hope it's great! Things in Morgantown are pretty solid to say the least. We found a lot of new investigators this week who are truly ready to hear the gospel! It's getting colder too. Soooooo that's chill. Literally. Anyways!! Sorry to hear about Julian Edelman. Patriots should be Ok though. Hope Elder Barnett is OK in Texas too. 

So something that I have gained a strong testimony of this week is how Heavenly Father truly does have a plan for each and every one of us. I've had some tough times this week not gonna lie. But as I've knelt down in prayer, studied the scriptures, and attended church, I was able to feel His love all week and He gave me the assurance that His plan was perfect and that I had nothing to worry about. He truly does know us each individually and knows what's going on in our lives. So if you feel like things aren't going your way, just remember that that's how it's supposed to be. God's in charge and knows what truly makes us happy.

UPDATE ON INVESTIGATORS:

Shelby and Jaylin. So they're new investigators that we picked up on Saturday! They have been taught by missionaries before but they forgot everything. haha. They each accepted the invitation to be baptized and even agreed to get MARRIED! Like what the what??? It was a crazy but awesome lesson! They're coming to church this week so prayers for them please!

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK:

In Alma 32, Alma compares the word "faith" to a seed. As we continue to nourish our "seed", then it becomes stronger and more steadfast. What are YOU doing to nourish that faith continually? What can you improve on? Scripture study? Prayer? Whatever it may be, think of how you can better nourish your "seed of faith" so that you can withstand the fiery darts that Satan throws at us each and every day.

FUNNY MOMENT:

So this week, I've been realizing that Elder Howe says the FUNNIEST things. Just random things too. So I've been keeping a list of quotes from him throughout the week and here's one of my favorite ones from this week:

Me: "Hey Elder Howe what was something funny that happened this week?"
Howe: "Well everyone cancelled on us on coming to church today. That was pretty hilarious."

HAHA!

Anyways, love yall! Hope you guys have a great week and stay safe :)
