Week 4: Ellicott City

Hello Everyone ,  First off Maryland is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! And very humid!!! It's been hard getting used to everything and getting  comfortable talking to random people.  The rejection is rough too.  However, I got us a new potential investigator yesterday!!!  We were walking on the street and I stopped to give him a pass along card and then we ran into him again so I talked to him some more and gave him a Book of Mormon, a restoration pamphlet, and asked if we could teach him some time.  We are going to see him on Thursday.     On my first day after meeting my trainers we helped a Korean lady change a tire! I did service like an hour into my mission!!! I'm serving in Ellicott city!! I have 2 trainers because they are zone leaders and  I love my comps! They are so awesome!!!  Sorry this is so short!  I will have more time to write next week.  Your letters and emails are great!  Please keep them coming! ...

Week 3: Maryland Bound

Hi everyone!!   I won't be able to write much this week.  We aren't having an official Pday since we are leaving  tomorrow .   4 elders from our district left  this morning. That was kinda sad. You create a strong bond with one  purpose and grow so close within days and then after a couple weeks we  have to all separate. It sucks!  This week has been really good  though!! I still kinda have a cold, but it is getting better. I  also don't really want to leave the MTC! I am so excited to get to  Maryland though!!!!    We did floral  Friday  with our ties  and We did a tie signing  with one of our teachers!!! That was cool and I got his tie because he  liked mine and wanted to trade!!  I got a haircut  on Saturday .  That was the most violent and fastest haircut I've ever gotten!!! I just want to share that I know this gospel is true and that Christ is our Savior ...

Week 2: Provo MTC

Hey Everyone!  I got my itinerary!!! I will NOT get another Pday but we might get to  email Monday ! In class we have been learning about looking for and finding evidences of faith in our investigators.  If they don't feel comfortable praying then have them read or just listen and think.  Last week went by so fast!!!  We get new teachers this week which kinda sucks! i liked my teachers!   I feel like I've grown a lot since I've been here! Somehow its only been 2 weeks! some awesome stuff i want to share with you:  If you don't know if the spirit is telling you something or if its your own thoughts Elder Bednar says " Just quit worrying about it! Go forward with faith and as long as you're worthy you'll have the spirit with you" I love that and i know i have a lot of times where i don't know if its me or the spirit! Another couple quotes i like are "You need to feed your faith before you feed your doubts"  "People don't care ...

Week 1: Provo MTC

Hey everyone!!! I can't tell you enough how happy I am it's P-day! It's been a crazy week and I've learned a ton! The MTC is pretty great, and the food isn't too bad! But exercise time is the best! Me and my comp have been able to teach 3 role play investigators so far. 2 of them we taught for the first time yesterday. One of them was a lady who was in her 70's and her daughters are members. One of them died during child birth, and she had promised her that she'd give the church a chance so she talked to us! The spirit was so strong and it being only our 3rd lesson we had notes ready to use but didn't look at them once! The spirit taught the lesson completely! I don't even remember what we said it was so powerful!! At the end of the lesson we asked her to read the Book of Mormon and pray to know what it and we say is true. At that point she said " I will read it and I will pray. However, I already know what you say is true...
