Joseph Prince and the Book Muhammed

Yah tua!

(that's hello in the African dialect I'm learning)

This last week has been a week of MIRACLES. So many incredible things

have happened. For those who don't know, as missionaries we set weekly

goals of things like how many investigators will be at church, how

many investigator lessons we'll teach with members present, how many

without, how many recent converts we'll teach and things like that.

This week my companions and I set our goals for what seemed reasonable

and then put everything one higher than that goal. We were determined

to push ourselves! And because we pushed ourselves and told Heavenly

Father we were determined to meet these goals, we saw miracles!

Our first miracles is Ellen. We met her on Tuesday and taught her

three times last week. We're teaching her VERY slowly, but she's

agreed to be baptized when she knows that this is the true church!!

And she WILL come to know that this church is true! She's hilarious.

She gets confused and always tells us "I want to learn more about

Joseph Prince and Muhammed." We have to correct her a lot, but she'll

get it.

Next miracle: McDonalds. We had interviews this week with President

and ended up going an hour early so we were behind and then missed a

lesson and then people weren't home so we decided to stop by McDonalds

for wifi. This man, Lou, came up to us and asked if we were the

missionaries. And just in case you missed that - HE came up to US. We

talked for a little bit, he had met the elders in our Ward and said he

would come to church and wanted us to apologize to them for him and

tell them that he didn't come because he was high. Hahahahah, it was

too great. He was kind of crazy, but still a child of God and I love

him. But as we were talking to us a woman came up to us - again, SHE

came up to US - and said "ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT JESUS???" And we

talked for a good 20 minutes and taught her the restoration and set up

a return appointment and she told me that I'm sweet as Apple pie!

McDonalds brings miracles everyone! Remember that.

I've also been learning a lot about teaching on Facebook. I've been

able to friend and teach many people living in Africa - it's

definitely an interesting experience, but Facebook is such an

incredible tool for sharing the gospel. It's amazing because

missionaries aren't able to physically be everywhere around the globe,

but with Facebook we can be. As you get in Facebook this week you

should all think about how you can share the gospel with what you post

and share to your wall. :)

Just so you all know, I will not be emailing next Monday! I know, I

know, no need to fret, my PDay has been moved to Tuesday. Since my

mission is one of the leading Facebook missions we're having a mission

wide conference and general authorities are coming to give us more

Facebook training so we can really magnify our purpose online. I'm

excited!

I love you all! Thank you to all the wars members who sent me letters
this week, it really meant to much!
