Three Months Done and Down in the Books!!

Dear Family and Friends

I have now been a missionary for 3 months. It is a pretty crazy feeling. It feels like I just barely got out here, which is true, but also I feel like I have been out here for forever.... It is interesting. 

Anyway... This week was crazy because Elder Scherry got all of his going home things and flight plans and things so it has been crazy. 

Monday we went to the Gulf again, which was fun. Then we went over to a less actives for dinner and that was monday.

Tuesday we got the call that in this ward the missionaries are going to teach every single member the discussions again. We got really stressed when we got that call. We have to teach 2 members every day in order to reach the goal, it has been very stressful. And because we have been doing so much of that, we havent got to proselyte as much. We had dinner at the Caples and then went and played basketball with investigators which was really fun. 

Wednesday we went to and did service, we helped a member move for most of the day, t was awesome because she really needed help. We also went to an investigators house named Danyelle Braxton. She is an awesome women and we taught her lesson 1 and 2 and commited her to be baptized on the 30th of this month! She has stopped smoking and really wants to be baptized. When I offered the invitation to her to be baptized she broke down in tears and started thanking our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for sending us to her. The spirit was so strong! 

Thursday we went finding for most of the day! we found a lot of potentials and taught some first lessons but, not anything big to report. 

Friday we were on exchanges with the Zone Leaders. It was awesome and Elder Strong showed us some investigators that were close to being baptized when he was here and now they are investigating again! that was awesome. We also went and taught the stake president the first lesson and that was really powerful and spiritual. Teaching the members is amazing.

Saturday we went finding and did more service for a soup kitchen. It was a great experience. We also went and saw Danyelle and taught her the 3rd lesson and she still really wants to be baptized! 

Sunday we went around and visited less actives and potential investigators. That was really awesome and some of those less actives were at church as well! It was awesome! 

The spirit is amazing and I am loving the mission! I appreciate all the personal emails, packages and letters! yall are the best! I hope everyone has an amazing week! Until next week!

Love you all!
