Its been quite a week!!!!

We have taught ALOT of less actives and i truly hope that things will go good for them and that they can find faith to come back to church.

The highlights of my week were exchanges. I went to another area and worked with sister Leondhart. We both have very similar backgrounds so it was so nice to work with someone who knows what ive been through. We started by teaching a man named Dave. Dave got into anti mormon stuff on the internet and so it was a big mess when we taught him. We told him that he needed to read the book of mormon and pray for himself if this church is true. He said no that he only needed the bible and that praying was lacking faith... so he got dropped :(. We then went and taught another lady the plan of salvation and the spirit was very strong!! On our way out we ran into a guy who said he got excommunicated at 1981 and hasnt been back since. So we talked to him and he said that they dont want him back. We tried to talk to him about the atonement but he told us to go away so we did. Later we taught another lady the plan of salvation. And shes amazing shes getting ready to be baptized on augest 29. She use to be obcessed with the band kiss and after hearing the gospel she got rid of everything about kiss and replaced it with stuff about god. Exchanges were amazing. The other highlight was sunday. My companion and i walked into stake confernece and were talking to members when out of nowhere Aunt Kate showed up and yelled surprise!!! I was speechless and couldnt beleive it. I hugged her and then saw Jedda, Daniel, their kids and uncle paul i hugged the girls and shooke the guys hands. We then took photos and talked a bit. It was amazing to see them. then yesterday for p day we played ultimate frisbee with my zone it was loads of fun!!! The elders are really really funny and were really nice and passing the frisbee to us sisters. And that was the best of the week. Some dissapointments have happened as well. My last area White Rock is now closed to missionaries. :( which im really sad about since i spent 4 months trying to keep that area from doing that :(. and then one of the girls in my mtc district went home for anxiety and stress :( and then a dog peed on my leg during joespeh smiths vision and i got flipped off by some teenage guys who were whistieling at me... but this week was definetly one of ups and downs. Love you :)))
