Brighton x 2!!!

Hey everyone! I hope you had a fantastic week, because I did!! Lots of
stuff happened, I'll try to explain everything in the limited time
that I have to email. Shoutout to Wima Bone (Grandma Bone to me) whose
birthday is this week! I love her very much, if you get the
chance, wish her a happy birthday.
   This week was one of the most productive weeks of my mission so
far!! We taught 8 lessons which is outstanding, and we were able to
fulfill our purpose as missionaries all week I think. We taught M
several times, he let us know that he is getting baptized in his church on Sunday, so
we'll see where that goes. 
   We were able to teach 3 lessons from tracting this week which is
unheard of for us! Haha, hopefully that becomes a regularity, that
would be awesome. We definitely saw God's hand in our lives this week.
One awesome miracle: We just got out of a lesson in an apartment
complex, it was the second door we knocked. As soon as we stepped out
of the door there was this guy approaching the stairs, we said hi but
he didn't seem like he wanted to talk very much. As he reached the top
of the stairs and we had started to walk away, he said, "hey are you
guys from the Church of the Latter-Day Saints?" we said "yes, we are!"
he says, "Do you think you've got like 15-20 minutes you could just
talk and visit with me?" Of course we said "Absolutely!!" We found out
he had come to Church before, he has had a rough go around these past
few years with a divorce and stuff, but he is looking to change his
life! Got a return appointment for next week.
    We also taught A this week, he is living all of his
commitments and progressing quickly towards Baptism! His baptismal
date is the 8th of February, him and his fiance are getting married on
January 31st! I love him so much, it has been a blessing to be able to
teach him and see him accept the Gospel into his life.
   On Friday we got a call from the Brighton North Sisters (Sisters
Luke and Sorensen), in which they told us that their area would be
closing down and we would be taking over next transfer! So then on
Saturday when we got transfer calls it wasn't much of a surprise when
we were told that we would be staying here in Brighton. So we have a
much larger area to cover now, we are looking forward to it! That also
means that we will inherit any people that the Sisters were teaching
into our teaching pool, so we will begin teaching B (who has a
baptismal date for Valentines Day)! So it looks like we will have
A getting baptized on the 8th, and B on the 14th, it should be
a GREAT first few weeks of the new transfer!
   On Sunday I got a call from President Gerber. He asked me if I
would be the District Leader for our new District! That means this
transfer will be a huge learning opportunity and period of growth for
me as we are taking over another area, and I will be learning how to
lead a District of the Lord's Servants.
   I'll close with my testimony of the Book of Mormon. I know that the
Book of Mormon is the word of God, and Another Testament of Jesus
Christ. I know that as we read it we will come closer to God than by
any other book as promised by the Prophet Joseph Smith. If you have
any doubts about the Book of Mormon or Joseph Smith's validity as a
Prophet of the Lord, READ THE BOOK OF MORMON. Then ASK our loving
Heavenly Father if it is true. I you ask with a sincere heart, real
intent (willing to act on the answer you receive, having faith in
Christ, He WILL manifest the truth of it unto you by the Power of the
Holy Ghost. I know these things to be true. I have seen it in my life,
and in the lives of whom I am serving. I say these things in the name
of Jesus Christ, Amen. I love you all, thanks for all of your love and
support for me! Have a great week :)
