Tracting, Training and a New Haircut!!

Hello Everybody,

We had a pretty good week, I don't have much time today but I'll try
to sum it up.
We did lots of tracting! We found a lot of people to teach as well.
One of them is a family of 7! We are pretty excited about that. We
taught them just yesterday, we are going back to share the Book of
Mormon with them in a few days. God led us to them for sure. The way
we tract has changed a little bit. We used to just go down a street
and knock every single door on it. But now we are taking advantage of
the Gift of The Holy Ghost that we have been given, and we walk down
the street, only knocking the doors that we feel impressed to knock.
We make the most of our time this way, and find the people who are
ready, it is great! It isn't easy though, sometimes I feel like giving
up, but I know we just need to keep on trying my best and The Lord
will lead and guide me as I act in faith.
We didn't do anything special for the 4th of July, I heard lots of
fireworks though! I thought about my 4th of July exactly a year ago in
McCall with the McCuen family, that was way fun! It's crazy to think
that was a whole year ago.
Elder Hidie and I are in the process of planning Zone Meeting for this
Wednesday, it's going to be great! We have sought and are continuing
to seek revelation on how to best help our Zone take the next step
forward in missionary work.
At MLCM this week we discussed The Church's declaration concerning the
Supreme Court's ruling. The Family: A Proclamation To The World is a
wonderful testament to me of the fact that we have living Prophets,
Seers, and Revelators on the Earth today with Christ leading and
guiding them. Who would've known back in 1995 that the basic
components of the family would be so vulnerable to change and
distortion from God's plan for us. I would invite all of you to go
onto http://lds.org and read that declaration, it is powerful!
I know that I will be training for sure next transfer. After MLCM on
Thursday President and Sister Gerber pulled us and another
companionship aside and let us know about it, Elder Hidie and I will
continue to serve as Zone Leaders for the Ann Arbor Zone but we will
be split up and be training! We'll see how that goes! I have faith in
President Gerber's decision, he is an inspired man. I will make the
most of my last week with Elder Hidie, he is a stud, I love him! Even
though he gave me a haircut that is the equivalent of his, and doesn't
look the best on a white guy like myself! Haha he shaped up my
hairline and stuff, I look like a goober. But it's alright! It'll grow
out eventually. I love you all, I hope you have a great week!
