Teaching with a Seventy!!

Dear Family and Friends,

The weather has been pretty hot this week, almost every day in the
90's and almost 100% humidity every day! We've been doing alright
though despite the heat.
   This week was full of surprises!  Thursday was a pretty stacked day,
we had a Mission Leadership Council Meeting from 9:30-4:00 PM and
directly after that, an Area Seventy named Elder Dunnigan picked us up
to go out teaching with us! He had asked President Gerber a few days
prior if he could go out working with some missionaries and President
suggested that he go out with us! So that's a pretty high compliment!
It was really good, we had 2 great lessons with him and he testified
powerfully of the divinity of Jesus Christ.
   We picked up 2 investigators Thursday named Dee and Pierre, they
were being taught (mainly Dee though) back in Kentucky. Dee was going
to be baptized but she ended up moving up here to Michigan before that
could happen! So she has really good desires and we are working with
her and her husband now! We also met with Cortney Goff and her fiance,
it was a great lesson with Elder Dunnigan there with us. Cortney was
able to receive an answer to her prayer when she asked if Joseph Smith
was a prophet. She told us about the experience she had and how she
knows he was called of God.
 Friday we went on exchanges with the Assistants, that was really
great! I went with Elder Andersen, he's a stud. We worked hard
together and talked about how the mission is doing. It was nice to be
comps with him for a day!
   Elder Cooper and I have been receiving a lot of Referrals lately, 2
of whom wanted Bibles. So we delivered those and talked with them
about the Restored Gospel. One of them is an older black lady named
Venus, and the other is a 12 year old boy named Nicholas! They are
somewhat interested, we're looking forward to teaching them more.
   The highlight of our week was going out with Elder Dunnigan for
sure, it was so great! We are working hard here in Ypsilanti, praying
for God to lead us to the elect! We have faith and hope that it will
happen as we go out and be obedient and diligent.
   God bless us as we move forward the work of The Lord as members and
missionaries!
