 Hey everyone! 

I've had a great week visiting some of my past areas going on exchanges!  It was really cool to see everyone I know and love! I really hope each of you have had a great week as well :)  It's crazy to think that I will come home in 6.5 months! It needs to slow down!  This week I wanted to change the format of my gmail a little bit.  I want to share some neat experiences I had this week that helped me feel God's love and know that he is active in our lives! 

This last Sunday we stopped by some people's house that had been taught previously.  We weren't greeted with love, and they did not desire for us to be there... After some questions and persistence, we found out they had some false ideas about our church and what we believe and teach.  We were able to help them feel the spirit and desire to continue to learn.  At the beginning we heard them say, "I don't care what you say, you're not going to convert me." and I replied simply by saying "Good thing that's not my job, my job is to teach correct principles for you to understand them, and let the spirit convert."  And that the spirit did do.  By the end of the visit, they were understanding the truths of the gospel.  They wanted to be baptized again by proper authority!  It was really cool to see the spirit work through them. 

Another experience is when I served in Hershey (A LOOOONG TIME AGO)  There were some kids that were riding bikes and popping wheelies so I decided to video one of them and it was cool and fun and I never saw them again.  Until I was in Harrisburg this week and we taught this mom and her son.  He said he met missionaries in Hershey a long time ago but never saw any since.  I told him it was me and it was really cool to see that God had us cross paths again!  They accepted a baptismal date and really felt and understood the spirit!

I just want to bear testimony that I know that Jesus Christ lives and that He loves each of us individually and perfectly.  He understands us and will help us.  Turn to your Heavenly Father for guidance and he will show you the way.  I know that this is the Lord's kingdom on the earth and that this is exactly where I need to be right now.  I love each of you and leave this testimony with you in Christ's name! 

Have a good Valentine's Day! 

Talk to you next week!
