Hey everyone!
This week has been great! We have had some really cool things happen. We have been following up with a lot of people we met last week, most of them weren't home or didn't answer, but that's usually just how it goes. We have met some new people this week as well. One of them being a lady named Laura. She found us actually. She is in her 20's. She went to a Christian high school and studied other religions. She was assigned to write a paper on Mormonism. Ever since then she
has been super interested in what it's all about. It was different to her. So on her own she began to study our faith. She had been reading the Book of Mormon and even watching general conference and praying to know if these things were true. Well she got her answer. She asked her parents for their blessing to be baptized and they said yes. She then got in touch with a friend of hers who is Mormon and got things set up with us. This was all over a period of about 5 years. So we met with
her on Wednesday and had an awesome lesson. She is amazing! By far the most prepared person I have ever met. We set a date with her for May 6th. It was a huge miracle!! This week was transfer week and we had some changes within my district. We got a new district leader and we went on an exchange the second day he was here. He was actually my zone leader in the Brandon
zone. He is a super good missionary. We had a great exchange even though all of our lessons fell through. We still talked to a lot of people and had some great lessons. We are now on car share also with the Gibsonia Elders so this week we will be on bikes. Should be lots of fun! You always talk to a lot more people when you bike. I'm looking forward to this next transfer, some really good things are
happening. We are shooting for three baptisms in May. I think the ward is starting to get more missionary minded as well. Things are looking up!
Other than that we have just been doing a lot of finding this week. We had a good Easter Sunday. There were some really good talks given in sacrament. A member family had us over for dinner as well so that was nice. We went and visited a few less active families later that day and shared the Easter video with them. It went really well and we committed them to come to church next week. Lakeland is a great area with a lot of potential. It hasn't been viewed that way in the past by other missionaries. The Lord definitely blesses us for our faith and dedication. I'm so glad to be serving here at this time. This church is true, I know it. Miracles do happen today, I have seen it. If any of you reading this don't know that I encourage you to find out. I hope you all had a great Easter Sunday!! I love you all.
