Well another week has come and gone and not much has changed. I did read the Book of Mormon some more this week and I am on the last chapter of Mosiah! Super excited to start reading Alma tomorrow. I also started to read the New Testament. I am trying to finish that this transfer. I read the story of Alma the younger this week though. I love that story. I was thinking about it and it shows how big of an influence friends have on you. Alma and his four friends were going around trying to destroy the church. They were all trying to do the same thing. Then when they changed and all that stuff. They all started to do good things. They ended up becoming awesome missionaries! It is so cool. It goes to show that your friends have a huge influence on you! It is crazy! I am so thankful for the friends that I have and the good influence they are to me. Most of my friends are out there on missions too and it is really awesome to hear from them every week. I am even lucky enough to have one of my good friends here in my mission. I love my friends. I love my family too. Don't worry family.
So this week something really awesome happened! We taught this one crazy lady and her kids. Her kids then told us that there friend was interested in listening to us and her mom too. We were like alright. So we went over to the house and this lady answered the door. She was a member from Bolivia. She was baptized about 8 years ago in another ward in our mission. She was baptized in Alexandria. She is the only member of her family. Her husband goes to another church. So what happened was that her and her husband would fight about where their kids would go to church until one day they decided that they were both just going to stop going to church so that there would be no fighting. That was about 3 or 4 years ago. Then 2 years ago she moved here to sterling and didn't know where the church was or anything until we found her. We had a lesson with her last night and she told us how it is time for her to go back to church with her daughters. She said she doesn't know it her husband is going to understand, but she is going to do it. She said she would come to church next week too. We are way excited for them!
Well I hope you all have a great week and you guys are all way awesome! Love you guys!
