Honestly, I don't know why all the snow is coming here to Michigan and not to Utah. It is ridiculous. We got another 5 inches in the last couple of days and to think last week a couple of the days were high 40's. God has a funny sense of humor.
This week we had so many lesson but so many of them cancelled on us. It was kind of sad, but it all worked out as we had tons of things to do and we wanted to find more people to teach!
We had a great couple of lessons with Andrew. He is just amazing. He is starting to build his own testimony of Jesus Christ and the restored gospel. This week we talked a lot about the Earth life and why it is important and what the point of us being here is. He was able to make connections and it helped him realize more of God's plan for him. We also talked to him more about baptism. Right now he is praying on a day to get baptized. His girlfriend still isn't really on board with the whole him meeting with missionaries thing, but it is really good because he tells her that he needs to find out for himself.
We also had interviews this week. Let me just say President Brennan thinks he is so funny all the time. He took me back for my interview and just starts making comments left and right about me going home. We would start talking about something and then he would make a snide comment like, "Did you know that you have exactly 4 weeks today till you go home?" I would just look at him and be like are you serious and then he would say, "Sorry I will stop giving you crap in 4 weeks because you won't be here anymore." But don't worry, he told me that he would greatly appreciate if I extended for another 6 months, and I said I would gladly. After I fly home say hi to everyone and then come back. He has been stressing a little bit lately because he is loosing 23 missionaries this transfer and more than half of them are in leadership. haha he set himself up for this one especially after keeping Sister Larsen and I together.
We went on trade-offs with St. Joseph. I was with Sister Christensen. She is super cute. She is from a small town named Cove Utah and has been out for about 5 months. We were able to pick up a new investigator for them, their area has been struggling this last few months so that was really exciting that we were able to do that.
Church on Sunday was so great. The 1st and 2nd ward cancelled there church because of the snow. So we had some random people from their wards join us at the KUB. It made for a lively bunch of people. Some amazing testimonies were given as well.
I was reading a talk called Vast and Intimate: The Atonement in the Heavens and in the Heart it was a talk given at BYU and I loved it. I love hearing stories that are related to the gospel and he shares a lot of them. but he is talking about our Savior and his atonement and how God gives us challenges and He won't always prevent the pains and afflictions but he gives us these assurances. Mosiah 24:14, Alma 31:38 and Alma 36:3.
I love you all. I want you to know that I know that God Lives. That Jesus is the Christ and that his atonement is really. That we are all on a journey through life to prepare ourselves to meet our maker again. I know that we all make mistakes but because of the atonement we can become pure and clean again.
I hope you all have a splendid week. OH and one last side note. The time is soon coming.. My homecoming is March 11th at 1pm.
The address to the church is:
2556 West 9800 South

Love,
