^^SEEDS PLANTED^^SEEDS GROWN^^

Pretty dang goodly week!! The only lame things was the weather was being bipolar. One day this week it got upwards of 90 degree's, then the next day it was in the 40's. So lame, but other than that!!

Pday, we played ultimatum frisbay so that was a great time!! It was so hot, and I really felt the extra 25+ lbs that I gained since I've been out!! WHOOHOO!!

Tuesday was HOT HOT HOT!!! That's pretty much all I can say about that!!

Wednesday was arsome!! We wont to the one and only trailer park in the Fayetteville Area and found 5 potentials and followed up with an investigators who we are having a lesson with today!! 

Later that night we asked Terry if she would read Alma 32 with different commitments and things in mind. We found out later on that she had been reading with a member that lives in North/South Carolina!! President Foote has asked us just in the last few weeks to have members read with investigators and she was doing it on her own over skype!! That was cool!!

On Thursday Terry came to our Ward's bible study class!! It was awesome to see the Members reach out to her so easily!! She also talked about how she didn't feel the spirit when she was baptized, and she said she wanted the gift of the Holy Ghost!! She also also said she felt like the 'Mormons' were persecuted the same way that Jesus Christ was while he was here on Earth!! That was a "Whaaaat?" moment for me!! 

Saturday there was a baptism for a ysa named Melanie!! The spirit was very strong there and I always get pumped up just attending!!

Sunday was muy muy!! It was the 2nd time that I had a real sacrament meeting in the Fayetteville area because of all the Conferences that have been going on in the Stake!!

I got a message late last night from Jody Lee (the guy I was teaching that had all the trials in Centerville) saying 'Thank you for everything, my Baptism was wonderful!' I had mixed emotions because I was super happy he was baptized, but flippin Elder Braun didn't tell me anything!! I asked him last week, "how is Jody doing?" And the only response was, "He's doing good!!" There was no, "Oh ya he is getting baptized this Sunday" or anything, just totally silent about the whole thing. I called him up with the AP's permission and chastised him for not telling me!! What the actual poop!!!!!!

Anyway, I am still kinda salty from all of that but what'evs!! 

On a more spiritual note!!

It is an incredible feeling having the opportunity in this life to see how the seeds you've planted have blossomed and grown. Not everybody gets to look back and see that in their missions, so I am grateful that through it all, all the struggles and the joyous moments over these last 8 months, it was all leading to this moment. I am grateful that this is truly "my finest hour." (Wynston Churchill/Talmage Thayne)

Love yall!! Happy Spring!!
