The Lord Qualifies Those He Calls

Me and the Turtle I almost killed on my bike, his name is Larry

Well it is only five days since the last time I emailed...but there is still a lot of stuff that happened this week!!

The AP's were gone at interviews so we didn't do a whole lot for PDay!!

We went to dinner that night at a members house. He invited a less active over and we testified powerfully of the importance of Church attendance!! It was pretty awesome!!

On Thursday we weren't seeing any huge miracles until we decided to go visit a member!! I never visited him when I was with Elder Frandsen, and on top of that I barely knew the guy! I sent a text in the morning asking if we could come over and he said he would love it! When we got over that night he immediately said he wanted a blessing and some counsel! It was pretty cool to be able to be the Lords hands, everyday of course but especially that night!!

Friday we had exchanges with the ZL's! The first part of the day we were at the Mission Home moving furniture around for the contractors, so that was pretty cool I guess!!

Me and Elder Hansen saw a sort of Investigator that owns a store in our area! We got talking to him for a while and he actually said out loud that he kinda wanted to be a Mormon! Even if he doesn't become a member anytime soon, I know that the desire is deep in his heart! That was pretty flippin cool!!

Saturday was another Hot-lanta Day here in Georgia!! We were finding for most of the day, and even though we didn't actually find anyone, we were given 4 water bottles! So I do know that the Lord is watching over us through these wonderful southerners!!

We followed up with a guy named Udera afterwards! He and his family were heading out for the day but we were able to get a few words in! We explained that we believed in modern day prophets, and he seemed to really understand!! We invited him to church as well and he said he would come the following sunday!

In the night we went to a Ramadon celebration with twenty other missionaries including Pres. and Sister Foote!! They recognized us for all the white shirts and there a lot of people that were there that accepted us, at least for that night!! It was way cool!!

Yesterday (Sunday) was one of the best and worst days of my mission!! They released the Bishop of the Fayetteville Ward and none of us knew it was gonna happen!! It was super sad to see, and I even started to tear up a little bit when we gave him a vote of thanks!! He has done more for missionaries than any other person in any of the Wards!! I was talking to Elders Ashcraft and Elsholz and they both said he was their favorite bishop!! He is so full of Light!! I am so grateful I got to serve with him for a few months!!

There were many times during this week that Satan was doing all he could to get me down!! I know that on my own, I don't even qualify to 'loose the shoes on the Savior's feet', but how thankful I am to be a representative instead. No matter how much I mess up, he forgives. What a miracle! What a gift!!

Love yall
