Hello Everyone!

 

This week we taugt Chris Martin about the Restoration of the Priesthood. He is preparing to receive the Melkezidic, I can't spell, Priesthood. He is really going well. He is super good, he was taking notes as we taught him. And to be honest, I learned alot as well. His wife Kim, got her patrichel blessing yesterday. Kim has been super excited about it for awhile. And now she has that revelation from God about her life. It made me think about my patriachel blessing, and do I treasure it up as much as she has? I looked at mine again.

Tuesday we got a special training from our zone leaders. We are the only stake in the mission that got this training on family history. We learned how to find a family name in only 5 minutes. It is super easy it's only like 4 steps, then you found your great grandpa, or someone. So I tried it, I looked up my grandpa's dad, my great grandpa Schmitt. It didn't take more than 5 mintues to find him. family history is so easy!

That night, we went to our investigator Kyle's home. He invited us over for tea. As he was fixing it, we got a chance to talk with his partner and kids. They are 3 and 5 and have lots of energy:) The partner was telling us how she thinks it would be a good thing if her and Kyle got married. It would bring more structure to the home. So we explained about the Law of chasity, and they both were okay with it. They said if that's what I need to do to get baptised! Kyle has such a strong desire to get baptised! Now his partner is taking the discussions as well:) what a miracle.

To follow along with the theme of marriage, this week we were able to help in a marriage. There was a young lady, about 20's that got married on Wednesday. The wedding was suppose to start at 3, but she showed up a bit late. I bet the groom was getting a bit nervous ;) The wedding was super nice. It was small and they both were very happy with how it went. We helped  out on what they called the love treee. It was an idea Penny got off of pinterest. You put your thumb print on the tree and help it blossom.

Carrying along with that theme. Since Friday was Valentine's day, we decided to go finding with Law of Chastity pamphlets. It worked. We stopped this lady and asked her about families. She was a school teacher and had wondered about Mormons. She knew that Brandon Flowers, lead singer of the Killers, was a mormon. So we gave her a mormon. org card and challenged her to look it up. We also told her about some of the olympians that are mormons. She seemed very interested,

I got this brillent idea Thursday to make potato casserole. I followed the recipe exactly, but it didn't turn out anywhere close to what I am use to. My companion thought I was insane making something called potato casserole. He said it must be a typical Idaho thing;) I just laughed. Because I love it. Next Sunday we are celebrating the chapel being in Stockport 50 years! It will be a great opportunity for missionary work.

 

I love you all!
