This week was awesome and kinda crazy.

Tues - We met with a guy named Kim who said that he was visited by Joseph Smith in the form of a bird in the backyard today. I asked him how he knew it was Joseph Smith and he said he just knew it was him.

Wed - was really good, we had a meeting with our mission president called MLC. It was great but like 7 hours long. Then we met with the Stake presidency that night to talk about the missionary efforts in the stake
 
After a long day of meetings

Thur - We did service for a Catholic Nunnery. We talked to a couple people just about their beliefs and one guy named Paul talked with us for about 30 min. He said that he has always been interested in religion and wanted to know more about the Mormons. He lives right down the street from a church building and a lot of neighbors were members but nobody had talked with him about the church, so he eventually approached one of his neighbors and asked for a Book of Mormon. Then he read the whole thing. It was a good testimony to me that there are people out there who are ready and are seeking the knowledge, we just have to open our mouths. There is no doubt that Paul would have accepted a Book of Mormon much sooner if his neighbors had reached out and he would be much farther along on his path to discipleship.

Fri - We went to 2 district meetings to try to get to know the Zone better. Then our ward mission leader made us BBQ, so that was nice.

Sat - We helped setup for the Raytown farmers market. Then every Saturday morning we go to a member who lives right next to us and make him breakfast. He has MS and is in a wheel chair. His name is Patrick Murphy, he has a lot of character and I'm sure you will be hearing a lot about him. We had a couple really cool lessons today, it is amazing to be the instrument in doing the Lord's work. I am so grateful for the blessings God has given me that has allowed me to be on a mission at this time.

Sun - We had two investigators, Jeff and Jo, come to church and they had a great time. We had a whole other family that was going to come, but they didn't, so that was sad. 

Overall it was a great week. I love being a missionary and the Lord is so good to us and I know that this is His work.
 
Thank you for all the support that you give me, I couldn't do it without you!
