Because of Him

Well this week has been a pretty good week. We had Zone Conference this week and they showed this video called Because of Him we had not seen it but it is a Mormon message that the church aired around Easter. You need to really watch it. It is the best video ever. Check it out at www.mormon.org/becauseofhim.

I can't believe that we are starting week 5 of this transfer. My time with sister minyard is more then like going to be over soon. I am kinda bummed about that. Sister Minyard thinks that she is going to stay in fredericktown. So the other day sister minyard says to me so I have only had to speak in church once since being on my mission. Then like the next day later we get a call asking us to give a training at the relief society enrichment then on Thursday night our branch president call us and asked both of us to speak this sunday on the same subject then 10 mins later our district leader calls and asks sister minyard to give the training at our district meeting this Thursday. Well sister minyard see what you get for voicing that you hadn't been asked to speak now look at what all we get to do. Well trying to prepare a talk while your on your mission is different then I was use to oh and having no time to do it is always interesting but it went ok. I survived. You all know how much I love speaking. NOT. Oh and guess what we got asked to now teach the gospel doctrine class in 2 weeks. So word of advice don't say you really enjoy speaking and how you really haven't' gotten a change to do it in a long time because the lord will make it more then happen and beyond. Oh well it is good for me right.

This week we had exchanges with the sister trainer leaders. I stayed in fredericktown with and sister sabey came with me. I was kinda nervous because this was the first time I was going to be staying in my area and when you stay you are the one who is kinda in charge because you know the people and the area. But it went really well. I loved getting to be with sister sabey for a day. She is such a great missionary. I got to drive a car for the first time since the end of February. Oh man it is different driving after you haven't driven in a while and when it is not your car it is the missions you it is a little freaky because you don't want to do anything to possibly have anything happen to it. But no dints or dings happen while I was driving it.

We have been seeing the members get more excited to help us in our work. Pretty much all the time when ever we see them they are asking us who and what we are teaching our investigators. Since we have been in the fredericktown area we have seen a change in the members and the missionary work in this area. They are really more fired up about missionary work. Branch council the other week was all about missionary work and what they can do. It is such a change from when we first got to the area!

I love being out here and seeing and feeling a difference everyday!

I hope you all have a great week. Enjoy memorial day.
