Well isn't that a pretty good incentive to exercise in the morning-me.

This quote comes from our zone conference this week.  We found out that all of the cars in the mission will be going away (yes mom we will be safe).  Any way as we were being told this, our mission president was telling us how we can attract curiosity.  He said our best tool was the name tag.  Everyone loves to read the tag, so when we

see someone looking at us, always pose and look good. Thus comes the quote above.

Story Number 1: Well, we are in the wrong area.  I am glad I brought the map.

This is what I told my temporary companion when we were walking the other day.  Some background to the story is some elders were joining us for the day to be ready for zone conference the following day because they live very far away.  We were on splits.  Whilst walking for about fifteen to twenty minutes looking for Shrew St in the area where I met this contact.  I figured I should probably check the map.  Turns out the lady was just in that area and does not live too close to where we were.  Luckily it was close enough that we could make it there and share a little bit about what we do before we had to meet the other Elders to pick us up.  Very nice family, No boys in the home though, all daughters.  What's up with that?

Story Number 2:  The Lord will let you fast

This Sunday, as it was Fast Sunday, I was fasting.  Now I started my fast late on Saturday night and wanted to do a full and complete fast.  We found out though that three different families were supposed to or wanted to feed us yesterday.  One of them rescheduled from six to two.  I was fasting at that time still.  Luckily she said I could take in a Tupperware, so that one worked out.  Then the second Lunch appointment that we had rescheduled to our last appointment that night.  I was like, whooohoo!  I can finish my fast without offending every body.  Then I remembered, oh man we still have another DA in two hours.  Well we went there we got there, and I am pretty sure the Lord wanted me to continue fasting because this lady just comes to the door and hands us a lasagna and a bag of fruit.  Then says, cook this when you get home and we will see you on Wednesday.  I was stoked.   So when fasting, there is always temptations to break it, but the Lord will always provide ways and means to help you in your purpose.

Also this week we had the baptism of the family that I talked about last week.  Included are pictures of them, me, and my companion.  It was an amazing day.

Love you all, Have a fantastic week
