Transfer 5 Week 3

This week I got Elder Atkinson sick. I was sick for about half the week and then when I started to get better, he came down with the sickness. Theres been something going around here, because it seems like a lot of people have been sick these past few weeks. I'm feeling mostly better but I still have a constant cough.

On Wednsday we had a 6 hour meeting in Madison. It was fun to see a lot of missionaries gathered together in the same building and it was really nice to see some old friends. One thing I liked from the meeting was a remark that Sister Cutler said. The spirit is the same. That hit me because a lot of the time I think, "man it would be great if we could just have an apostle or the prophet in a lesson with us, because they would know everything to say and it would be soo much easier." Well, with that remark it made me realize that the spirit is the same. No matter who its coming from. You could have Elder Eyring in the lesson and he could say and speak all this stuff but the feeling the investigator gets would be the same. Because its the same exact spirit. Pretty neat.

After the meeting we went as a district to Chick Fil A. Perfect. 

We got a Media Referral this week from this 15 year old Hispanic girl named Yosseline. Her aunt and cousins are members of the church and her aunt had her go online and request us to come see her. We had a great first contact lesson with her. Shes pretty interested in learning more and I'm really excited to start teaching her. 

We had a great lesson with Kyle this week at Tonys Pizza. We had a pretty powerful lesson with him over some pizza so it was pretty great.. Lots of people are out of town this week because school starts in like 2 weeks so everyone's on vacation. We've been able to talk with Dorthea but shes been out of town helping a friend so we havent been able to meet with her for a couple weeks. 

We were able to go to The Moyer's farm again this week and play with the goats and kangaroos so that was fun. We also went to Brother Bricketts for his annual Garden Party where he has 300+ feet of model rail road track, where he has a little model train running along in circles.  It was pretty neat... 

Anyways, It was a pretty good week for being sick. I love and miss you all!
