This week I traded my blonde-haired,
Rapunzel companion for a blazing red-headed companion (pictures next week) by
the name of Sister Houser. She is a great missionary and has progressed
the work a lot. We have 3 with baptismal dates and it is the first time
since I'm been here that we have had so many.
We pick up a new investigator
this week and she is so cool. Every time we come over she feeds us and it
is usually super healthy and good. She was taught by the missionaries ten
years previously and wasn't baptized because she couldn't stop smoking. The
lesson was amazing as the spirit was filling the room as we gave the First Vision
lesson. Afterwards she couldn't believe she hadn't accepted this before
and committed to be baptized. It was an amazing moment and she was so
excited.
I loved conference so much
especially, the talk by President Uchtdorf on gratitude. It made me realize
that if I want to be happy in this life I need to go around with a thankful
heart. My companion shared a story with me about a woman that was going
through a really hard part of her life and was falling into depression, but
instead of praying for her needs she began to thank God for what he had given
her and the miracle of happiness started to come into her life.
