As always, hope y'all had a great week, we found out that the big'ol hurricane that was coming for us is going to swoop up to North Carolina, so that was nice. Hope all goes well up there. Also, got to go to the temple this week, more on that later though. I saw some stores putting out Halloween decorations, and I stopped dead in my tracks. Can't believe Summer is wrapping up already, it's nuts. I once again used a lot of time with other things today, and so have very little to type (only like 40 min). We did make some cool progress with some people though!
Fisrt off, we didn't really meet anyone new this week worth explaining. Don't get me wrong, most were pretty cool, but most if not all were not very serious about when we could come back, but hey, never know. We did get to talk to Chris some more, and he is still awesome! Most of our progress this week was with members though. First off, we saw the Kiner family again, including Matt, and it turns out, he had a seizure, so that's why they went silent. No permanant reprecussions though, thankfully. We went over and gave him and his mother a blessing (she was still in a bit of shock, and it was 4 days after he got outta the hospital). Also, we have been meeting with a man named Ken Davison every week on Friday, and missionaries have been going by for a looooong time, he just has never really been able/willing to act on what they/we shared, even though he knew he needed it. Well, some stuff happened last week, and we all had the oppurtuninty to feel the Spirit hit like a freight train. He suddenly promised he would show up to church, and then we set a goal to get him to the temple! And better yet, he showed up on Sunday!!! And 2/3 talks in sacrament were about the temple, and the lesson in Priesthood Chorum was about Enduring to the End, so the temple came up a ton, and he really enjoyed it all! It was incredible!
And last but not least: the Temple! It was such an amazing experience. I had my testmony of that building and the work that goes on in there intensified 100x this week. I don't have much ese to say. It was absolutely amazing, and I kick myself in the butt every time I think about how many times I missed the chance to go to th temple back home, because I just didn't realize why I should. But I can't wait now for the chance to go every moment I get. I'm sure you have all heard i all about the temple, but its true! It is the Lord's house, you can recieve answers there unlike anywhere else, every worry and care can melt away as you bask in His love and peace, Its. Awesome. Please all y'all, go whenever you can! Love y'all! Thanks for everything you do, your prayers for me are creating miracles, Ive seem them! LOVE Y'ALL! Have an awesome week!
