nothing too out of the ordinary this week except we're feeling more and more comfortable in our area! i don’t even need the GPS most of the time :) we even got 22 lessons this week!! elder perry promised us if we teach 20 lessons a week our baptisms would double. our first 2 weeks here we were only at like 13 or 14 since we didn't have a teaching pool. but the Lord is blessing us! we don't have any progressing investigators, but we had some amazing tracting experiences! we had 6 lessons on the doorstep (where they let us have an opening and closing prayer and we teach them and invite them to learn more.) only 1 of those agreed to a return appointment, but they were spiritual experiences and i know the people will remember them. we have a church tour this week with a family with 3 little kids! i hope it goes well. we are loving the ward more and more...wonderful members. we spoke in sacrament meeting yesterday! it as a farewell for a kid in the ward. so he spoke, then sister L bore her testimony (she did a great job with english), then we had a rest hymn, then i was the concluding speaker....there were 35 minutes left in the meeting!! haha. but i filled them! i wondered if i could but it seemed like the perfect amount of time. i spoke on the connections between missionary work, conversion, and sacrifice, and how they all relate to the Atonement. i hadn't had a chance to prepare until 10:10 pm on saturday night, but i really felt like the Lord just plopped ideas into my head. what a miracle. i hope the congregation didn't get bored since i had to talk so long. i thought of both andrew and the moffats giving their homecoming talks just a few minutes after i finished. i'm glad andrew did so well. i can't believe he's home. crazy. well i'm going to send this off...if i think of any amazing stories i'll add it in a minute :) love you all!!
sister gibbos (haha typo...but i thought i'd leave it...awesome)
