Another Week Here in KC‏

Another Week Here in KC: February 24th, 2014

Dear Family and Friends,

I hope you made it a great week, because Elder Grzan and I did!

This week was interesting, but Elder Grzan and I made the most of it. Our miracle investigator, Amy called us and informed us that she has been caught up in Georgia because of work and will be there for the next month. Gotta love having trips ruin baptismal dates! I fear that this will become a plague for me for the rest of my mission sometimes. We have a lot of hope and faith in Amy. She is living with a member and going to church with her, so the gospel is still very much present in her life. I'll let you know when she returns and how everything goes, but she is still progressing towards baptism!

We've found a ton of new investigators this week and guess what, some of them are Spanish speaking! It's terrifyingly exciting to teach people that don't speak your native tongue. I love learning and hope that my language skills don't hinder the message of the Restoration. Our mission president always implores us to open our mouths and that the Lord will give you what to say. I always say a silent prayer walking into lessons that this promise will not only help me with the gospel, but that it might extend to Spanish as well.

Other highlights from the week. Yesterday we had three dinners, one with a member, one with a less active, and one with an investigator. I never knew that I might be tested this way physically on my mission, but I am definitely improving how much food I can keep down without vomiting. Oh, and one of our investigators gave me a guitar this week. I turned it down for three lessons and by the last one he said that if I didn't take it he wasn't going to continue meeting with us. #StatesideMissionProbs My apologies to all the missionaries in third world countries. I really truly do have it so hard here.

Attached is a picture of me and the guitar and the RLDS temple by the Stake Center that we meet at. It's always takes so long to explain to people that it isn't our temple. Ours is the one in Liberty with the Spirit surrounding it.

Make it a great week! Use your time wisely and have fun!

In the words of Elder James Kendell, "Praise Jesus!"
