Another week in "Monlove"

We don't have much time this week, so I'll hit the highlights.

P-day was Tuesday so we went over and hit up the Duck Commander and Rebel store. It was fun to see all the Duck Dynasty stuff, I'll have to actually watch some of it when I get home now!

M_____ had a couple speed bumps this week, but is doing better now. She is growing and it's part of her conversion to the Restored Gospel. She went to Stake Conference Saturday and loved it, she said that she felt great after and was happy she went. We continue to pray for her and want to help her progress.
V_____ made it back from Utah! We were able to see her this last week and hear all about her trip. She is doing well and really seeking to find the truth. We talked about God and our relationship with him and how we came to know him. Coming from a Catholic background, a lot of what we share is new with her. But with her willingness and sincerity, I know God can lead her down the right path.
We were at Sonic the other night and found this guy named A______. We contacted him while he was walking past and got to now him a little bit. He shared a lot of experiences with us when we met with him and found out he has had a rough life. We promised him peace through the Book of Mormon and help. I know he can feel that as I have in my own life.

Exchanges with the AP's earlier in the week was a blast. We were able to teach only a few people, but we contacted a few others. It was fun to talk to Elder Beckstrom, still crazy to think if I hadn't gone home I would be going home with him in a couple of weeks. It was a blast though! I also got to go with Elder Davidson in the District serving with us here in the North Area of Monroe. It was my first time leading the area, so I got to test my knowledge a little, but it was fun. We continued to laugh together the whole time and taught a lot of people.

I know it's short but really among all the feeling, I am happy here. Every hour and minute we are going, which keep me on my toes.. but I love it! "Have a Blessed week!" We are hitting it hard here in Monlove, finishing strong and it's the BEST! 
 
With love and hugs,
