This week was great we had 4 lessons that where just down right power full the spirit was unbelievable and of course fun hahahaha everything is fun as a missionary (almost everything but its all worth it). One of them was a lady who was visiting friends here and said she was ready to be baptized almost 20 plus years later after she was introduced to the gospel. She wants to be sealed to her husband who passed on already and had his work done by some friends who are members. We got to teach her the first two lessons the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the Plan of Salvation. it was so amazing after the first lesson we committed her to pray and ask if Joseph smith is a prophet and if the book of Mormon is true and of course if Jesus Christ is the savior and author of the restoration. She prayed and she got her answer that it is all true. it was so sweet in that room a 70 year women learned the most important things of her life and we were there to witness it.  How amazing.! The elders in her hometown in Idaho will be meeting with her soon.

My ponderize scripture is 1 nephi chapter 16 verse 4 

 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, did exhort my brethren, with all diligence, to keep the commandments of the Lord.

 I love this and I felt a little guilty when I read it I started to ask well I can't be as good as nephi then I remembered the  verse just before that says "....wherefore, the guilty taketh the truth to be hard, for it cutteth them to the very center."  so yeah I need to be more diligent so I am reading the talk Act in All Diligence by Elder Eyring is so amazing. If we could all just exhort our brethren and sisters to be better and closer to god how amazing would that be ! 

love yall
