I am doing a little better just taking it one day at a time.
 
We have had quite a few more miracles this past week one happened on Tuesday night. As we were planning we planned to call by a potential investigator at 2:30. So on Wednesday we called by a member that we had set up a meeting with and had a really good lesson. After we asked her about some of the people we were going to see. She told us about them so we kind of changed our plans to go and see them. As we were walking down the street we stopped to talk to a woman. We had a really good talk with her she said that she had met the elders before and that she believed in Jesus and felt that she was on the right path. We were able to get her name and address and set up a time to come by the next day to teach her. After she left we realized that her name and address sounded really familiar. We looked at our planners and there it was her name and address at 2:30 on Wednesday. So we saw her at the exact same time that we had set in our planners that night before. It was absolutely spirit led. We went by the next day but she was not in so we are going to try by again.
 
There was another one yesterday. We got on a bus at a different time then we thought we would and as we were walking to the back of the bus two girls saw our badges and said that they have always wanted to ask what they were for. So we were able to tell them. The time came for us to get off the bus and we said good by and that we were going to kill an hour. We got of the bus and sat down to make a plan. We looked back at the bus and the two girls got off and came over to us and said that they had an hour to kill as well they might as well kill it with us. We were able to share the message of the Restoration with them and gave them a Book of Mormon. It was so amazing to see the Lord guiding us to where he needs us.
 
Thank you for telling me that I haven't really felt like an example!
 
We have not been able to meet with him again but we called by and spoke to his mother. She said that they were still waiting for her results.
 
Yes we have been teaching him!!! It has been going really well. We are teaching him again tonight.
 
The YSA are taking us to a Castle today!!! I am excited!!!
 
The ward members are really great!!!!! They are a lot like the Chorley Ward. We have quite a few meals but Sister Clawson and I do cook every once and a while. Good thing our parents taught us well. We have made some chicken dinners that have looked amazing!!! We both said that we don't think the Elders ever eat like this when they have to cook for themselves. hehe
 
Sister Clawson and I have been doing an experiment off of the talk by Richard G. Scott. We each picked a scripture.  During the day if we start thinking about worldly things we would read that scripture and it would help us focus and keep the spirit with us. It has been an amazing experiment. Last week my scripture was D&C 121:7-9. This week is Helaman 5:47.It is a great way to remember the Savior and to memorize scriptures!!!!
 
Love you tons.
