Week 92--Murray, UT

This week has been pretty sick. After a whole transfer of going out of our comfort zone and working our butts off, we are seeing some fruit!

Trent, a person who has been working with the missionaries for a year now, set a date this week! We watched Joseph Smith the prophet of the restoration with him. He picked a date. He said "I want to be baptized the 29th". We thought he was going to say the 29th of September or something. Haha! Then he clarified by saying the 29th of March! He wants to do it in a lake. Hopefully we can find a semi warm lake for him. We just have to get it cleared through a few people but we should be good.

We also picked up a new investigator named Brittany. She recently moved back from Chicago. We went over and asked her where she stood with everything. She said, "I believe it all." We asked her if she wanted to be baptized and she responded, "yeah." She is planning for the 26th of March. 

We also were able to pick up another investigator. Her name is Raquel. This was pretty cool. We met her a few days ago. While I was thinking about her I felt like I should bring up something that she had done. Anyways, when I saw her again, I said, “Thank you for her not going a little ways off to smoke." She then opened up and we started to talk to her and get to know her a lot better. We shared a Mormon message and opened up a discussion about spiritual experiences. She shared an experience of how she came to know that the God was real. She talked about the feeling she felt when she came to that realization. We told her about the things we teach and invited her to look for those same feelings as she listened to the things that we said in the first discussion. We are planning on seeing her this Tuesday.

I am very grateful for the opportunities and experiences that I have had this transfer. They have made me grow and stretch a lot. I know that there is no growth in the comfort zone. I know that God is real and that his son Jesus Christ lives and the power of his atoning sacrifice is available to "all men if it so be that they repent and come unto him." (1Nephi10)

Love yall!
