Well everything last week was amazing. The trainings were great. It's pretty much teaching us how to do the things they tell us to do in Preach My Gospel. It's a lot more relying on the Spirit. So it's an amazing experience. Even just doing them in role plays, the Spirit is strong and we can find out the needs of the investigators. It's sick. To answer your questions real quick, p-days are still on wednesday for now. There's been some talk of having them Monday's, but we'll see where that goes. And President Atkinson is the first counselor in the mission presidency. Anyways, the family that we've been teaching and hoping would get baptized last Saturday didn't get baptized. But they are going to be baptized this Saturday. So I'm excited for that. And then on Monday night last week we stopped by a former investigator. She had some dreams about missionaries coming by and talking to her about church, but she has been going to a Christian church for a while and really active in it. So in the dream she told them the same stuff she always told us, that "I have my own church and I don't need to change." Then she had another one talking to them again and in it they were talking to her about church, and she says "I have my own and I study out of this, and this is the only weapon I need" and she reached down to pull out a Bible but instead was holding up a blue book. The Book of Mormon. And so we're starting to teach her again, and hoping to get her baptized her pretty soon. Then with the less-active lady with the 9 year old, we stopped by her and talked to her. Elder Cannon talked to the little girl while I talked to the mom. I applied the trainings we received and by the end she was crying and telling me about how she doesn't feel worthy to pray and all that. A lot of the stuff going on in her life. So that was a pretty good experience. Before we left we kneeled down and I asked her to offer a prayer. It was amazing. We have an appointment with her tonight. I'm not going to be able to be there though because I have some exchanges. But anyways yesterday I was on exchanges and my companion followed up on some referrals, and apparently he ran into some people that are pretty interested in learning more about the gospel. So I'm stoked about seeing how those turn out. It should be a pretty good month. Then yesterday we had interviews with the President Winn. Those went pretty well. He asked all of us to think about things we need to improve. So he asked me what my 3 things were, and I told him. Then he talked to me about becoming a zone leader. So I don't know. We'll see how that goes. Well that's about all I can think about right now.
