It's been a while, but there are a few Shout Outs I need to get Out (hahaha)

Thank you mom for the package! We have already eaten ALL the fishy crackers haha!

Congratulations to AMY whom I love and adore! You are going to be the most amazing missionary!!!

What the heck Derek.... you are only a missionary for like another week! CRAZY!

So this week has been a little slower due to reading week and exams but thats alright!

We had been fighting to try and see Ian this past week. He had been swamped with projects AND was going back home for reading week which would have meant that we would be going 2 weeks without seeing him which wasnt ok. Thankfully we were persistent enough and on thursday he met us at a street corner on campus so that we could give him a movie to watch over the break and a letter we wrote him. While talking to him on the sidewalk I informed him that when he got back from reading week he would only have one more week before his baptism so he should start thinking of who he wants to baptism him etc.... As soon as I mentioned that, Ian started to get scared. He told me that March 1st wasnt for sure yet. I reminded him of his prayer and asked if he has felt that God is guiding him towards baptism. He told us that one of the reasons he said that prayer was cause we asked him to and then brought up some science stuff.... I feel that he has concerns that run deeper than what he tells us. I feel like all the stuff about science is just a cover for something, but Im not sure what and the spirit hasnt enlightened us yet... Keep praying for him it is all in the Lords time :)

This week Winnie gave her first talk, or she calls it speech, in church! We challenged her to invite a friend so she invited Jake's housemate Nick and he ended up coming! She did such an amazing job! I feel like a proud mother haha!

Sister Hall getting her hair cut by Jake! Thanks Winnie:) -J

Nick, the guy who came to church, is absolutely amazing. He is also the housemate of Jakes who told him to just get baptized that one lesson a few moths ago. It was a sign that Jake was looking for! Nick is a sweetheart and has always supported Jake in joining the church. He even came to both his baptism AND his confirmation. When ever we come over he always comes out to say hi to us and will sit in and listen but is still adamant that there is no God. Well we finally convinced Nick to do the stop smoking workshop the other night so last night we went over to do it with him but ended up just talking about his life and why he doesn't believe in God. It was almost an hour long! Near the end we invited him to hear the message we share and see why we are always so happy. He accepted the invitation and we are SO excited to start teaching him! He is SO cool! I just pray the Heavenly Father will soften his heart so that he will be open to the message :)

Line of the Week: Talking to Jay our YSA sunday school teacher

Me: "Hey do you think that you could invite Ian to your next D&D night?"

Jay: "Ya for sure, I'll just have to check with my dungeon master first."

Me: "Bahahahah! yaaa ok ;)"

Jay: "No, seriously I'd have to check."

Me: "...oh... ya, if you could do that that would be awesome!"

Scripture of the week: 2 Nephi 9:7

"Wherefore, it must needs be an infinite atonement- save it should be an infinite atonement this corruption could not put on incorruption. Wherefore, the first judgment which came upon man must needs have remained to an endless duration. And if so, this flesh must have laid down to rot and to crumble to its mother earth, to rise more."

A Haiku for you

Love you all! Stay good and invite a friend to church!

Y.O.S.O
