Cut Hair

You know that moment you are up late talking to your companion and discussing deep life questions and you both just decide to cut your hair? Yeah that was our week. :) we had the pleasure of going on three splits this week. Where we were able to help the sisters make new goals for their areas and learn knew ways of taking to people about the gospel. Although it was a little bit exhausting it was still worth it, because we learned so much from each of the sisters. We ride a train for about 2 hours to get to a lot of the sisters so it does take allot of time, but heavenly father helps us out in our area. Lot. And it seems like he makes the little time that we do have in our area that much more effective!

Small story, :) we had planned on doing a small street display in Heidelberg early this week, but once we got there it started pouring... Logic tells you to pack up camp and go somewhere else, at no one would want to talk to you anyways.... But we decided to stay anyways. We even brought Patrick along and he helped us talk to people. As we talked to people in the pourin rain we stopped many many people who were legitimately interested in learning more. The next few days we had all the appointments that we set up... And one man who we actually thought was pretty flakey ended up showing up with his girlfriend!!! And the lesson was fantastic. He ended up asking us question after question and later in the week as we were meeting with his girlfriend, we committed her to be baptized on the 8th of November!!! Anyways that just showed me not to try and judge myself who is ready for the gospel.

This week we had our zone conference as well, which was fantastic, I was able to lead a discussion about baptism, and it just hit home to me today, why baptism with the correct authority is so important. It is the first step to a host of blessings that Heavenly Father is waiting tongue us!

Anyways, I hope that you all have a great week Love you all Sister Shurts
