Week 37

Jacob's feet...emailing on the floor!!

Wellllll I can't believe we get to talk in a week!!!! I'm soooooo pumped! It's going to be the best. It's crazy that this is my second Skype already. Time seems to be flying out here. Maybe not back home haha but it is here. Sam is almost done and it sometimes freaks me out to be honest. It seems like just yesterday that we were at the airport sending him off to Mexico but then I realize we did the same thing for me. I hope all is well back home. School is almost over which is insane! There are a few more weeks in the lacrosse season, and it's almost summer. And lots of people are getting their calls. I swear I was at east like 3 months ago getting my call. I really have been kind of freaking out about is sometimes haha.

So this week has been pretty good!!!!! The zone had 3 baptisms this week which has been super super sick! Everyone was super prepared and ready for baptism so it has been such an awesome week! We have lost contact with a few of our really solid investigators which has been a bummer but we will find them haha. So I feel bad I haven't told you about one of our investigators the last few weeks but I will tell you now. Her name is V and she is 16. Elder Fisher found her in this area last summer before he trained me in Bedford. Anyways, she is super super good. She loves the gospel so much and she really has such powerful testimony. Her whole family is not too keen on the church and has read some things online and they will not let her be baptized until she is 18. We see her a few times a week and almost every night her mom either yells at her about the church or won't talk to her. But her testimony and faith don't waiver. It's been such an example to me. She will even cry in our lessons and express how hard it is but that she is willing to do all she can to keep coming to church and living the gospel. She talks about turning 18 and being baptised and serving a mission. She is such an example to all the missionaries. So keep her in your prayers. She's got a while until she is 18 but she really is so great.

Jacob's Zone

So the rest of the week has been good. We had two baptisms in our ward and it was great. We are in a 4 man flat and the other elders were super happy. One of them is from Norway who is training the other elder who is from Star Valley Wyoming. They are super awesome and we have such a good time. I love 4 man flats haha it's going to be strange leaving it one day.

Lords Hand

So I have seen the Lords Hand this week in our investigator V. She really has been an example to me of being so committed to the gospel even when our situations can conflict with our beliefs and standards. She will be an amazing missionary one day. I have also seen the Lords Hand in President and Sister Stevens. We had interviews this last week and they really do just love every single missionary so much. And I can really feel it. They were defiantly called here for a reason.

I love you guys so much! I miss you and I hope school comes to a finish very fast hahaha. It still blows my mind it's almost summer. Have a great week. Next time I hear from you will be on Mother's Day!!!!!!! SOOOO STOKED

No short cuts
