The Prodigal Son (Free Agency Is A Killer...LOL)

Hey padres!

Gosh, so much happened this week I don't even know where to begin! But yes, General Conference was amazing and definitely needed. We made sure to watch it with our recent converts. One of the great talks was talking about the prodigal son and how you just love them and watch and wait for their return. I couldn't help but think of you guys and me. And I am so grateful for you guys not giving up on me, and loving me all the same. Without you guys I don't think I would be here right now.

Also I gave the invitation and got another investigator on baptismal date, and peaked her husbands interest so maybe we'll get him!

This week is going to be nuts. We scheduled out all 39 names plus our investigators, and we are going to be busy but wouldn't want it any other way!

Also this week I have been sick and I had a huge migraine on Tuesday,  so we've been getting home a little earlier than usual because I am just wiped, but lately I have been reading the New Testament and reading Jesus the Christ right along with it, and oh my gosh I have had so many answers to my questions. It just makes me think why don't people just join our church because even if you look at it logically it is the only one that makes sense haha but free agency is a killer lol.

Also I started the challenge Elder Bednar gave about start reading the Book of Mormon with a question written down, and when you finish write the answer.

Anyways, I have been good and love being here though we run across a lot of "interesting" people haha.

Oh, and Sandi, I actually printed that talk out last week haha and have been reading it! It is a good one!

I miss you guys! Love you!

I have to admit that Jorvik's email brought tears to my eyes. I love him so much and I would never, ever give up on him.  EVER!  But here's the thing....as Jorvik said, Free Agency Is A Killer. haha.  You can't force anyone to do anything.  Everyone has free agency and the ability to make their own choices.  Yes, I have encouraged and loved him and everything else... but when it comes to his testimony... that is all him.  He is on his own path to conversion and he is working all the time to be converted to the Lord. He is amazing!!!  The light just radiates from him and he is so full of goodness.  Below are two things I want to share with you.  One is a video on the Prodigal Son and the other is on free agency.  Enjoy!  and let me know if you  have questions!
