yeah we haven't had much of a break but thats ok! we've been able to see the work progress so much because of that! we've been working pretty hard these past few weeks and have been able to see the lords hand in our lives so much. we were able to go to the temple this weekend on saturday and was just what i needed and also what i didn't need. i was doing pretty well spiritually and then i go to the temple and then satan sees that im happy and just comes in and shuts me down! ha just totally makes me contentious and just lazy and not wanting to do anything so we were like we just have to get out of the house and go walk around and it was super nice out side. it was 60-65 degrees and it had just rained and the weather was nice. just a few mists of rain here and there. over all i am glad i was able to get out and see what a beautiful world we have. earth right after rain. it is amazing to see what our Father in Heaven has given us. we had fasted before we went to the temple and so they all wanted to go out for lunch after and we were like we are fasting so we are going to walk around and see if we can find an lds store that might have CTR rings for elder tekanene to remember nauvoo by. so we were able to find a ring that he liked and that fit him and we were right in time cause the members who took us walked out of the restaurant at the time we walked up to it! cool. anyways thats what was good.

 

we had great lessons yesterday! we taught two lessons that were to investigators and one to a less active that we've been trying to get in with for a while. so things worked out. that was good.

i love you all and am sorry for the short letter today. i can't wait to hear from you again next week! oh and here's a quote from me!!!! "they come, they eat, they leave, they come, they eat, they leave..."

 

love

Question:

So, did you get to go to the temple?  Do a session?  

yeah we went to the temple and it was awesome! being able to go into the nauvoo temple was great! we did a session and then left right after that. but thats ok. i still have two more temple trips that president jergensen owes me. :) haha

I love the service questions:  so I'll ask again...Favorite service moment this week?  

hmmm...service question...i can't think of any right now. sorry. :(

What're your plans for p-day?  

no idea. i think the sisters had a member who was going to let us go driving at the golf course. that would be pretty sweet. haha we went one time before and elder tekanene took his first swing and whew! out goes that golf club! hahahahaha twas pretty hilarious! :)

How're your investigators coming along?  

our investigators are coming along great! we just had a lesson with one yesterday. well our main progressing investigator yesterday. we are trying to get other lessons with our other investigators and our potential investigators. so we are doing pretty well.
