Birthday week




Haha a 21 year old! :) :P HA!! :) I feel so old! You'll love to hear what I did on my birthday.

Well it was probably 15 degrees outside.
No Truck. 
Just feet. 
Freezing Wind. 
Knocking Doors.
Feeling the Spirit, Laughing with my Companion in dark streets.  
Yeah being a missionary on your 21st birthday in the middle of the U.S.
Priceless :) I couldn't have had a better birthday. :) 
I had the opportunity to find out that the Lord truly guides us to knock the doors He needs us to. It's neat. I don't know how to describe it. We were walking and I look at this one house and completely felt it within me, that sensitive impression to knock that door. So we did. He let us in and He listened.
We had an incredible lesson with a guy this week who is literally the guy in the parable of the Talents who hid his talent. This guy is so scared to exercise faith and to learn. We taught about the Book of Mormon and he got really scared. I listened and listened closely to what he was saying. I shared with him my personally testimony and told him that he did not need to be afraid and he read Moroni 10:3-5. He read the verses aloud, and after reading said, that's powerful. He's reading 3 Nephi 11-27 right now.
Being a missionary rocks :)
The new mission address is:
