" I've never been happier."

The work is going forward remarkably! This area is a miracle land. People just come up to us wanting to be baptized without us doing a whole lot of work. It's through our faith and diligence that these miracles happen.
I had my first Bible bash. Well, we weren't part of the bashing,we just got bashed on. We picked up a former investigator that we had dropped about 3 weeks ago and set up an appointment to meet with him and we got another member to come with us. The whole time he was telling us who we are and that we don't know anything. It's all dogma...and we don't worship Jesus. He was so evil and mean. This was not normal for him. He just bashed us and so we just got up and bore our testimonies and left. We were all in tears. Not like our feelings were hurt but more like our spirits were hurt. My testimony and love for the Book of Mormon grew even more after that. I gained an even greater appreciation for the Gospel and the knowledge and testimony I have of Jesus Christ and the Book of Mormon. We'll never see him again but other missionaries may meet with him another time. As I was walking away I wanted him to know even though he wasn't listening that God loves him. How important to know that. If we don't know that or understand that God knows and loves us,what is the motivation or desire to do anything or to have faith. Faith (in God) is trusting in the Lord and knowing that He is always there for me and that I can do all things with Him.
We picked up another investigator,Shana who finally got out of her 1 year abusive relationship and it's back to investigating the Church. I love her ! I will be sending pictures soon of some of my favorite people here. She is one. We love her. She is going to be baptized.
We have a 14 yr. old and an 11 yr. old on date to be baptized on Sept. 18,2010. We are so excited about that !The 14 yr. old knows alot and understands a lot of what we are teaching her. It's so cool!
Did I tell you that I gave a talk on Sunday. My 2nd one in the same ward in 2.5 months. a..crazy! I talked on conversion in our lives and how we can help others in their conversion.(used Alma the younger example) What I learned was that Conversion is a process not an event.
