My challenge to you! ;)

I have another awesome story that happened this week. We had a great week. A miracle happened this week.

So two weeks ago we were knocking on doors and we weren't having any luck. We knocked on a ton of doors. We came up to this one guy's door and asked if we could leave a blessing of peace and comfort on his home and family and you will never guess what he said.....yup, he said no thanks. haha We didn't really think much of it because that's what everyone had said on that street. But then! On tuesday this week we were walking to an appointment and the same guy was walking down the road towards us and he says, "Hey I could use a blessing or a message or what ever your giving away." haha and we said, "We would love to give you both!" So we walked over to his house and he told us a little about himself. He said that he is looking for peace and happiness in his life because he has made some really bad decisions in his life and he feels like something is missing. Man, I almost fell out of my seat I was so excited to hear those words. We taught him the restoration and gave him a book of mormon and invited him to church. He said he would read and that he would come to church. Which he did both and now we are teaching him. Walking away from that lesson it felt like Heavenly Father just dropped a golden investigator from the skies right into our path. Wow so amazing! We had a really great week and i'm excited to see the miracles Heavenly Father has in store for us this week.

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer and doing their missionary work ;) Before I have to go I wanted to tell you about one of the most amazing missionaires I have meet on my mission. His name is president Lee and he is 73 years old. Yup he is our Branch president up in Baggs, WY. Every single person we talk to in baggs or the surrounding towns says, "Oh yeah, you ladies are with the church that Howard Lee (president lee) is over. He already gave me a book of mormon and preached to me about it." haha every.single.person says this. and I have no idea when he has time to reach all of these people because he still runs a ranch full time and a construction company. He is constantly opening his mouth and teaching every single person he comes in contact with. I love it. I look up to him so much. He is an incredible person. The craziest part about it is that President Lee was in-active for basically 40 years of his life. He grew up in the church but never really was converted. I'm not sure what changed, but man he doesn't waste one single opportunity to share the gospel. He also studies every day. He has so many scriptures memorized it astounds me. I took a picture of his scriptures and wanted to share them with all of you. I wanted to let all of you know that if a 73 year old rancher, who is busy from sun up to sun down can find time to be a missionary, so can you!!! I know you can and so does the Lord! I want to challenge everyone who reads this email to talk to one, just one, person this week about the gospel. I know the lord will bless you for this effort. I love you all and I hope you have an amazing week. If you have a missionary experiance this week I would absolutely love to hear about it! Feel free to email me about it. Love you!!!! God speed!!!
