Hello! This week was fast and amazing. We have spent alot of time in theRefferal center and i have had some amazing expereinces...oh and this shiftkey on the keyboard doesnt work good so i am not going to capitalizeanything. sorry. so anyway.... i was able to send misionaries to four offive people over the phone. wow! it feels so good to talk and testify topeople. i just try to say what the Lord wants me to say. i have got to knowsome really neat people from all over the country. i have been talking tothis one lady more than once who is a jew and 85 years old! she is fromgermany and the only one left of her family. she was 10 years old when allthe bad stuff started happening over there. anyway its amazing that ihappened to be the one to contact her because i learned so much from herabout being accepting to other peoles beliefs and standing up for the truth.she speaks at schools and and places now about the haulicost. anyway....iwas able to testify to her about the whole first lesson the first time italked to her... and it was the first person i have ever testified aboutJesus Christ to ho does not believe him to be our Savior....and i felt thespirit stongly as i told her that i know that He is our Savior and that heloves her and suffered and died for her......she didnt say anything for along time and i just let it soak in...then i commited her to praying to knowif Jesus is the Christ and i sent the missionaries to her house with a bookof mormon... i have given her number to someone who works at the referalcenter who i can trust since i am leaving tommorow... wow neat.... and all ido is try to love her like God loves her and then i know what to say to herbecause its His work and he lets me know what to say. The worth of everysoul is great in the site of God! Oh and she loves mitt romney.....shesays there is a light in the face and the voice of mormons she is sosweet.....i talked to her for over an hour and at the end of the call shetold me she loved me! she is such a nice old lady.Dad....she asked me if i followed politics...i told her i use to be and shewas very happpy...she thinks that there are not enough americans standing upfor truth.... i told her that now i am focusing on sharing the truth of Godand she said "all truth goes together with God." it really was a blessingfor me to talk to this lady! She said, coming from a women who saw hercounty fall apart "Fight for God, you will die anyway....fight for God! anddont let them take him out of our schools and county!" Neat lady!anyway.....i do leave tommorow. i am very excited and i have pass alongcards for the plane ride. i have made so many friends..... its been anamazing three weeks.... oh and all the general authorities were hereyesterday....but i never saw them. they were at another sacrament meetingfor the mission presidents..... oh well. we still had a way good devotionalfrom some other guy.
