Hello!!!! :D
Holy moly this week has been INCREDIBLE!!!! :D :D :D The Lord's hand is EVERYWHERE!!!! He is COMPLETELY in His work and it is sO incredible to see that and be a part of it!! :) We have been blessed to teach super 'prepared' people!! :) And be placed in their path at the right place and right time!! :) It's sO cool!! :D We love it!! :) We have really been trying harder to listen and FOLLOW the Spirit more as we teach and fully RELY on the Spirit to teach and speak through us!! And that has been one of the most incredible experiences to witness and be a part of!! :) We are sO grateful and we love it!!! :D The Church is TRUE!!! :D
We were blessed with sO many AMAZING lessons this week!! :) We just lOvE our Investigators!! :) I wish i had enough time to tell you about them all!! :) But i will just some up some key highlights! :) So we had an INCREDIBLE lesson with a guy named Kendyl! :) He is SOOOO cool!! and sOOOO prepared by the Lord!!! It's amazing!!!! Him and His 3 roommates are the coolest and most prepared people i've ever met!! The Lord has SUCH tremendous things instore for them as they choose to accept the TRUE message we share with them and turn their lives over to the FULLNESS of Christ's teachings!! :) We met these guys (all about 20 yrs. old) a couple of weeks ago and have been teaching and meeting with them and they are AMAZING!!! we LOVE meeting with them and the Spirit has helped us to TRULY see them as Christ does and be able to tell them things we KNOW Heavenly Father wants and needs them to know!! :) I will have to tell you more details next week and tell you the SUPER COOL Book of Mormon story/lesson we had with them!! (i wrote it in a letter to Conner! :) ) It's INCEDIBLE!!! and we've had other cool lessons/contacts with them since!! They are so cool! :) We've been able to stop by and give them copies of conference talks and other cool/inspired things that we are SO grateful to Heavenly Father for blessing us with!! :) Keep them in your prayers!! :) (Their names are Kyle, Kendyl, Dylan, and Alex) :) THANK YOU!! :D They are valiant sons of God and they need to know that and become all Heavenly Father intends them to be! :) and do all He needs them to do! :) They will be GREAT instruments in the Lord's hands as they choose to follow Him and will be the means of doing much good!! :)
Another great lesson we had was with Ute (pronounced like "Uda") She's the super cute older German lady! :) We just love her! We had a lesson with her about prayer and how she is a child of God! :) We let her know that Heavenly Father loves her and wants to hear from her and is mindful of her and her life. During the lesson we felt prompted to sing "I Am a Child of God" to her.. so we did!!! :) And she CRIED!! She loved it! :) You could really feel the Spirit strongly in that lesson! :) And you could tell SHE was feeling the Spirit a lot!! :) You could see it in her eyes!! :) It was amazing!! THat was serioulsy one of the BEST lessons we have ever had with her! It was so cooL! :) We asked her if she would pray to know that she is a child (/daughter) of God and she said she would! :) Keep her in your prayers too! :) she is coming along.. :)
We also had an AMAZING lesson with our recent converts in the OKC Temple!!! Oh my goodness i serioulsy just LOVE the temple!!! :D It is sOOO wonderful!!! :) Take advantage of it!! :) I wish i could still go as often as i use to but the Lord's work here is AMAZING!!! :D And the Lord's work in the temple is AMAZING too!!! :) So keep up the great temple work!! :) Temple work is true!! It is real! It is lasting and eternal!! :) I testify this is true! :)
We also had an INCREDIBLE Zone Conf. this week!! :) I love Pres. Taylor! We talked about becoming!! :) so good!! :)
We also came back in contact with a former investigator (i had never met him before) named John! and he is AWESOME!! :) We had a really cool lesson with about the Atonement and how it allows us to be healed and change! We had one of the youth in our ward (Natalie -she's 17) come with us and she bore a super sweet and amazing testimony about the Atonement as well!! :) It was so great!! We've been taking a LOT of the youth in our ward out teaching with us!!! (which i of course LOVE!!!! because i LOVE the Youth!! The youth are sOOOOO AMAZING!!!! :D :D :D :D) Keep up ALL the GREAT and VALIANT work all you YOUTH (including my AMAZING brother Conner!! :) )!!! Y'all are AMAZING!!!! :D And the Lord has such tremendous and incomprehensible things in store for you!!!! That will bless YOUR life AND future GENERATION'S as you strive and choose to follow Him always and stay close to Him and His teachings and the inspired and amazing standards of the Church (the Church of Jesus Christ!! :) THIS Church!! :))
Wow!

ps. QofW: "We need young men [and young women] already on the team to stay on it and stop dribbling out of bounds just when we need you to get in the game and play your hearts out! In almost all athletic contests of which I know, there are lines drawn on the floor or the field within which every participant must stay in order to compete. Well, the Lord has drawn lines of worthiness for those called to labor with Him in this work... Whoever you are and whatever you have done, you can be forgiven. Every one of you young men [and women] can leave behind any transgression with which you may struggle. It is the miracle of forgiveness; it is the miracle of the Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ." -Elder Holland :)
