69 people in 4 1/2 days!

This week has been exciting.  Transfers happened and Sister Hoyt and I are trying to tear it up in Okotoks.  She is AMAZING!!!  Wednesday was kind of crazy with transfers.  The trailer that they put all of the new arriving missionary luggage in got broken into...so it was a later start for the van going down to Lethbridge and coming back up.  I went on a three leg with Sister Alsup and Sister Thrope in the Queenland/Parkland area.  Finally we got the call that the van had arrived and I picked up Sister Hoyt and we headed back to Okotoks.  

We didn't have any appointments set up for the remainder of the week (Thursday-Saturday) which means...tracting! Yeah...we decided to try and weed out our list of potential investigators and less actives that we want to work with.  We have been able to shorten the list, but we haven't really been able to add more promising people to it.  So, in the four and half days we've been out talking to everyone we talked to 69 people. Whew, I pray that we will be able to have appointments set up for the rest of the week. I'm not sure how much more of this I can handle.  It hasn't been too bad, but it does make for a really long day.
 
At one of the ward correlation meetings our ward mission leader reminded up that President Archibald promised the Foothills Stake that they would have one baptism per month until the temple open house.  I had forgotten about this and I am praying that Heavenly Father will help us to reach this goal. I know that as we are exactly obedient and do all that we can miracles will happen and we will provide the way for this to happen.

I am so excited to learn all that I can from Sister Hoyt! She has really helped me to try and get over my fear of street contacting and door approaches.  I am by no means perfect and I still have a ton to learn, but hopefully I am getting more comfortable with approaching people.

I love Sundays!!!! We had an amazing fireside that we were able to attend.  It was so powerful!!! I prayed that the less actives/recent converts that attended found peace and strength from the message.  I am so grateful for the power of music!!

Heavenly Father LOVES us SO MUCH!!! The Atonement is all about love! The first three lessons that we teach: the restoration, the plan of happiness and the gospel of Jesus Christ are all messages of love that we share with people.  I LOVE the gospel and the peace, joy and happiness it brings into our lives!
