This Last Weekend....

I had a p-day mid-week, So you've heard about a few of the week's updates already. SO! Starting from Friday:
I had an exchange with Elder Johnson, from Jamaica. He's SO HUMBLE. I love him. He's fairly soft spoken and quiet, but he is just the greatest person with a huge desire to improve. We actually had a really cool experience together:

We gave a zone training last week about how to stay accountable to the goals you set, and we had a goal to find 5 new investigators before the end of our exchange because we had a lesson planned with a potential family. Unfortunately, that lesson fell through.. So there was no way we'd hit our goal of 5 new investigators without taking some action...
I was trying to demonstrate how to stay accountable to goals and that you have to work hard if you want to achieve them... SO, we stepped aside and said a prayer for help, and then started knocking doors! In our area, that's unheard of. We NEVER go tracting... But we had a goal to find 5 new investigators, and we knew that we had to show our faith that the Lord would help us if we put in our effort.

I'm happy to report that we now have a handful of interested people we plan to recontact this next week as a result of our desperate door knocking. :) Blessings? Yup.

Second big update is that we had another ward baptism yesterday. Not mine, but some of the other missionaries in our ward. It went well!

Here's a question:
In the vision of the tree of life... why is the great and spacious building FLOATING? I studied this the other day in response to an investigator question. If your looking for things to study this week, That's your new assignment. I found the answer this morning. But I'd love to hear your thoughts. Good luck!


Love you all! It's getting kinda cold here. :)
