So this week was definitely a week of miracles, amazing things continue to happen. We've got 3 potential baptisms for the next 3 weeks, and more to follow after that, it's inspiring to see what the Lord can do. We met this really cool guy Kenny on Thursday, and he is showing amazing potential, and he absolutely loved church yesterday. His friend Brother Purpur brought him, and he's getting ignited with the missionary spirit. The Maysville branch is very promising, and we had 98 in attendance yesterday, which is going to start becoming a normal occurrence here. If we can get it up to 120, it'll become a ward. Which would be sweet! That's our goal, and I have complete faith that I'll be here to see it happen. We are teaching a lot of people right now, and things just keep getting better. My companion is a really good teacher, and he's just a great missionary all around, and since we've been together lots of good things have been happening. When you do all you can, God truly does the rest, and miracles will happen. Kentucky rocks!!!
Haha, so a funny story this week, we go out to contact a young couple we met a week or two ago, and they are super nice, and we had a great discussion, and we're going back tomorrow. We went with the ward mission leader, Brother Jones (he's super cool) and as we're leaving, I was trying to guess their age (I forgot why, but I swear I had a good reason for it) and asked if they were in their mid-30's or something, and the wife just gave me the worst death glare ever! She's only 24! but he's 37, and they have a teenage daughter, so I was trying to be polite by not saying she had a kid when she was 15... But that didn't really work. Bad backfire. Luckily she got over it, but Brother Jones shared the story in opening exercises of Priesthood and the branch won't let me forget it,,, haha, so yeah. That was fun. :D
Oh yeah, and a chihuahua peed on me! I was picking it up to put it back inside this member's house, and Elder Goss (my companion for the day) told me to look at my shirt... and there was a big yellow spot. Maybe I shouldn't share this story because its super gross... And they wont let me forget about this one either. Haha don't scare chihuahuas.
Sorry if I'm really bad about responding to e-mails sometimes, there's just so much stuff to do, and there's never enough time to do it!! I'm trying to petition for a time turner, but we'll see how it goes. Anyways, I love you all!!! Keep being awesome! :D
