Teaching with the JWs!

Hey y'all!!

What a week! WE FOUND ANOTHER FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are so pumped! The Hayt Family has accepted the invitation to be baptized on March 24th!! They are so excited for this! They just moved to Childress last week and we met them on Tuesday. We never see people in Childress on Tuesday! Total miracle!! We were in Estelline (one of our outlying towns) and we got a no bueno feeling from the spirit so we tried the person we were there to see and got out of there as quick as we could back on over to Childress. We were going to go home to finish our studies but decided to try a guy that we had already dropped (why would we do that??) and of course he wasn't home but his neighbors were!!! Brylee let us in right away and we taught the Restoration to her, Ryan, and Brylee's mom that night! Then on Thursday we brought an awesome member and we taught the Plan of Salvation and the Word of Wisdom to Brylee, Ryan, Shelly, Kaden (11), Landon (9), and Brylan (1)!! We committed them to baptism and Ryan and Shelly were hesitant but the rest of them are excited! Then Friday we taught them the Gospel of Jesus Christ and committed Brylee, Kaden, and Landon to baptism. When Ryan got home at the end of the lesson Brylee said, "I am going to teach you about what we just learned about and then will you work with us to be baptized on March 24th?" SHE COMMITTED HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the what??? Shelly is still hesitant but willing to learn more (she doesn't even live here but is just here helping them move in). Brylee loves us coming over because we bring the spirit and after we committed them to a date Landon said he got the goosebumps. These people are amazing!!!! They went out of town this weekend to get the rest of their furniture so they weren't able to make it to church but they were so bummed about it! We are meeting with them again tonight! Brylee texted us Saturday and said she has been telling her sister about what she has learned and her sister wants to meet with us too!!!! (unfortunately her sister doesn't live here, she will be here for the weekend though and we will hook her and Shelly up with the missionaries where they live!)

We taught Daniel again this week.....his understanding still isn't all the way there....also, when we got there he invited us in (we usually can't go in because he lives alone), I saw a woman so we walked in and I immediately know who it is! LOL! It was the JW's. So ya, I had no idea what to do so Sister Kirchoff (we were on exchanges) asked them if they were almost done and they were close so we just sat there and waited for them to finish....mission life is great! #awkward!

Friday morning we got some pretty awesome news! Next week we will be in Amarillo twice (zone conference and a special stake meeting) and Lubbock once (another special meeting). We are making history in the TLM! The whole mission has only ever gotten together 3 times and I was there for 2 of them! Make that three once we go to Lubbock to see President M Russell Ballard!! how cool!?? He's visiting us! This will only be the third time an apostle has ever visited our mission! It will be on the 23rd!

Have a great week y'all!!

Happy Valentines day!!
