WEEK ONE HUNDRED - ROB, NORM, AND ROCHELLE!

It's finally summer! It got up to about 30°C (86°F) yesterday, which isn't bad, but still felt much hotter than the last few days. I enjoyed mowing a lawn as part of a service project yesterday in the heat, which reminded me a lot of home.

So, we were out tracting this week, and as we walked by a member's home, they were outside and we talked to them. Brother and Sister Nelson mentioned that they thought their neighbor Rob might be interested in hearing our message. We stopped by his house and he told us that he has "already been saved", but that he would like to come to church sometime, and asked us to come back! We're very happy about that.

On Saturday, we did some service weeding, but it was also raining a lot, and so we weeded while wearing raincoats. I felt like the pioneers in the church history videos when they were in Missouri and they're trekking through mud and they're falling over and crying, except I had a raincoat and I wasn't crying.

We got a call from some other missionaries who met a guy named Norm at the Book of Mormon experiment who was interested in getting a copy of the Book of Mormon! He's in our area, so we made the delivery. We talked to him for a quick minute, and he said we could come back!

We stopped by a former investigator named Rochelle who was taught over a year ago. She was very nice, and said we could come back again in August when they get back from vacation!

We've been doing quite a bit of tracting as usual, trying to find people to teach! Things are going good.

The article I wrote for the church website was posted on Friday, and you can read it by clicking here!

I read a talk by President Eyring this week called "Act in All Diligence", and I particularly loved this quote:

"Ponder deeply and diligently in the scriptures and in the words of living prophets. Persist in prayer for the Holy Ghost to reveal to you the nature of God the Father and His Beloved Son. Plead that the Spirit will show you what the Lord wants you to do. Plan to do it. Promise Him to obey. Act with determination until you have done what He asked. And then pray to give thanks for the opportunity to serve and to know what you might do next."

Follow that counsel! It will bless your life.

I love you all! Have a great week!

I saw Elder Francia at a practice for the Haka that we'll be performing on Monday to the Tsuu T'ina Nation. I'll tell you guys about that next week.
