I will walk 500 miles and I will knock 500 more!

Hey Ya'll

Well Well what have we here?! Remember me?! I'm that guy that left last August! ya'll must have seem to forgot. good thing I'm here to remind you ;)

haha this week went by super fast! Elder White and I have worked our little missionary butts off to find some new investigators this week and have found a lot of good potential investigators that we pray that we will be able to pic up as new investigators this week! I have never knocked so many doors in my life but it has actually been pretty fun. The people in Virginia are very nice, so it makes the work get a long a lot easier :)

Cool story that happened though this last week we were able to pick up a golden investigator named Doug. How we found him was pretty cool though. So the people who live across from Doug are a part member family, Well one day we were going over there to teach them a quick lesson. When we got there we saw that they were talking to one of Doug's roommates so we started talking to him and he asked us to come over and teach him. so we set up an appointment to teach him, came back for the appointment and taught him. When we came over the first time we saw Doug but he didn't pay too much attention to us so we taught the lesson and left. When we came back the second time to teach him Doug followed us up the stairs and began talking to us and told us this huge shpeel of how his roommate was crazy and was doing a bunch of things he wasn't supposed to so Doug kicked him out and has no idea where he was. So we talked to him and he ended up inviting us in and the rest is history! he would have been at church this week but he got really sick and didn't want to get anyone else sick. He is super ready to learn and is ready for the gospel. I just like this story because its cool to see how the lord works sometimes.

The rest of this week was just filled with lots of finding, Meetings, And getting to know the area! Virginia has been fantastic so far though :)

For my spiritual thought this week I want to share a scripture from 3 Nephi 13:19-21, and it says; 19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and thieves break through and steal;

20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.

21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

The reason why I chose this scripture is because its so easy for us these days to get caught up in everything that is going on in today's world. But whats truly important is the things that will be with us thought he eternities. Such as family and friends. I want each of you to focus on the things that matter most in this life through out this next week and in the weeks to come. As you notice these blessings you will come to know how much your heavenly father truly does love you. You will also experience more Eternal joy then you ever will Worldly pleasure. I love you all and hope you each have a great week!
