I believe in miracles. 

 We were having a spiritual conversation with 3 guys on the street when this lady interrupts us and scares away the 3 guys. But, not to be dismayed by the lost opportunity with those guys, we started talking with this lady and the conversation started being led by the Spirit. 

 Well, on comes another distraction. Drunk guy comes up and starts yelling at us to preach to him! Recognizing that he was completely incoherent I told him we had a baptismal service on October 21st, and invited him to be baptized that day. He screamed his praises and whatnot, and we thought it was funny because we weren't going to pursue a drunk guy saying yes to being baptized. 

 But the lady was still there listening. She immediately spoke up and said "I want to be baptized. Can I come to the service on the 21st? I want to learn about what you talked to me about. I need direction." 

 We were so excited to help her come unto Christ. The Lord works in mysterious ways. Sometimes through drunk guys.

 Love,
Elder Dick

We had zone conference today and it was really awesome. I learned a lot of really really cool things. Like: Always remember and apply “Good, Better, Best” especially with making goals and plans. If you knew that any goal you set, you could achieve...what would your goals be? (Now remember that with God, all things are possible) Goal setting is an act of faith. Showing that you believe that God can and will help you accomplish it Only think about the Do’s. (For example: if your goal is to eat healthy, don't think “don't eat cookies, don't eat cookies” think instead, “okay I can eat salad and chicken and fruits and apples!) Become comfortable with being uncomfortable, especially in missionary work. If you're comfortable, you can probably work harder.

Hey everyone! This week has been a spiritual strengthening one for sure.  On Sunday I got to sing with the MTC Choir as backup for the Nashville Tribute Band.  They sing gospel songs, like LDS gospel, and they're super country.  But their message is one that relates to any religion so y'all should look them up and listen to some!   The spiritual strengthening part of my week goes as thus: I've started holding myself accountable to Heavenly Father.  Like at the beginning of each day, in my prayers I'll tell Him my goals for the day,  like "study _____ in my language. Get ____ memorized.  Plan ____ lesson" things like that.  And then at the end of the day, I'll tell Him how I did.  Let me tell you, that's intimidating!  He certainly knows when you aren't living up to your potential.  It's only scary because I can hear Him tell me I didn't do well, and where and how I can do better, when I ask.  But when I do all that I can

Today I was on a split with Elder Nielson! I learned a lot from him today and it was really great. I learned about street contacting and the how-to's of that. I learned a lot about being bold and more confident. I've made goals now to improve my studies. As well as my memory. I feel that if I can have spiritual experiences every morning during personal and companionship study, I will be so much more spiritually prepared to take on the day and receive promptings throughout. And a better memory just because it would help.
