Everything is going so great! We teach, teach, teach all the day long. All my investigators are doing great, and I love them all. One crazy thing that happened... is remember Sister D? She brought herself to church a couple weeks ago and then we met with her and she cried about how happy the gospel made her.Remember her? Well, she hasn't been able to meet much because she is on call at her job so we decided to stop by this week. When we came to the door she happened to be coming out at the same time. When she came out she just started crying. She told us how tired she is. Then she went on to tell us that she is so tired because her husband hits her and how he just poured beer on her, so she came outside. She told us how her husband tried to throw her Book of Mormon in the garbage but literally couldn't do it. Then she just started praying. She gave the most thankful prayer that I have ever heard. She said how thankful she was for the sisters, for Christ and the Atonement and she said that she was thankful for the Book of Mormon even though she doesn't understand most of what it says. It was incredible! This lady who has every reason to not feel God's love for her or feel thankful for her life offered up the most heartfelt prayer full of gratitude. She didn't ask for one blessing. She then hugged us all.She told us how she is ready to leave her husband and do what the Lord wants. In all of this she told us our spiritual gifts. She turned to me and said "And you, you can just look at a person and they see the light of Christ, just looking at you makes them want to be better." I don't know if that is true at all but I was beyond flattered. She kissed us all on the cheek, we said another prayer, and we haven't heard from her since. Weirdly I'm not worried. I know she will be okay and that she will be able to accept the gospel. So in closing everything is great, I am happy, and I learned bounds and leaps from General Conference. Life is good."
