"This week was great! I hit my 6 month mark, so that was very exciting! I feel weird because it was one of those weeks were I feel like I just grew so much spiritually that I don't really know what to say because I don't want to spill the beans on my personal revelation. We are working in a new ward that weirdly reminds me of my home ward. My companion, and I are getting along better than ever. One of my investigators got baptized this week! That was pretty exciting! She is in her 50's, and has been through a lot to get to the place to be baptized. She understands the gospel the way that I wish everyone did. She understands that keeping the commandments makes us happy! That they aren't rules, but guidelines to make us happy. Her husband is also my favorite. He told an Elder this week "You should really think about marrying Sister Smith! She is so spiritual, and kind, she might be the nicest lady in all the church!" He preceded to tell him "Sister Smith will support you in all your spiritual endeavors for the rest of your life," and then right before we parted ways he says to the Elder "Also Sister Smith is a redhead, so she'll keep your life spicy!" The confidence boost that I needed, also during a lesson this week he interrupted and said "Elders, we are looking for Sister Smith a husband for when she gets home." He is the funniest. We had a fireside this week where a man sang "Redeemer, Savior of my Soul," and without shame I just sobbed. I just knew what he was singing was so true. That Christ lives, and that I can be forgiven, that I am forgiven, that because of the Atonement I have the strength that I need to be more than I am, to be the person that I really hope to be one day. It is just mind blowing to me that I really know that Christ lives! It also reminded me of Jerusalem, and I was filled with gratitude for how my testimony grew there, and is growing now. Needless to say, it was just what I needed to strengthen my testimony at the end of a trying week. God is good always."
