Like the letter states it was kinda a weak week but Elder Harris and I were out of town for a couple of days and then P-day so only a few days of working which was good. We taught some sweet lessons and found some new investigators to begin teaching and help with service. Pontiac is a small town where Elder Bradshaw and Elder Grow live. We were there on Tuesday and blitzed the area. Elder Harris is good friends with Elder Grow so they go on exchanges almost once a week.
I'm excited to go to Nauvoo on Wednesday and meet a general authority! It is going to be Elder Bowen of the 70. We have to drive to Peoria on Tuesday night and stay there because it is like a 3-4 hour drive to Nauvoo from Bloomington.
I can truly start to see how the Lord is with us as we go and work. Elder Harris and I were out to see Less-Actives on Friday night and we prayed about which house we should go to because the night before we did the same thing and got nothing for about 2 hours. So we prayed and felt that we should go see Sister O'Rourke and we did. When we got there she didn't want to let us in at first, but then she heard us say that we could give her a blessing to help her with the flu. By the Way Do I need some type of medical insurance card to get a flu shot out here??? Our President asked us all to get one but I don't want to spend 40 bones on a shot that's like 30% of our moneys. She told us that she was hoping that someone would come by and help her and talk to her and we did. She was in the hospital a few days earlier and said that she felt her mother at her side the whole time but knew that she had died years ago. We told her that the veil is thin at times and it was indeed her mother there watching over her. It was a good blessing and I did the anointing which is cool cause it is shorter ha.
I'm expecting some mail from some folks but haven't gotten a thing so hopefully on Wednesday I'll get some stuff.
I love you all and hopefully we will have some good news next week and have a baptism all lined up and ready before next transfers. This missionary stuff isn't so bad after all and ya know I think that I might just want to live our here :)
