Another Great Week To Be A Missionary

Dear Family and Friends!!!  

Well we had another great week here in Charlotte and we are having fun.  It was awesome! We started teaching a guy named Andrew that has cerebral palsy.  He is good friends with a member that also has cerebral palsy.  Andrew just moved in to the same apt complex where the member lives. The member had his home teachers over and Andrew stayed and listened and at the end wanted the missionary lessons. We went over on Tuesday and had a great lesson and he has been so prepared it is a real testimony builder!!  We committed him to be baptized and before we could finish he said yes and wants to be baptized next month!!! It was great that we had his friend at the lesson.  

Let see oh it was awesome we got to go to Grand Rapids on Thursday because a professor from BYU was in town teaching at another college here. Our mission president asked him if he would come and teach us. His name is Brother Robert Millett and apparently he has written a lot of LDS books.  The two things that I probably learned the most that he talked about was the Great Apostasy and Grace.  That was the best explanation of the Great Apostasy I have ever heard before; he had dates and showed us which church broke off to the next reform church. He really opened my eyes about grace because I really didn't understand it at all before.  He asked us the question about when you are at Judgment and we get asked why I should let you into the heaven what would you answer.  It is because our savior Jesus Christ’s grace that we can before forgiven of our sins and getting what we don't deserve because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ.  All he asks of us is to follow him and Repent.   

The weather has been really crazy here and not crazy like it is at home right now.  It has been such a blessing because we haven't had a car this week and the weather has been real mild.  On Saturday the temp was 58 degrees; it was great to be out in.  I was wearing a short sleeve shirt and it was fine. But it was too good to last so of courses it got cold again and snowed last night but it did make me eager for spring ha-ha.  Well Love you all and wish the best for you all.  

Love,
