It's a Miracle

This week we went on a bunch of exchanges and tracted all day... but had so much fun! We had one lady bash with us and told us that the LDS church is a break off of the Mormons.... and we told her that she was mistaken that its the same thing but she just got upset and told us to go and study theology more, especially the history books. She then told us that The Book of Mormon never talks about Christ and that if we want to learn about Christ we need to go back to the history books and read about Moses and Abraham.... man she made no sense but we had a good laugh after that door approach. We then knocked on this door (it's 3:00 at this point) and this lady opens the door and says "What is this?!" and then continues on to tell us how she worked late last night and that we better never "pound on her door like that again" cause she was asleep, it was so funny!! I have learned that tracting either sucks really badly, or it can just be a comedy show, it's just up to your perspective!

We then went to Tallahassee for an exchange with the assistants and had a blast! I went out with Elder Matthewson, he is so cool! He reminds me so much of Steve-O and we get along so well! While in Tally, we decided to have a good night and treat our selves to a nice meal, so we went to Texas Road House..... bad idea! Don't get me wrong, the food there is sooooo goood and their rolls are to die for!! But Elder Gunnell and I each ate 10 rolls and then found out from our waitress that each roll has 350 calories in them!!!!!!!!!! Needless to say, I now know why I am "filling out" as my family would say..... but it was worth it, so I don't care!!

On the way back from Tally, we hit some pretty bad traffic and all we see is a massive plume of black smoke ahead of us. A bunch of people were turning around and heading the other way and this lady told us that it was a fuel tanker that was on fire!! So everyone was getting out of the way to not get hurt and also to watch it. Elder Burch and I looked at each other and concluded that this was the only way back into town and we had an appointment in 30 minutes and we were 40 minutes away, so we decided to drive right passed the fuel tanker that was about to explode....... so worth it!!! W got the dopest video!! I don't think it ever exploded, but it was pretty bad!

Man, last Monday, was so awesome!!!!! We had those lessons with Jesse and Ty that I talked about last week, and then we had an incredible lesson with a part member family. So Mike Huber has been going to church for 12 years but has never been baptized and hasn't really taken church all that serious until now. He asked us to go and give him a blessing (1 of only 3 he has ever had) and boy was the Spirit there!! After the blessing his face was covered with tears while he talked about how he never feels worthy of God's love and it's amazing how Mormons are always so close to God and are such great people. Then he said something I will never forget; with his wife sitting next to him on the couch, he looked at us and said "I want to get baptized." This was the most powerful experience that I have had on my mission! The Spirit was so strong and it was an answer to so many different types prayers (for the Huber family, as well as for me)! He still has a lot to learn and isn't too sure about Joseph Smith but he knows that something so good couldn't be wrong. So we gave him his first Book of Mormon and he wants us over all the time, it is so amazing! 

The Lord really does answer prayers! I have seen that a lot lately! Ask and ye shall receive! Put it to the test and then be patient for God's answer but also search for it! "Pray like its all up to God, then work like its all up to you."
