August 11th, 2014- Flat Tire= New Investigators!

Hello!  This has been such a crazy awesome week!  It started off kind of sad with it being Elder Lundeens last few days.  He worked super hard though until it was over.  I'm really glad I got to serve with him I learned a lot!
My new companion is Elder Nielsen from Twin Falls Idaho.  He is the nicest guy I'm excited to serve with him.  We have already seen so many blessings come.  One of the coolest things happened on Friday.  We started biking from our apartment when Elder Nielsen got a flat tire.  Because of that we decided to walk.  Well while walking we were able to talk to a lot more people.  The coolest thing is some people stopped us to talk to us.  We weren't walking too long when this lady and her husband ran up to us, asked us if we were Mormons, and wanted a Book of Mormon.  She told us she was a member that hadn't been to church in a while.  She had just got to Fort Payne the night before so we gave her the address to the church and got her number.  Her husband isn't a member so hopefully we can start teaching them!  
Not even 2 hours later we were walking downtown when a guy comes out of his store and tells us to come in and have some water.  It was like a family business so we started talking to him, his brother, his sister and his bro in law.  They were asking us a lot of good questions so we asked if they wanted a pamphlet.  He was like, "Yeah that's what I wanted to get form yall!"  We invited him to be taught and are going to call him and set up a time soon!  
That is only a couple of the miracles we saw this week.  We also had an awesome lesson with Estella.  She knows she needs to be baptized and wants it so bad!  She just has some concerns.  We are trying to help her come to church and hopefully when she comes it will get rid of a lot of the concerns she has.  She seems so ready!  She knows the Gospel will bless her life.  
It has just been a great week!  The Lord is preparing people everywhere it's so awesome!  I'm so thankful to be out here!
I love you all have a great week!
Elder Whetten
