June 2nd, 2014- Fireflies and Fishin'

I cannot believe it is already June!  Where is the time going?  I hope that all of you had an awesome week!  Mine was sure good!  I have been staying busy, hot, and wet from all this humidity.  Dodging rainstorms and roadkill while biking (a lot).  Then at night I have been getting super distracted by all these random glowing lights in the air.  I have come to learn that these are fireflies (never seen one before this week so that is kind of exciting)!  Then to top it all off we spent some time fishing in Georgia.  All this has made me realize that Summer in the South is where it's at!!

Yesterday had to have been the best as far as investigators go.  We went to a former investigators home (her name is Estella) and ended up teaching her family about the Book of Mormon.  She got really pumped and asked if we could come back maybe 2 or 3 times a week and have Bible/Book of Mormon study with her and her daughters.  After that we had a really great lesson with a recent convert less active couple.  She really opened up to us that she was struggling with her testimony because she never reads the BOM.  She finds it hard to understand since the Bible is what she was used to her whole life.  We are going to start reading with her and help her to understand it better.  

I can really see the blessings that are coming.  I know that the Lord is preparing people we just need to find them.  I am so excited to be a part of this work.  I love you all and hope y'all have a great week!
