Today!- Don't Freak Out (Keep Reading)

Hello!  This was such an awesome week!  It wasn't as busy as last week which is actually good because we had more time this week to find!  Monday night was awesome!  We went to one of our new investigators house to kind of drop by and when we got to his door we could see through his window (we weren't being creepy haha) anyways we noticed that he was reading the Book of Mormon.  It was so awesome! We gave it to him last week and he is already in Mosiah.  Heck yeah.
On Tuesday we did a lot of service so that was pretty fun!  Nothing super cool happened though...
Wednesday we went to Huntsville for zone conference and that was so awesome!  President Hanks gave such a great training.  It scared us a little bit though.  He told the APs to shut the doors and then told us there were some really difficult things he had to tell us and that things were going to get harder for us.  He had a slide on the power point that had some of the things he needed to say.  He told us that one of the apostles had denied the truth and that another one of the general authorities had been caught in adultery and possibly murder. Also that there were mass resignations at church headquarters.  He said because of this a lot of things were going to change and that things were going to get crazy!  You can imagine how it felt in that room haha.  Well of course it wasn't true (at least in our day).  He then said the apostle he was referring to was Peter, when he denied Christ 3 times.  The other general authority was David, when he messed up with Bathsheba.  He did say that something like this can and probably will happen.  Things probably will get harder and if and when they do are we going to be ready for it.  It was a great training on how our testimonies have to be strong.  They can't built on others testimonies.  Even the apostles.  I am thankful for the testimony that I have of the Gospel.  Anyways, zone training was just super awesome!  I love hearing President Hanks train! 
Thursday night we got a solid new investigator named Leeann.  She is the neighbor of a less active woman we have been working with and she wanted us to come and give her a priesthood blessing.  After we gave the blessing we taught the restoration.  It went so well and it was awesome to see Sister Morehead (less active member) fellowship Leeann. 
Well those were the highlights of my week!  It is so awesome just being here serving in Alabama.  I hope yall have a great week!  Love yall!
