oh the weather outside is frightful....

3/11/13

Hello!  We are freezing cold. :)  My fingers can barely type...it snowed quite a bit last night and we just walked forever in it to get to the library.  So anyway-how was your week?  I seriously can't believe how time is flying (most of the time ha).  HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I can't believe you're so old. :) 

We had a good week.  We did a ton of finding. (yay)  How is trio training you ask?  It's kinda hard sometimes.  But most of the time it's good and it's fun.  Sometimes I just think to myself, "I am not patient enough or charitable enough or humble enough or good enough to do this."  But we had a lesson with this lady this week and she said her professor told her "Do it 100 times and then tell me you can't do it."  So.  I'll let you know in 100 days. :)  I thought it was good advice though! 

I don't really have too much to say.  We just did ALOT of street contacting and chapping and we met a few people that seem interested.  We have one investigator (that the elders were working with)  we had a good lesson with her this week and she wants to keep learning more.  She said she would be baptized if she 'felt the way we do'...she'll get there! 

We met this guy named Nicholas last night--a nice chap, probalby mid-twenties.  We were street contacting and he was walking by eating a hamburger.  haha We stopped him (his burger probably got really cold. woops) He doesn't really have a belief in God, but he said that he really hopes something is there.  We talked to him a lot about the Book of Mormon and how it answers our questions and about the plan of salvation.  He told us his mum died a week ago.  And yesterday was mother's day here...oh it just broke our hearts.  We said a prayer with him and before he walked away we just said, "We know you'll see your mom again."  He started tearing up and he said, "Thank you."  He didn't want to give us his number or anything, but I think the Book of Mormon and that little piece of hope will help him get through this hard time.  

Sooo..I'm really sorry this is going to be a short email!  I'll try to send lots of pictures to make up for it (not that my new found chubb will make up for it.  Sorry you have to see it. haha)

I love you!  I'll talk to you next week!

Love,

Sister Rindlisbacher
