Die Zeit vergeht im Fluge!

Hey everyone! Happy Monday :)

I mean to lighten everyone's mood (Broncos fans in particular) by starting out with a joke today. So...what kind of dish did I serve myself some dinner in yesterday? Answer: A supper bowl.

Alright, now on to some real things! Yet another two weeks have gone down since I last blogged and time is going by just so insanely quickly! I also really appreciate all your love and support which you show me in person and online, in public and in privacy. It means the world to me! :) I may not be the most popular person there is, but I certainly do have the best friends in the world. Not even a contest! :)

These past two weeks have been covered with a few more interesting Missionary experiences. There's at least one baptism coming up in my ward! This studly man who I wrote about in my last post has a date for March 8! I'm so excited for him and for the decision he's made to follow the Savior's example to be baptized for the remission of sins. He's the Elders' neighbor so they get to teach him often, and he even bore his testimony yesterday. It was great and I can tell how ready he is! :) There was another investigator at Church for the first time and he really loved it as well! He's from Eritrea and I might help teach him next week. The way the Elders set me up with him was actually kind of funny. They were calling me earlier the day they tracted into him just to talk about some things concerning facebook, and literally 15 minutes later they called me again to ask what language they speak in Eritrea and if there's a Book of Mormon translation in any of those languages. That's always a good sign because this kind of question is waaay too random to be asked just for the fun of it. I googled it immediately and found out that people there speak English and some kind of dialect whose name I already forgot. So English it was! I was very pleased to tell our two Elders from Utah that there actually is a Book of Mormon translation into English :) Anyhow, this man also seems really solid and I'm excited to get to know him more! It appears that there's also a lot of other people the Missionaries are working with, both less active and investigators, but I don't really know them yet so I can't say much. I can just say that things are definitely speeding up here! :)

Facebook is also going well! We've been able to add a good number of members, active and not so active, and even some investigators and potentials. I really like meeting with the Missionaries sometime during most weeks (not this one, by the way) because I think it motivates them to find people. Having a list of five I can add each week is pretty good but more than ten makes me super proud in their finding efforts (which has happened almost generally). It's such a cool and non-intruisive way to stay in touch with people and I love it! :)

Anyhow. This should be it for a brief little update. This Gospel of Jesus Christ as we have it in its fullness in this Church is amazing! It is a source of love, peace, forgiveness, happiness and empowerment that I think no one should have to live without :) I love this work!

Yours,
