Tenacious Topeka

So this week has been super awesome and SUPER busy. We had Specialized Training on Wednesday and we were fortunate enough to get TiWi's. Some of you might be asking yourself what the heck is a TiWi. Well imagine having an automatic back seat driver with you at all times. It tracks your speed, your acceleration, your breaking, how fast your turns were, if you have seat belt on and then sends alerts to the Mission office if you break any of those. So those are really fun. I love them. (I know that sounds sarcastic but they really aren't that bad... because honestly we should be doing all of those things anyways sooo) 

We are working with a 16 year old kid. He just moved to Topeka. His Mom and Step- Dad are members so we had dinner over at their house and he was so interested in learning more. He's awesome. So we have been at his house everyday this week because he had spring break and he didn't have anything going on! We would go for a walk or something with him everyday. It was so fun! and by the end of the week he asked if he could move up his baptism date to next saturday! Obviously we were SUPER excited! 

Then we went over the next day and he was a little discouraged. He had been told that he was already been baptized and shouldn't do it again and a some other things that weren't true. We quickly identified that those things were true and that he was going through his trial of faith (which we told him was going to happen sometime when we first met him) We invited him to fast with us yesterday. He came to church and right before I asked him if we could announce his baptism in the meetings so people could come and he was like.. "Uhhhh.... YES!" and it was such a miracle! Fasting and prayer is REAL!!!!! I love it!

We have also been able to get the Because He Lives video before it come out. Let me tell you something. IT'S SO FREAKING AWESOME! Like He Is The Gift and Because of Him but this one will be like a 6 month thing that will be advertised and different videos associating with this one will come out. It's so sweet! The spirit is just so strong everytime I watch it! Look for it athelives.mormon.org this saturday! 

I KNOW HE LIVES! AND LOVES YOU AND ALL OF US!

Have such a great week!
