Sister Natalie Oswald

This week.....we found tonnnss of people!! Okay, well the thing is I really don't even know what day it is and all of it is just meshing together...sooo monday....hmmm oh! we went to empty nesters! I love all the older couples in the ward they are the greatest thing in my life!

Then Tuesday must have been pretty boring because I dont really remember it....we helped Issa move! She is the best, opinionated, and just wonderful red head!

Wednesday! We had half mission training; it was wonderful!!! I learned so much and I am pretty overwhelmed about all the stuff we learned and how I am going to try and apply it all to my lessons and finding and...whew...I am tired just saying it! Presisdent Hess is a truly inspired man! Everything I ever needed to hear!! And I got to see Sister Carter! LOVE HER WITH ALL OF MY LIFE! Next transfer we are going to be together...soo not a big deal! Sister Wyeberg my old STL is going home this next transfer..not okay! I will miss her so much!!

Gosh this is hard recounting all this...I am pretty sure I have memory loss

I didnt wear a coat on Thursday...yep..it was that warm!!!

Okay so I will just focus on Saturday and Sunday because that is all I remember!

So Saturday we took a whole day and just knocked on doors! Well wait, we didnt even knock on doors! It was so warm people were all outside and sitting on their porches and walking around...we just walked with them and sat on the porch with them and got like 7 new investigators!! It was GREAT! So we met Ricky who was not interested at all and we were pretty much following him as he was walking around and then he said, "Well, I have to go walk my fiance home..." BOOM...sealings! We talked about how they could be sealed for time and all eternity and he was like "Where is this at? Here is my phone number and I have your card I will call you tomorrow!"

Next person we met was Austin...he was walking along and we started talking to him about the Book of Mormon and he said "Okay, okay...I will read the Book of Mormon if you... come to my next fight..." We agreed of course! (not sure how President will take it, but it is someones salvation so...) It is in April so if I don't get transferred....I betta get ma MMA gear on!!!

Next we finally knocked on a door and Shaundee opened and saw us and just started crying! We didn't know what happened so we just consoled her and talked to her about how the gospel can help with anything!! We are going back Tuesday! She was gorgeous!

Lets see we met soo many fun people...I cant pick!!

UNO MAS!

Daryus...okay daryus...he was....so he came out of his house and said "Alright, first of all I want to say...I Love you...Jesus Loves you...and we want you to come back to Christianity!" We then explained that we believe in Christ, don't you worry! And then he went on to talk about how we really don't know Christ and how Mormons do all these extra things like missionary work and the Word of Wisdom and different things and how we are just saved by grace and mercy alone! So we flipped to 2 Nephi 25:25 and talked about after all we can do, then are we saved! But we need to be actively showing our faith, repenting, and doing Christlike things...but of course to him Joseph Smith was not a prophet! Man....preacher people....We talked for an hour and then he just was begging us to come back to REAL Christianity! We were like WE ARE HERE!!! Then he talked about how all the churches are starting to get together and us and JW's aren't included...I was like Daryus, that hurts! haha! Then he had the most valid argument of his whole schpeel....what word is it if you take off the "i" of moroni....we were like uhhh moron....he was like exactly.....then i laughed and laughed right there and Daryus just stood there and then I said man, you are so funny! He was so great....

Did i tell you i met a prophet...? Nope that is what happened Monday night...we got lost and knocked on a door and she said, "Oh my goodness come in! I saw ya'll at the library and now you are at my house I can't believe it!" And then all the sudden she started to pray! And I was like oh shoot and hurried and folded my arms! And then she told us she was a prophet and she actually raised someone from the dead! Pretttyyyy neat!? She was the sweetest old lady and we are going back Tuesday!

I finally got my planner back...yay! Right in time to start a new one!!! Transfer calls are this Friday...ahhhh! I am so nervous as to what is going to happen! But hey, whatever it is... I will go for it!

I love you all so much hope you have a wonderful and blessed week! Sorry this e-mail sucks but i am getting less and less inclined to tell you every detail...someday....

I LOVE YOU! THANKS FOR ALL YOUR LOVE, SUPPORT, AND PRAYERS!
