We had a great great DDM last Tuesday with the zone. Me and my companion reported on things we got from MLC. One of the big subjects and things we were supposed to train on was about Giving it our all. We asked the questions What are we actually here to do? Why is giving it your all important? How will it help us? How will we do it? and then also some scriptures that come to mind. We had a very great discussion together. This is also an important principle to apply to our everyday lives. In EVERYTHING we do we need to give it our all. No half efforts here. If you give it your all you will excel in whatever you are doing! We are teaching a 10 year old girl named Barbara. She is Sharons little sister. She is soooo smart!! We teach her the lessons in a more simple way that she'll understand and teach the most important points. She understands and remembers them suuuuper well!! I haven't seen someone like her before she is truly incredible! We have a few lessons with her and hope to have her baptized soon!! We did loooots of finding and contacting this last week. We now have a load of numbers we are going to be following up with this week. We have also gotten some referrals from members which is the best for finding because then you have someone to help you teach them and they already have a relationship with someone in the church! We have been biking a lot the last week and some of the days i was just dead tired. I was out at like 9 one night! Saturday we were at a funeral all day and then went and taught an investigator with the help of a member. We visited sister Jane again and she came to church again!! It then started raining super hard and we were up on the mountain so we went to another members for shelter and we got some ugali and pumpkin leaves out of it!! Wooow its suuuuuuper good!!! A new favorite food with ugali!! Congrats to my cousin/best friend Tim for finishing his mission this week!!! I cant believe it is already time! I still remember when you left!! I know he'll get a great welcome home!! Love ya bro!! Congrats!!! :) thanks for leading the way for us! Thats about it for the week!! Enjoy the smiles around you! Love, Elder Merz
