Lets play a game...What kind of meat did Josie eat?

This week has been well... I just dont know what to say. Good. Grand. Brilliant. MArvelous! This week we had almost every appointment fall out, but we were able to do a lot of street contacting and Door to Door. It was great. We talked to a lot of people and did our best to push the work forward!!! YAY! The gospel ROCKS! On Thursday we did District Finding-We went to the Elders in our District's area- and did street contacting. They gave us the University! It was really cool but kinda intimidating talking to kids your own age. However we gave our two Books of Mormon! One lady we gave it to started to cry. We told her she was a daughter of God and that he loved her and she started to cry!! It was beautiful! and although she did not want to make out an appoinment with us I know that she felt the spirit and will someday read the Book of Mormon we gave her! It ROCKED!!! 

On Saturday we had a full day and NONE of our appoinments fell out! It was such a blessing!!! We met with H. Sultani and Arshia! We talked about the commandments and told them they needed to be following these if they wanted to get baptized. H. Sultani was like, "DUH! These commandments will keep me close to God! Why wouldn't I keep them!" I LOVE THIS MAN!!! HE is sooo prepared!!! Arshia had problems with the Word of Wisdom, so we will keep working with him on that. But it was a great lesson. I love hearing their testimonies of this gospel!!! It is by far the best thing ever!!!! 

Now I know you are all probably wondering about the Subject of this email...well...

We had a BIG miracle this week with our investigator Agnes. She is from Africa and has had a hard time excepting the Book of Mormon. Sister Cluff and I fasted this week and felt it was time to bring it up again! So we did just that. We had a whole lesson on the Book of Mormon planned and readz to go! What it is and where it came from... and all that jazz!! Sister Cluff said right before we went into the lesson, "If agnes will read the book of mormon I will eat ANYTHING she gives me!:" However when we told her what we wanted to talk about She was not too thrilled and we were a little hesitant, but we did it anyways!!! haha. The whole time we were praying and praying that the Lord would soften her heart! and at the end we asked it she would read the Book of Mormon. This was after going back and forth-her telling me that I was a prophet and that we are all prophets... yea...she has not had the full first lesson yet... one thing at a time. And she said she would TRY! SHE SAID SHE WOULD TRY! Now, I know that you all might be thinking that is not a Yes, why is that exciting? BECAUSE!!! Before we went in their she would not even let us speak of the Book of Mormon. She would not even allow it in her house and NOW LOOK AT US! She said she would try! We were thrilled! We bore our testimonies of the truthfulness of the Gospel and the spirit was so strong!! I know that the Lord opened her heart just enough so that she would accept to read the Book of Mormon. And then as we were leaving she said, OH I MADE FOOD FOR YOU! Sister Cluff and I looked at one another and Busted up laughing. It was like Heavenly Father was like, I followed my part of the bargian now you follow yours... bahaha! Heavenly Father has a sense of Humor I don't care what anyone says. Ah. What a jem! So we are not quite sure what we ate. We were thinking it was tongue or something not Normal!!! and the best part was, IT HAD HAIR ALLLLLL OVER IT! it was AWESOME! So we chocked down a couple bites and then she said we could take some home with us too. What a jem she is! WE love her. 

I love being apart of this work! It is so incredible! I love working side by side with the Lord. He is incredible and I love him so much! I love this gospel!
