Golden member referral, Zone conference!

Hi everyone!  Sorry for the long email this week, but this week was pretty solid.  We got three referrals this week!  One was from a member.  Sister Wier called us up and invited us to dinner with her childhood friend, with whom she had been discussing the gospel.  She wanted a Book of Mormon and a KJV Bible, and came with a lot of questions!  She was very prepared!  Initially she wasnt sure she wanted to take the discussions or read the book of Mormon, but we were able to resolve her concerns and assure her that the best way to answer her questions was through the discussions.  She has a lot of potential, and I am so excited!  She really seems to be searching for the truth, and I am so happy that I have the opportunity to show her the way!  

The second referral was from Facebook!  We were teaching a guy over Facebook, and about half way through the lesson he was like, "hey can you teach this to my sister?  She would really like this!" We were so excited!  He gave us her info, and she is receiving it very well!  We got the last referral from Mormon.org just the other day.  It didn't have much info with it, but we will try to contact them tonight or tomorrow.  

We also had zone conference this week, which was awesome!  We had a really good discussion about the ways that we have seen success using Facebook, we had a really good training from President Smith about the importance of having the spirit and an awesome training from Sister Smith on goal-setting.  We also got to sign a painting of the temple, signifying our commitment to the 100 day challenge to become more converted to the savior before our temple trip in January!  Also, we had a representative from Salt Lake visiting.  He gave a training on vehicle safety and replaced all the tiwis.  (A tiwi is a little box they put in the car to help us avoid accidents, speeding, reckless driving etc)

We picked up Joseph and Flo for church with Brother Krebs, and the Spanish sister missionaries came all the way out here from Chesterfield to be at church with Flo.  It was really good for her.  Needless to say, things are going pretty well out here!  I hope you all have seen similar joy and success in your efforts!  Until next week,
