Hello!
So I don't really remember much of this week. We ended up getting pretty close to reaching our BHAGs (Big Hairy Audacious Goals) that we set during weekly planning last week, so apparently we did something right. Here are a couple of highlights from what I do remember:
We met with a friend named J___ we haven't been able to see since I got here. We had a super great lesson, and he committed himself (like made his own goal without us asking) to read and pray every day this week about the Book of Mormon. He is great! We also taught the C___'s this week. They are doing really good, they are a fun family! They were out of town on Sunday but they should come to church next week.
The highlight was R___! She loved the church tour last Sunday, and sure enough she came to church this week! She liked it a lot and is coming again next week!! We got to teach her after church and it was a great lesson. We had some total homie moments with her and with the member we brought and some powerful spiritual moments in the lesson too. :)

We
focused lots this week on helping people receive revelation, and I feel we are
on the right track. They are definitely feeling the spirit, and they are
starting to recognize those feelings for what they are. I have high hopes and high
visions for these people. :)
Other than that, we haven't had hair cuts in like over a month and my hair is getting really, really, ridiculously long (that is where the spiky hair pictures come from.) We saw Kelly twice this week, and that is always fun times. I helped Elder B___ buy winter clothes because he is from Arizona and has never been cold before, and an REI lady tempted me to be a REI member. I think I would like to work at REI while I am in college, because then I can get discounts on kayaks and rock climbing stuff and I can go on lots of adventures, which is what I love! :D That and the gospel ;)

This
week I am ponderizing Mosiah 7:18-19 and 33
18 And
it came to pass that when they had gathered themselves together that he spake
unto them in this wise, saying: O ye, my people, lift up your heads and be
comforted; for behold, the time is at hand, or is not far distant, when we
shall no longer be in subjection to our enemies, notwithstanding our many
strugglings, which have been in vain; yet I trust there remaineth an effectual
struggle to be made.
19 Therefore,
lift up your heads, and rejoice, and put your trust in God, in that God who was
the God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob; and also, that God who brought the
children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, and caused that they should walk
through the Red Sea on dry ground, and fed them with manna that they might not
perish in the wilderness; and many more things did he do for them.
33 But if ye will turn to the Lord with full purpose of
heart, and put your trust in him, and serve him with all diligence of mind, if
ye do this, he will, according to his own will and pleasure, deliver you out of
bondage.
Life
is good, hope it is for everyone else!

Happy P-day! From Elder Branch
