"Wow - Missionary work is about to go crazy!"

Hey there family!!!

holy cow! another week! its pretty crazy, I feel like I'm starting to lose track of days haha. Anyways this week was crazy as all get out.. haha on Wenesday my bike like completely broke.. the pedals just snapped and the gears got all bent and yeah its not good lol. Sooo we walked over to another missionaries apartment and fixed up the other bike we have and it took forever but we have 2 functioning bikes now!! It was pretty crazy I got all mad at the bikes and stuff and then later n in the day we were just blessed out of our minds!! 

This one lady who at first told us to never come back and we've been working with for awhile watched the restoration video with us haha(we kinda had to trick her into watching by telling her we just wanted her opinion as a non member) The spirit worked on her the whole time we watched it and at the end she said she believed that Joesph Smith saw God the father and Jesus Christ!!!!!!!! she's still getting stuck on the Book of Mormon but we'll help her understand that no problem!! she watched Gen Conference and she said she definitely felt something when the Prophet and Apostles spoke!!! its so awesome! and on top of that she's going to the temple open house with us! Wow it felt like we were flying and I am so grateful for the Holy Ghosts ability to soften peoples hearts and testify of truth!! 

I was so stoked to hear that conference was good for yall! I hope you guys got a ton out of it! I have never been so excited and eager to watch pretty much anything as I was to watch conference this time around! and wow!! watching it as a missionary is super humbling and makes you feel like you got to be perfect for these people! haha i'm not perfect but me and my comp are gunna try flippin harder then ever know! haha we got to watch conf with this super awesome super rich member family in their basement movie theatre! haha that was cool i wish I woulda taken some pictures but I have been better! 

WOW missionary work is about to go crazy! that announcement hit me like a brick! just think if that was last year I would have already been out! I bet there are gunna be a ton more sister missionaries now! including a particularly special one! haha I'm so glad you all got to watch it together! anyways that's about it for my week. The rest was the same ole same ole. We are gunna challenge a few people this week though and I'll let you know how that goes! 

I Love you all a ton and miss you! keep on chuggin yall!!! Love Elder Aaron Steele Macfarlane

Breaking records

To MI Familia

Well hey guys! I can't believe its been a whole week already! time fly's when your insane busy i guess.. haha its good to be busy though! We broke our record so far this past week by teaching 24 lessons! it was pretty intense! it was really nice to see some of our hard work paying off. 

We started teaching this new family the Fransins and their really cool and very ready to hear the gospel. Bro Fransin is a excommunicated past missionary soo it was a little scary at first cuz he knows all the lessons but it wasn't like that at all, he was super nice and he has some real determination to change his and his families lives around and come back to church. His wife and 10 year old don't know much about the gospel so we started off by teaching them about Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. It was really neat they were super receptive and want to keep learning. Bro Fransin at the end bore his testimony of Jesus Christ and his Atonement, it was really powerful. Im so happy I get to try and help these people as they want to change!!! 

haha the rest of the week was packed! We had our first Baptism Friday!! Leanne Brown got baptized and then confirmed on Sunday! it was really a humbling experience. Her mom who isn't a member was there and even she started crying because the feeling that was there! It was pretty awesome!! I got to be a Witness! which was cool and then I got to help confirm her! the best part was seeing her smile after she was dunked lol! She just seemed so happy! so those were probably my week highlights! 

yesterday we taught a lesson to the combined youth of one of our wards about using PMG as a study tool! It was super fun and it was surprisingly easy to teach for 45mins haha we did a pretty sweet role play where I got to be the bad guy with my shades and popped collar haha they got a kick out of that! 

any ways I'm feeling pretty good and time is starting to fly holy cow! lol I hope everything is going well back home! I'm freakin excited for Conference!!!!!!!!!! for yall to! that will be awesome to have everyone in the family home for that! Thank you so much for the Package and letters!!!! It really made my day! I wore my grey suit to church and I looked pretty sharp  haha but thanks and thanks again! I hope this weekend is awesome! Love you all a ton! Love Elder Aaron Steele Macfarlane haha
