Okay so there is so much to say and never enough time to say it... so here we go.

So the week started with one of the best exchanges of my life! Sister Rasmussen is incredible and just fun to be with. But the thing that I loved most about it was the fact that I was able to "let go and let God" more then I ever have before on an exchange. He blesses those who trust Him and strive to be His hands. It was bed time and we were both praying. I knew that she has been having a hard time with somethings but I wasn't sure how to help her I prayed that Father would help me know what I could do. Then a question came to my head. I asked it and she was able to positively share things that have been hard for her and my mouth was filled in reply. But mostly I was just told to listen and love. At the end of the day she told me how much she needed someone to just listen and know that they cared. I love knowing I was an instrument in Gods hands!

Okay then come church. I was soaring like an eagle! it was that good. S kemp and I really want to have more trust from the member because that it were we are able to best fulfill our purpose. every Sunday we have a goal of meeting X amount of members and really getting to know them. So this Sunday we rocked it. There was one member that does not trust the missionaries because of things that happened in the past. We went and introduced ourselves. After talking she told us of a lunch she holds once a month with her 2 less active sisters (who we visit regularly) that she visiting teaches and a few non member friends. She said that next time she would love to have us too! BIG DEAL! (<- winkey face.) Amazing right? Then on top of all of that SISTER SOLACE came to church!!!!!! she is one of my fav people ever. She is la and has been for a long while. We see her every week and she cracks us up! so we are sitting on the back bench with two other less actives when low and behold... in she walks!! She told us that she wanted to surprise us because she knew how much it would mean to us! We were thrilled and very surprised!

We were also able to meet with the Clocherty's twice and we are meeting with them today. This will not mean anything to anyone but Hailey and I dont have time to explain so HAILEY be excited enough for all of us!! Love you!

Okay now here is the kicker.... we had a crazy good lesson with Tony. The spirit was like a ton of bricks and hit us all in the head!.. in a great way of course. So he really has a hard time with the smoking... but he is off so he can get baptized! so we committed him to give them up. Then the next day we had another lesson with him and guess what he told us??? "I am done smoking. I even gave my pack to Ellie!!" AHHHHHH we were on cloud 9. this is a big deal. it would be a bigger deal for all of you if you knew tony and if you were there. his desire was burning in his eyes! it was great!

so great week right? moral of all the sorties.... God is great, the chruch is true, following the spirit is the best, and sister draney loves being a missionary and serving the Lord! Thanks for reading folks, see you all next week! (read in anouncers voice!)

here is a great quote that I love...

"A LIFE IMPACTED BY GRACE EVENTUALLY BEGINS TO LOOK LIKE CHRIST'S LIFE."

When we are given trials it is not always because we are doing something wrong or need to be corrected. Sometimes is it just to give us an opportunity to use Grace more in our lives. Father has our best in mind and heart and so He gives us thinks to shape our live to look like His perfect sons.
