Week 20...the blessings of missionary work



Hello very cold week in Front Royal Va 


There still has been no snow but that's, but it is bone chilling cold outside!
It hasn't been a petty eventful week, but since we are covering to large areas we are definitely always on our toes moving along, a ton of people want to get baptized just not go to church but we are working on that one definitely have been very diligent in all things we do so we are getting blessed. A member of the quorum of the seventies came and talked with us saturday and it was really good, liked it a lot, very strong into the book of mormon and testimonies in, said some stuff i needed that week, so i was already diligent in reading but it helped me get moving a little faster.

So missionaries we are suppose to show an example and teach repentance and get people to keep the sabbath day holy-- but we may have been really cold yesterday and forgot it was sunday (it felt just like a normal day of proselyting) so we went in there to get hot chocolate  it and we talked to the store manager and she said she is interested and might come to church next sunday!!  so then we got are drink and right exactly when we left the store we all look at each other and yell it's sunday, so you can look at it like we just bought a cup of sin or we picked up a potential investigator, so thats the story of 3 mormon missionaries purchaing hot chocalolate on the sabbath the same thing we taught that day to keep the sabbath day holy. Just thought i would share my apostate story there.

But that same Sunday morning we had 2 investigators come to church, they really liked it, so us 3 missionaries went and bore our testimonies yesterday for them and us of course, but they said they loved it and are willing to come again so thats awesome, we had also taught them keeping the sabbath day holy......oops hopefully they did a better job then us? but at least we kept true to are fast until 5:00.

Been having a fun time but kind of stressful, good thing we are going to the D.C temple tomorrow that will be a relief, good thing we get to do it this week it is closing down pretty soon for renovation, so i am pretty excited for that, it kinda messed our schedule up But the temple is always worth it. Trying to get more pictures but don't have time to take them and they are hard to send because the computer we have does not have an SD card slot so its harder to get them to you,

The members have been super nice in front royal and supportive of all things we do, we also get fed a lot again not as much as Hagerstown but a fair amount it kinda evens out when you are always busy and don't have a big window to eat, but we have been eating healthier, so i am losing more weight and we are working out in the morning we are splitting what little weights we have in the apartment between 3 of us, so that is one con of a trio also i have been sleeping on the floor for the past 3 weeks, i took one for the team! Any ways that's about it for this week letter THANKS LOVE Y'ALL 


ELDER KILLIAN


As Kody mentioned in his letter they had the privilege of hearing from a member of the Seventy.  With this privilege they were able to sing as an entire mission.  The current challenge is who can find Kody....we can hear his voice but cannot identify him!!  Below is the link

This is Kody along with other missionaries taking the opportunity to enjoy helping those who have passed away receive the blessings of the temple.
