Hello everyone! how are you guys doing? i am doing great here i Tucker! in the brockett ward! elder horner is a great elder to serve with, i have to push him alot to work hard, but he is doing great!things are going wonderful here! we picked up 8 new investigators this week and 91 positive contacts! way cool huh?We had a way cool experience with a Less active last night, he served a mission in Germany, and we talked about his mission and i asked him about miracles he saw on his mission and it made him break down into tears to remember the spirit he felt on his mission! and the spirit was so strong, and i had tears in my eyes from the experience! we really learned what it means to "Teach people, not lessons" with people last night! it was such a neat experience! and the AP's text me this morning saying, we are doing a grweat job! that we are starting that fire in that area again! it was really cool!
