Well Elder Powell hit the sick bug so the last two days Sister Summerhays told me to take it easy. I hate it to be honest I wanted to be out working. Its nothing serious just sinus and a pretty annoying cold but she didnt want me to spread it on to others. So I did alot of reading and studying and we worked on our area books and called old potentials and formers. But I can tell you if I was a missionary that stayed in all day I would go nuts and probably go home. We are being blessed right now we have two with a date K and P, and hopefully we will get S with a date next week. P we saw yesterday and she promised that she would come to church this sunday. Scame to church that was great and came to FHE again so were excited about that. S is starting to read more and K has been reading his assignments and says he feels good when he reads. We hopefully will get him out to church this week. But this sunday will be interesting Elder Norton will be going up to the Kane branch and I will be going to the Ridgway branch. After the meetings the Ridgway Branch will be doing a media blitz where members of the church that havent mailed out their Books Of Mormon will go out and hand out Church media to people of the community im going on a exchange with a member and im excited to have him lead out to see how he does it. After church im supposed to teach the branch some approaches to use and just how to possibly go about handing out this media I remember my first days of talking to strangers and it takes you out of your comfort zone haha. But me and Elder Norton gave talks this past sunday mine was about the sacrament how we can prepare, and the symbolic and important nature of the sacrament. I always forget to bring my inspirational thoughts so sufficeth to say I was enlightened. I felt the Lord helped me in my talk. But ive been enjoying my study in the Old Testament and Book Of Mormon. I ve been going through both highlighting every thing that stands out. I definetly recomend it it takes alot longer but later on it really helps you. Also I would suggest a study journal. But im doing good I hope I get over this sickness soon take care and remember to read your scriptures. With Love Elder Powell
