What an awesome week! Where to begin.... well I have kind of gone through a mid mission crisis this week ha ha. On Friday my companion and I were sitting up at nancy's house which overlooks my area and I had the biggest feeling of panic because I only have a year left here. lol I was like telling my companion how I feel like I just got here and how scared I am for it to be over in a year. He was like man are you ok.. ha ha I was all I think I'm having a mid mission crisis. It was pretty funny. We didn't really do anything for my one year. Actually everyone in my apartment forgot it was my one year. I was kind of bummed but watev. We had the Baptism on Saturday for Nancy it was so awesome. She was so excited and got up afterward and bore the sweetest testimony. She is such a strength for the branch. She is already giving us referrals like crazy. She gave us a referral of her best friend named Water (Seriously though her name is Water) But she is way cool. She is a Muslim but is really interested in the church. She is like 18 I think. And she is living with the father of her baby. We asked her if he would be interested in hearing our message and she said that she would talk to him. So later we asked if she talked to him and she said ya he said as long as your not Jehovah witnesses then he said he has no problem meeting with you. Lol it made me laugh really hard. People here don't like the Jehovah Wittnesses because they wont pray when they come to discuss with you. The people here love that we always begin and end every discussion with a prayer. So I'm really excited to sit down with him. So this week I'm just really trying to stay focused and not think about next week because next week is our big missionary conference and the Elders from Bo are all coming and then the missionaries are going to be putting on a big fireside for all the members and investigators so its going to be sweet. We had a really cool experience this week. We have this investigator named Alma (She has no idea how her parents herd that name and gave it to her but I think its a coincidence). Anyways she has been Investigating for over a year now. And she has recently decided not to come to church again because some people offended her and stuff but I'm working on sorting it all out. Anyways we went to visit her this week and she wasn't feeling to well and instantly when I saw her the impression came to me (Elder you need to give her a priest hood blessing) So i was like alright. So we sat down and I asked her what she knew about the priesthood and we talked about it a little and then I asked her if she believed that God would heal her and she said yes and I asked her if she wanted a P.hood blessing and she said yes. So I gave her a blessing and it was one of the most powerful blessings I have every experienced. Right after we finished with the blessing she immediately had the energy to get up out of her chair and escort us out and she said her headache was gone and she was feeling a little better. After we left my companion was like MAN did you feel how strong the spirit was haha it was funny. I really hope that will be faith growing experience for her. I get to see miracles like this happen all the time its so amazing I love it. That's why I'm so sad its half way over haha. But thank you all for the love and support. I love you all so much and legitimately appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers. We are truly receiving the blessings.
Elder Lancaster
