Biking, Biking, Biking!!

Another busy week this week has been. This was probably the fastest week of my mission so far, even though it has been so tiring. We did so much biking this week its nauseating, so I have felt kind of like a zombie. Our contacting area is like a mile and a half away, and its down in a valley, so when we bike back, its all uphill, we do that about twice a day. So I guess when you are busy serving others time kind of flies by, even when you feel tired.

We had a lot of success this week, we did a lot of contacting, because we had a thousand people who weren't home for lessons so we found some really cool people. Our most promising investigator, his name is Kevin, he's like 23, going to college and working a part time job. This week his co-worker that has been taking his Sunday morning shift so he could come to church, told him he isn't going to take if for him anymore, so Kevin wasn't able to come to church. He is supposed to get baptized on the 3rd of February. But this man has faith that God will provide a way for him to come to church, and we know He will too. Kevin is so excited to get baptized, and he's so prepared. The man remembers everything we tell him and always follows through on his commitments.

My spiritual experience this week was during the church broadcast announcing the new First Presidency. I hope you all had to opportunity to watch it, because it was simply amazing. When Elder Christofferson stood up there and announced the new First Presidency, and while they all spoke, the Spirit confirmed very strongly to me that President Nelson is the prophet, and has been called by God. The 12 were truly inspired of God when they ordained and set him apart as the President of the Church. There is no doubt in my mind that President Nelson and his counselors have been called by God to lead this church, and that Jesus Christ Himself stands at the head of this, His church and directs its every move. This is the true church.
