Dear Family,

This week was awesome!! we found two knew investigators this week, and one of them has just been completely prepared by the lord to receive the gospel. i kind of feel like what he is saying is a trick like someone has told him exactly what to ask and what to say. seriously its crazy awesome. he owns his own business and does a lot of ice fishing (which i totally want to do, yeah.. i'm turning Canadian on yas) we are so excitedt o go back and teach him! we will see him again on wednesday. 

i had exchanges on thursday with my mtc companion! i was so nervous for it, just becuase of the way that we left off, but it was so fun, she was nervous too but we just totally made it one of the best days i have had in a long time! we got to see and teach Melanie and Chris (the part member couple that's not married that i started teaching in belleville with sister cross) and when we came out of the lesson my temporary comp sister kurtz said, oh my heavens that was the best lesson we have had with them in forever! and i guess it opened doors because melanie is getting married next month and baptized march 7!!!!!!!!!! i am so happy for them:)) i love that family with all my heart!

then on Saturday we got to hear from ELDER OAKS!! oh yeah! he is so funny, and our area seventy came, elder allard and then elder oaks companion was elder kacher, who in return are both amazing as well. it was such a good day. i have a strong testimony of what the prophets and inspired leaders of the church have said, "what you put into it, is you get out of it." and i had so many questions a few that were personal but mostly ones of how we can help our investigators move forward with their specific concerns. i had them all written out and throughout the meeting all i had to do was fill in the answer, it was remarkable, the lord truly hears our prayers!! 

 

there is even greater work to look forward to this week, earl and sharon said they will be at churhc this sunday, so we are looking forward to that, and hopefully we can get tracy there too ( he was the one who gave earl and sharon as a refferal to us, we met him tracting, and didtne have much success with him until his wife started sitting in on our lessons (anne, she is catholic and doesn't want to join just likes to listen)). anne holds tracy back from coming to church because they go to her brothers church in belleville (hes a preist). but Tracy is very involved in the lessons and could be progressing if Anne wasn't holding him back, we wont give up on him!!

i saw janet taylor Saturday and that's who this picture is with, she is someone i knew from my first area in Mississauga.  and i dont have the picture with sister kurtz with me i will give it next week.

I love you all!! 

Love Sister Hadley
