BEST WEEK EVER!

 This week was the best week of my mission so far. We taught more lessons than we usually do, and we committed three people to be baptized on Dec 3.  It was an awesome week. Last night we had the most spiritual lesson I've ever had on my mission. It was with a lady who knows that the church is true and has been meeting with the missionaries for two years now. We have been helping her try to overcome her smoking addiction and get baptized but she never wanted to set a date because it stresses her out which makes her want to smoke even more. Her smoking has been getting better and we felt like we should set a baptismal date with her and her 10 year old foster child (who reminds me alot of Jackson, the boy that I baptized).
   We watched Prophet of the Restoration with her because she has been taught every lesson multiple times and we didn't want to be repetitive or annoying. That video is very good at bringing in the spirit. At the end of the video the spirit was thick in the air and it was very quiet. We told Michel, her child, that he was old enough to be baptized and asked him if he would like to do that. He seemed like he had been waiting for us to ask him that question and quickly said yes. We committed him to Dec 3 and then turned to Cheyenne and committed her to that same date. The spirit was raging and she committed without hesitating. It was awesome.  My comp was fighting back tears. It was sweet.
  A good week.
        There was an earthquake two nights ago here. I didn't feel it, but all the other missionaries did. Apparently it was kinda big. Today there is an 80% chance for tornados! I'm excited to see a tornado but the weather doesn't look like there is going to be a tornado. But I did see big lightning storms in the distance last night. Pretty cool.

OKLAHOMA CITY — A 5.6 magnitude earthquake shook central Oklahoma late Saturday. What could be the largest temblor in the state's history damaged homes, shook buildings, caused cracks and rattled a college football stadium 50 miles from the epicenter.

Chimneys collapsed through roofs of homes.
Area residents reported glass breaking and items falling from walls.
Several roadways buckled, including Highway 62 and other county roads.

The quake was shallow at 3.1 miles deep and occurred at 10:53 p.m. Central Daylight Time. It was centered about 45 miles east of Oklahoma City. Several smaller aftershocks struck early Sunday.
