WEEK 3 SPRINGFIELD (WEEK 60 OF MISSION)

Hello family and friends!!! What a great, great week we had!!!
A picture that Sister Loveland (President's wife) took of Mikey and his comp arriving at Interviews this morning.
We had a lot of success with a whole bunch of miracles and laughs, your typical week I guess.  The coolest miracle is happening with a girl named Bri. She is 20 years old and is newly wed. We found her when we were trying to go see a less active woman and knocked on the wrong house and Bri answered.  She accepted our message with a huge smile on her face and was really sweet to us.  She and her husband are super warm and receptive.  Her husband couldn’t come to church because of work this week but she actually made it to church!!!  That is really awesome huh? 

Also we had a cool experience with two ladies named Ann and Genie. Ann has been having some really bad health problems lately and it has really been bringing her down. We went by to just stop in and teach them about the commandments and hopefully set up a baptismal date for them.  When we went in Ann was very torn up and broken down.  She asked us if we thought that God really cared about her... A tough question to answer when somebody is struggling like she was.  So Elder Roberts offered the smartest thing and that was to give her a blessing.  We gave her one and sat with her for a while and comforted her.  Then we left, she was still pretty sad when we left.  When we went back to see her she said that after we left she felt an overwhelming feeling of peace and love and she is 100% better now!  It was really awesome.  She had to go back to the doctor and on the paper they gave her to fill out for the hospital it said: preferred religion? and she wrote in "Mormon" hahahaha awesome huh?

We had an awesome exchange with the Orchard Hills elders on Wednesday which was super fun and good!!!  Our zone is trying something new from President Loveland where we stop eating member dinners and just use all of our time to find new investigators! Me and Elder Roberts were a little worried that the zone would not be on board.  The zone is so awesome though. They all picked it up immediately and it was a huge answer to our prayers and everybody is working super hard!  I am very happy Elder Roberts is such a great elder and is so funny!!  I hope you all had an awesome week!!! 

Love you all!
