Working in the Vineyard...Getting Dirty

This week we visited with the Marques family.  We got to know them and talked about there goals and how they want to make it to the temple.  They came to church yesterday and it was super exciting to see them.  On Wednesday we visited the Scott's with our ward mission leader and taught about the power of Christ's grace.  They expressed concerns at feeling offended or not included at church, which is sad because they are letting that get in the way of blessings.  I went on exchange with Elder Hopkins, my district leader here and we had lots of fun working hard and talking to people.  We found some potentials this week and we hope they turn out well.  We only had one lesson with an investigator this week, it was a great one with Linda where she committed to make reading the Book of Mormon a priority.  We are really hoping she does because otherwise we can't help her is she doesn't have the desire to grow.  We are trying to work setting up a preparation day where we can play Axis and Allies in the next few weeks, that should be a memorable day.  The service project of the week was going to the vineyard on Saturday.  We were there from 6-11 so it was super fun to wake up at 4am and go running before we headed down south to harvest the grapes.  It was so much fun and really dirty.  I am a bit sore from all the work there but it was totally worth it.  We are really trying step up our efforts in involving the ward in what we do, in our teaching, finding, and in also helping them so I am excited to see the miracles that come.
