dinner with some members!

Hey yall!

Yesterday we had a fireside with our mission president, and anyone was invited to come. We went with one of the recent converts in the ward and it really made me feel good and want to become a better person. The firesides are meant for people investigating the church or recent converts but i love them so much. New members bare their testimony and then president takes time to give a little talk and they are always so powerful. I love hearing conversion stories and they always lift my spirits!

I saw the Burleson elders there and i told them to say hello to all the members there because i miss them so much!

Arlington is doing good we are starting to see some success in the works, we are busy finding and trying to get to know the members better. I still do not know very many of the members here and i have a huge testimony that knowing and having a good relationship with the members is an important key to success in missionary work in the ward. We have started doing some family home evening with people and started visiting more members just to get to know them and let them know we are here to help them!

Oh i forgot to tell yall the best part! last week while i was on exchange with the arlington 4th ward elder we went and visited a couple of families that i knew while i was there! And one of them was Rose and RL!!! (if you remember them from the beginning of my mission!) They were so happy to see me and kept saying "God is good!" And after our little visit with them i asked if they would want the missionaries to come over to their home again and teach them (because missionaries stopped teaching them a little over a year ago) and they said yes! so i hope that goes well! That was pretty awesome! Im grateful for the people that i have met on my mission!

have a great week!
love elder boettcher
