Nauvoo and Blessings

So the past few weeks we have been working really really hard. We would get people that would be down to hear the gospel until baptism then they were like I don't believe in baptism and stuff so that was pretty frustrating. As we kept on going and knocking and stuff we went by a part member family and the dad and the daughter seem like they would be interested so we look forward to working with them. Then Elder Jarvis and I were tracting on this street and this guy opens the door and we said hi were missionaries and he said I know I have talked to you guys before.  I was like so did you get a chance to read the Book of Mormon and he said yes it's TRUE.  We didn't really realize he said that and so we asked about if he ever went to church and he said the church is true. Then he went inside his house and grabbed these 1980's edition of the Book of Mormon . and showed us them. Then he ended up coming to church. We are teaching an older lady who seems to know the church is true and our principles make the most sense. Then yesterday  we tried  these people that had been taught by missionaries before and they seemed really interested.  Apparently, the missionaries did not do a very good job on telling them that we believed in Jesus Christ and God . Well Saturday was a pretty great day we were able to go to Carthage and Nauvoo it was pretty great. I have been there three times on my mission and it's been awesome every single time.  While we were at Carthage I met a young couple that went to Mountain Crest HighSchool (which is where Elder Hunsaker went to school for two years). They talked to me for a little bit and that was awesome because they knew some people that I knew it's a small world haha. Then we went to Nauvoo where we saw some Elders from our mission and hung out with them it was pretty awesome and I even met some that I had not met before. Aw man we were treated so nicely by all these Mormons it was so good because usually were just honked at and flipped off, but everyone was honking and waving. Everyone thought I was a missionary in Nauvoo they asked me where they should go and stuff so I just laughed and pointed them to a Sister missionary in the Nauvoo Mission.  The Nauvoo Pageant was great if you have not seen it you should . I am not even a fan of plays and it was the greatest. Nauvoo is truly the Mormon Disneyland.  I love and miss you all have a great week.
