Aloha

 how are you doing?  I am doing pretty good this week. there have weeks that were better but we are hanging in there. 
Who are you meeting with now?  We just got a member referral and we are meeting with her on Tuesday (tomorrow) and we are sooooo excited. she is 70 and is a member of the catholic church but doen't like how they are changing things they have done for 100 of years so she is looking for truth! well guess what?! we have it haha!
I wonder if the quirky neighbor you have is just casually reaching out to the missionaries?  she is totally crazy and wont leave us alone... she came over like 7 times one morning and called 4 times as well.... we ignored her and she tried to open our door to see if it was opened. luckily I had locked it a few mins previous haha. she is just crazy. we have sorted out that mess and she promised us she wouldn't come over until noon everyday because of our studies and training haha.
when did you feel the Lord's hand directing you this week?  I definitely felt it this week when we were at a less actives apartment ( her name is sophie :}) and sister stew and I decided just to read the BofM with her so we did. then her roommate who is a less active catholic decided to stay and listen while we had our lesson. she stayed for the prayer and everything when she usually just left or sat in her room. then we started reading and asked if Jill (the roommate) wanted to join in reading and she said that she was a good listener. so sis stew, sophie and I read 1 Ne 4 out loud and then talked about what stuck out to us in that chapter. then I had a feeling that we should read another chapter which was chapter 5 and it is a short one. so we were about to start reading again and Jill raised her had and was like "I like to read out loud too" and so we handed her a BofM and she read with us and when we started talking about the chapter we had just read she would ask us questions and we would answer them using the chapter in the book of Mormon. It was amazing! so I am not sure if she will be there tonight when we meet with sophie again but we hope she will be haha :}
Your favorite teaching moment was when.... we were talking with a member who just needed to talk to someone and we came to mind. we were talking about our missions and how fun they are (she served an mission in Portugal) and we were talking about when we went to the temple and she talked about how bad of an experience it was and how after her mission she has never gone back. sister stew and I just talked with her for 2 hrs about our stories at the temple (not in detail) but how we both felt like we were at home. by the end of the meeting she felt the spirit and was so grateful that we had come over and talked to her :} it was amazing! 
you and Sis Stewart learned this______ by the spirit this week:) We learned what it means to have "real intent" when we read and pray about the Book of Mormon. It was crazy cuz it just clicked in both of our minds and we realized that with real intent means to act on the prompting or the revelation Heavenly Father gives you. it was so cool to see the light bulbs click on while we were talking about it haha
what did you learn in your Scripture study this week?  I learned about the light of Christ and how the Holy Ghost brings to remembrance those things that we have learned before and how the Holy Ghost tells those truths to the Light of Christ within every one of us! it was a crazy study experience for me.
do you sing in the car AND while walking? Do we sing? that is a silly question haha. sis stew and I pretty much sing whenever we get a chance haha. we mostly just sing in the car or in our apartment, but we sometimes sing while we walk/tract. its so fun!
do you sing in people's homes?  the spirit is always brought in when uplifting music is present.  We actually have haha. Elder Beus left this morning so at every dinner appointment this week, we had he wanted us to sing, so we did. we all sang "One Voice" and it was awesome! we also sang "Sweet Hour of Prayer" which was just beautiful :}
have you had a chance to talk in church?  or bear your testimony? I haven't given a talk in church or bore my testimony but I have taught 2 book of Mormon class this transfer and bore my testimony there if that counts. plus sis stew and I bare our testimonies every time we teach someone haha

I love you guys so much and appreciate all the prayers and support that is coming my way :}
Love you!
Love Sis Boult!
