Letter #66 . . . Bible Study Class and cholocate shake!

Familia!

Some highlights of the week . . we had our last interviews with President
Vest and his wife this week! They leave July 1st. I'm going to miss
them so much! 

We started a Bible study class! It's open to all the community, and we have 
taught two classes so far. It's been awesome! We are teaching Matthew 4-8 
next week from the institute manual! :)

Tanner and his comp, Elder Anderson - May, 2017

We taught the first two lessons to Ashlee this week! She's 25. She is so ready it's crazy. She's engaged to one of the members in our ward, and asked to meet with us. She's kept her commitments to read the BOM intro! She read that, and the testimony of the witnesses multiple times! She says she wants to find something "more" that she feels is missing in her life, and feels like whenever she reads the BOM and hears us teach, she feels she's finding it. 

Funny story, we dropped off a large chocolate shake from sonic on Ashlee's porch cause she was sick, and we were in the area. Turned out she wasn't home, it started pouring, and so it sat there for hours in the rain, and overflowed all over her porch hahaha. That's the story of my life . .  try to do nice things for people and she ends up with them having to clean off sticky chocolate shake of her porch for 20 minutes. ;)

Liberty Jail - May,

We went to Liberty Jail with her this week, and took her on a tour. At the end of it, she got emotional bearing her testimony of the Savior.
She said she has felt more peace in the last week than she ever has. We put her on date right at the end of the tour, sitting at the base of Liberty Jail. It was such a cool experience. She's great. Her baptismal date is set for June 3rd! :) That night we took her to a little Mission President's fireside where the recent converts in the area share their testimonies! Ashlee thought that was awesome. They had me play and sing, "Be Still My Soul"! That was the audio recording you got mom! The lady that sent it is an old friend of President Vest back in their home ward in Texas that came to visit them! She was awesome. Also got to perform that song at a baptism in one of the other companionship's areas!


We also took another investigator, Ryan to the Liberty Jail earlier in the week. Before taking the tour, we watched the new Oliver Cowdery Priesthood Restoration video. He thought it was awesome and asked a lot of questions. Went through a tour of Liberty Jail. He said it was interesting and cool... Still needs to gain a witness by himself before any of this matters to him.
I love sharing my testimony of the Book of Mormon so much. It shows us how much Christ really loves us. I've been trying to cherish every moment I have out here. Time is going by fast!
 
Love ya,

- Tan

PS. Our investigator Ashlee is in the middle!
