P.U.B.S and Love

You may be wondering why I am emailing on a Wednesday when I usually email on a Tuesday. Well, the reason is this; There was a trainee meeting at the Ox Road Chaple, so while Elder Rickertsen was there, I was on an exchange with Elder Heart in Arlington because he is training as well. We weren't able to get a whole lot done during the exchange, but that is mainly because it was the morning and we usually just do on-line stuff then. So I was with him for about three hours and then their meeting was over. During lunch with Elder Heart, we did go to Cafe Rio! That made the day, right there. The people that work there really like the missionaries (as you can tell, Cafe Rio is a mission favorite). Because they like us so much and we always go there, they gave us a sweet discount! I was pretty stoaked! $4.99 for a Sweet pork Burito! Anyways, that was definately a highlight. After Lunch was over, Elder Rickertsen and Elder Lee met us back at their apartment. Oh!!!!! I should probably mention how we got to Arlington in the first place. THEY GAVE US A CAR!!! As awesome as it was to have been on bike for an enitre year of my mission, it is nice to be able to use a car to get to appointments.
     Alright, now moving on to the rest of the week.There have been a ton of fall-through appointments, but we are keeping our heads up and looking forward to a brighter tomorrow. Elder Rickertsen is getting better at door approaches. We have done a ton of tracting. I have come to really enjoy tracting. I think it is fun to talk to all sorts of new people. Anyways... We had an awesome finding excperience the other night. there is this street that we always accidently turn down and we have to go down the coldesac to get out, but we always are accidently turning down it. we had some down time (an Hour) because of fallthrough appointments and decided to go tract there. It went marvelously! I love those times where you know that you are in the right spot at the right time because the spirit prompted you to be there. While there, we found a member's house, Got atleast 2 return appointments and recieved an invitation to a bible study group that some people from McLean Bible are putting together. The guys name was Zach, so we had that in common. AH!!!! Such an awesome night of finding! One guy's name is Gauge and we plan to teach him really soon, so if you could pray for him, that would be super appreciated.
     And now, the moment you have been waiting for and the answer to the question that everyone has been asking. What is with the title? Pubs and Love? uh...... do I really want to know? yes, yes you do.
P - Pray
U - Use Scriptures
B - Bear Testimony
S - Share Experiences
 and show LOVE to them and the Savior.
all these things are ways to invite the spirit into lessons. they work super well, so if you ever need a little outline for giving a talk or home teaching, this came straight out of PMG, so it should do the trick. This is what I taught durring District meetings yesterday. it seemed to be a good topic to teach about, so I am only hoping that people use it.
     That's about all. Be sure to check out my the DropBox because there are some phots and a recording. Thanks for all you guys do for me and I love you all!
