Hey!
This week we've been working on finding a lot. We really wanted to
get more people on date so that November can be super successful. We're
working with a lot of great people right now and we're working really
hard to help them receive the gospel of Jesus Christ. This couple, we knocked into on Wednesday. (The lady) was a little timid at
first but her boyfriend was really open and excited to have us come
in and teach. We taught them a solid first lesson and commited them to
be baptized next month. We're seeing them again tonight and we're hoping
that they're still as solid as they were when we first met them. They
have two pet squirrels which is pretty cool and a son that we're hoping
to talk to tonight as well.
(There) is a lady we knocked into awhile back who we taught a
solid first lesson to and she was super ready to hear the gospel but
her husband didn't want her to see us anymore. I've been praying really
hard that his heart would be softened. Last Monday, we ran into her
while we were grocery shopping and told her about our ward's trunk or
treat this weekend and she invited us to bring a flier by later that
week. On Thursday night we were on exchanges, so I was with a zone
leader Elder Staker, in our area. We brought the flier to (this lady) and
her and her cousin answered the door. Her cousin said she was one of us
and we asked about it and she said she grew up Mormon in New Jersey. She
was in Young Women's played in the Young Women's basketball tournament
and even did baptism for the dead. She said she hadn't gone too much
after she moved out of the house but was now living pretty close to
Jeletha. I
was super excited and invited her to talk to Jeletha's husband about it
before we left. (The lady) called us later that night and said her husband
had talked to her about being Mormon for the rest of the night and
he was a lot more open to it and interested. She said her whole family
would be at the Trunk or Treat and that we could come see her again. I'm
so excited for her and I cannot wait to teach her and her family. I'm
super excited for them and want to help her cousin get back into the
church as well. We'll try to teach all of them at the same time in the
future.
We got a lot of solid leads this week as well so we'll plenty to do
in November. (One lady), will be getting baptized on Nov 3rd as well
as (one guy). David A Bednar is coming to speak to the whole mission
that evening!!! I'm so excited! He'll also be speaking in church the
following Sunday in our ward which is awesome. I'll be sure to let y'all
know everything he talks about. This is incredibly,
incredibly exciting!
I'm super excited for Solomon and Amanda adopting Gideon! I want pictures for sure. I'm glad everything worked out for them. :)
The work is going so well and I'm just excited for everything. I love being a missionary and I love you guys.
