Hey
everyone,
I don’t have
much time. So really quick, this week was amazing! It had its ups and downs. Last
Monday night we taught Julian and his wife Becky! They have 2 young babies. They
are great! They don’t really know what church is actually true. So we teach
them the Restoration a lot! Cause obviously they can relate to Joseph Smith! So
we are going to teach them tonight with a member named Bret again, he’s an
awesome guy too he’s 28 years old and is hilarious! So Bret taught them a lot
last week and he bore his testimony about the book of Mormon and how our
families can live together forever! It was emotional and the spirit was
present! ;) So I’m praying so hard that that family will be baptized! Cause
they are so great and I love them!
During the
rest of the week. We didn’t have too much success..We did get 2 new investigators, last Tuesday! Which was amazing! Then nothing too much happened the rest of the
week until last night! Wow! So long story short, we went and visited 2
different potentials that lived in this village in the middle of nowhere. And
we almost just didn’t visit them/drop them, but we decided to go visit these 2
different families one last time, cause we’ve been trying to see these people
for 2 months and they were never home or they were "ill"... so we
knocked on the first potentials door named Mark and Judee. Mark said they didn’t
have enough time to talk to us. But Judee looked at him like he was stupid. Ha ha
and she said "mark of course we have enough time to talk to these guys
about the bible." haha so mark was like okay come in...ha ha YES!! So we
sat down got to know them, and they have been struggling spiritually. They don’t
really like the church that they are going to now. Cause the people are not
supportive. blah blah.. And I was so pumped cause our ward is the best and they
would love our ward! So we taught them the restoration and about the book of Mormon
obviously and they were just so willing to listen and asked great questions,
and we just had the spirit with us! It was so great then we watched the book of
Mormon DVD that we hand out to people with them, it was only 12 minutes long. And
after that they were just shocked, and they asked for a book of Mormon! HAHA!
YES!!! So yes we will see them next Sunday!! And they said they WILL read and
pray! :) So happy!
Okay and
then. The other potentials that we were going to see right after mark and
judee, k so we knocked on there door for like the 12 time in 2 months and they
finally let us in!! The guy that we were trying to see was named Len, and his
son was the one that answered the door and his name is Ben.. Haha he’s about 21
years of age. So he invited us in and we went in their back garden and just sat
down and started talking with Ben and Len! It was great! We had a lot of laughs
and just got to know each other! It was great! So after 2 flippin hours of
talking. Ha ha I finally told them why we are here at their home and what we do
and what we invite them to do! They were all ears, but Ben doesn’t believe in
God. He believes in Energy...... so he was willing to listen to us. So we
taught the Restoration again. Haha and ben had a lot of great questions as
well! Len as well again. Haha so it all just made sense to them! I quoted the
first vision to them and their eyes were just glowing! After I was done sharing
my testimony about the restoration they were blown away! And Ben asked for a
book of Mormon! (2 people just ASKED for a Book of Mormon! heck yes) and I
shared moronis promise with him, I had ben read it and after he read it I asked
what he felt and what stood out to him, and he said the meat of the verse! Have
pray with a sincere heart with real intent having faith is Jesus Christ and you
will know the truthfulness of the Holy Ghost. He said all of that! And he said he’s
feeling something that he doesn’t really feel, I asked what does it feel like,
and he said it’s hard to explain, I told him that was the spirit working
through him. And he said oh my gosh I know! Haha it was so awesome! Then I told
him the spirit is hard to explain to people, cause it’s just so wonderful! I
used the analogy that GREAT SCOTT told me, "well what does salt taste
like?" haha perfect dad! I asked them that questions and how it’s relevant
on how to explain the spirit. They totally agreed! It was such a wonderful
experience you guys. I love being a servant my savior, and I know that we are
literally instruments in his hands. I witnessed that last nigh and it was an
experience I will not forget. I later asked told them about baptism and the
atonement, and how they could be reborn again and kind of have a restart in
there lives, being forgiven of there sins, they really were interested in that!
;) So next Sunday hopefully we will have a few baptismal dates! :)
So real quick
on the pictures. The 2 studs with the union jack onezees! Are the AP's! I love
them so much! Haha they are hilarious! They spent the night at our flat on Saturday
night and they and pres. & sister Millar were coming to our ward! I was so
scared cause was giving a lesson the next day! It went well but was very
scary with the ap's listening to the lesson. Haha, so yeah Sunday
was a great day! Our new president is an awesome guy! And sister Millar is the
most kind lady ever! I love them already!
