Week 31 - Success in Unplanned Things (5/30/2017)

Well this week has been a rather different week.We had some weird success in things that were unplanned. And the success we had in planned things was small. To start off will be with the planned things. So we had a planned lesson with a hopeful new investigator that wanted to learn more about the Gospel. She came in and ready to learn and just open up to the spirit. It was pretty neat and amazing to see her willingness to learn the Gospel. We shared the Restoration and the Spirit was there it was amazing. The next one and the last one we had was sharing the Restoration with a lady (notice all these are girls...) who has met with missionaries, has been searching and wants to know more. We brought a couple with us from the Ward to go with us into the lesson and the husband of the couple is not a member. So he sat quietly as his wife bore testimony of the Book of Mormon and of the Restoration which is what we taught. It was awesome to hear it and just feel of the spirit that was in that room. 
Now for the unplanned success. So we've been doing service for this one guy for a really long time and we had nothing falling through and no one was home when we went contacting. So I felt like we should go visit him. We caught them just as they were getting home from the store so we helped them take their groceries into the house. It was neat experience talking with him cause he opened up to us in ways we didn't think of. He opened and talked about soccer and then onto the Atonement of Christ. It was just cool as he asked questions about it and other things. And the next one which was pretty neat was yesterday's cool experience of when we were driving in town. We saw a moving sale sign and thought to check it out. We got unto the street and saw a member cleaning her yard so we pulled over and started talking with her. As we were talking, Elder Posadas noticed that the neighbor seemed to be moving in. So we asked the member what she knew and she had said she was moving in all today and yesterday. So we decided to go and help her out. We went to help her out and she was very thankful for us stepping into help. It was just her and her three daughters that were moving out of Burley into Declo, hoping to keep it permanent. So we talked with her for awhile and stated our purpose and left with her our number. She invited us back once she is settled in. So we then went to the gas station afterwards and starting talking with some members and an investigator of ours was there so we got to talking with him. We talked and he invited us to come back later in the day to talk. It was awesome unplanned things cause that was all unplanned. We originally planned to go contacting and instead we just hung around. It is awesome seeing what great things will come to pass. Well cause I am short on time today I just want to let you all know that I love you all so very much and miss you!! Hope you have a great week!!!
