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!!!
