Well hello everybody!
Things
here have been pretty amazing this week. I was really worried last night
that we wouldn't be able to meet our goals for the week, because the
work has just been a little interrupted as we've had some unexpected
opportunities to do service. It was great though, and we were able to
find a family that we are going to try and teach through it!
Last night we found 3 investigators in 1 night! We were
invited to have lunch with 1 member family, and they invited their non
member inlaws to come. We were able to share a powerful message and
they really appreciated it and asked us to come back in the future.
They aren't officially investigators because we didn't set a specific
return appointment but the members are excited to keep working with
them. Then we had a dinner appointment where the members invited emily
(our recent convert), Nikki (our baptismal date), and Chris (a non
member) and we were able to teach about faith. The members have been
working with Chris for years and they really didn't think that he would
even stay to hear the message but he did and then he asked to see us next sunday!
So next week the members will feed him dinner agian, and then we will
come after the meal and share our message. THE LORD IS PREPARING
PEOPLE!
This ward is amazing, nobody invites us over for dinner with out
letting there be at least a less active, a non member, or asking if
Emily can come as well. I love how the work is not just ours in this
ward, but we are ALL doing the Lord's will. Yesterday, Sister Hancock
and Sister Bates (our mini missionary) and I were able to teach High
Priests about how they can do missionary work. The spirit was so
strong and there wasn't an eye that was dry.
I LOVE THIS WORK!
This morning we were able
to go teach a south african man who was a referral from missionaries in
the air port who met him on his way to perth 3 days ago. It was an
amazing experiance and we shared about the Prophet and general
conference. When we told him that the Prophet of the Lord is going to be
speaking to the whole world this saturday
he said "OH WOW THAT IS WONDERFUL!" and if he's not working he will
come with us. His wife has met missionaries in the past and was a
little standoffish to us at first but when we started sharing about
Jospeh's experiance the spirit softened her up. I really love them and
hope that they come into the gospel!
I love all of you!
