Week 15

Well, it was definitely fun talking to you all yesterday! it feels like a dream now...not sure I believe it happened.

 

This week there isnt a ton to update on...We had almost every single appointment fall through this week, although it was only through that that we were able to see several miracles.

 

I believe yesterday I mentioned that we were going to see a former investigator, but we found out from a man who answered the door, named Alejandro, that they had moved. Alejandro started talking to us and we found out that about 5 years ago he met with the msisionaries several times. For a reason unknown to us he stopped meeting with them. Since that time, he has been reading the book of mormon and re-reading chapters he likes. He has come to know that the book is inspired and that it can bring peace to any person who reads it. My companion and I were standing there in shock as he was talking to us about how much he loved the book of mormon and how much it had blessed his life. He said that he was so grateful for missionaries and that everyone should read the book of mormon.

 

Needless to say, we got his address and we are sending some missionaries to his home in florida in order to teach and baptize him.

 

Another cool thing that happened this week is that we had knocked on a house and a really old man walked up to the door and opened it and motioned for us to come in. His wife came stomping down the stairs and was like, "NO, DO NOT LET THEM IN! WE DO NOT KNOW THEM!!" as she quickly  ushered us out the door she said to not come back and that they did not want to buy anything, they already had a church and they were content with their lives.

 

...no further comments were needed as we hightailed it back to our car.

 

Last night, we decided that we would go sing for some elderly people since it was mothers day. We happened to be near this same womans house again and as we drove by, we decided to stop. I dont think she rememebered us, but we walked up and started talking and asked if we could sing her a song. She was so kind and friendly and she was really happy that we had stopped by. I guess it goes to show you cant judge people based on first impressions!!

 

also, this week we took a female member of our ward out to some appointments. As we were driving along the street she made the comment about how she had several friends who might want to listen to us. So instead of going to see other people that night we just sat in the car and had this member take us to several of her friends houses and talked about seeing several more when she got the chance to come out with us again. It was a cool experience!

 

well...I think thats about it for the week!! Love you all and I hope you can have a wonderful week!!!:)
