So this week was transfers and it makes things a little crazy but some many
mighty miracles happened this week!
A couple of weeks ago we street contacted into this lady and commited her
to come to church with us! We never saw her at church which made us a little sad
but last monday we got a media referral, and the name seemed really familiar. We
went to drop the bible off to the media referral and low and behold it was the
lady we had street contacted into! She recognized us and invited us in and we
were able to teach her more about the characteristics of God! She is from china
and knows nothing of God and when we told her we believe we are children of a
loving heavenly father she got excited and her face lit up and she said the
sweetest prayer where she begged a God she barely knew to please help her become his daughter. It was a great experience thats for sure! We get to go back and
teach her and we are SUPER excited. Unfortunately we also found out she did try
to find the church but wasnt able to locate it so she went to a local church
instead and feels like she shouldn't leave them right away.... thats okay we will
change that soon enough!
We also got asked out for a beer... again... me and Sister Fellows were
walking in our area when we started talking to a guy who was out by his truck.
We talked for a good ten minutes about the gospel and why we are out here
inviting him to learn more... when we told him we would call him to see how his
book of mormon reading is going he asked us if we ever went to the pub.... i
mean SERIOUSLY! Part of me was tempted to say yes only if you let us pray with
you and teach you... but then reality set back in and we had to respectfully
decline.... hopefully he still chooses to look into the book of mormon and we
will still be following up on how that is going by calling him sometime this
week.
E***...(he is one of the elders investigators that like everybody works with)
has decided to get baptized... After two long painful years of investigation
(painful for the elders due to his enormous amount of questions and objections, and
long because it is overdue) he has decided to be baptized oct 12 at 7:00!!!! we
are so excited and proud of him and are rejoicing with his wife who joined a
couple years ago!
Now about my new companion! Her name is Juli Fellows and she is from utah!
She is incredible and I like her a lot! We are very similar in a lot of things so we
know this is going to be a fun transfer. She also is very sarcastic and stubborn
so thats always a hoot too! I have a feeling she is going to work me hard and we
are going to get things done this transfer. We have a transfer goal of 2
baptismal dates so if you can remember to keep that in your prayers i know that
will help us!
Things are going fantastic here! I love the weather, the people and (i know
i cant even believe im saying this but) the city... I really am learning a lot on
my mission and i know this is where i need to be right now... I wish everyone
the best week ever!
