5.2.16
This week we had some good success with referrals we have
received. The first one let us into her home and we were able to share a short
message with her. Elder Meyers had a cool idea of reading a powerful bible
verse about the Savior and then reading another powerful bible verse from the
Book of Mormon. It was pretty awesome and the lady was pretty excited about the
Book of Mormon. There really is powerful in the Book of Mormon and people can
feel it! She has committed to read and pray about it. We set a return
appointment to come and teach her the Restoration. She was so kind to us and
thanked us for coming over. It is always a blessing to be able to go into
people's homes and bring the spirit. We have also been doing a lot of less
active work lately and are doing our best to keep all of our recent converts
active and converted to the gospel. Luckily we have an amazing ward mission
leader who magnifies his calling. He truly cares about every person we are
working with and he is willing to do whatever it takes to help them. We have
also had great support from the ward and have plenty of members who come out
with us on exchanges.
We also did quite a bit of service this week. We
were able to help Ralph with his yard, I got to mow the lawn! We also helped a
family in our ward move to a new apartment. We also went to a local food pantry
and served at the animal shelter:) My favorite service we did was at a member
of the Spanish wards house. He has a bunch of animals and we got to help him
shovel dirt around a fence to keep out the critters. It was a full week, but I
always enjoying serving.
I want to share
one more cool experience we had this week. We were trying to contact a referral
to give her a bible she requested. As we were driving down the street we found
the address and walked up to the door. A 18 year old girl answered the door and
we asked her if "the referrals name" was there. She didn't know who
that was. I looked at the side of the house and it was the wrong address! Well
we started talking to her about the Book of Mormon and invited her to read. She
also expressed that she believes in science and wasn't sure if their was a God.
I read her a few versus out of the Book of Mormon and testified of the reality
of a loving Heavenly Father. She was a really cool and we are going to be
seeing her this week to teach her more about the Restoration. It was a small
little miracle. I'm glad that we were lead to her house. I love you all and
hope everyone is doing well!
Love,
Elder
