Well Howdy Family!
This week has been an amazing week for finding new investigators
and it has been great for me personally, was reading over my patriarchal
blessing and i just hit me this week that i really need to work on
being exactly obedient i have been this whole week and it shows that we
have had better week of visiting and contacting new people to hear about
the message we share one experience i would like to share. We were
walking through my favorite part of town which is the getto part and we
were tracting out a neighborhood with a member, the member said to knock
on this certain door so we did, a younger lady answered the door and
said how are you and we said we are missionaries and we share a message
about Jesus Christ and how it blesses our lives she immediately opened the
door and invited us in i had a distinct impression to share about the
plan of salvation so i did five minutes into the lesson she starts
bawling starting flowing out of her eyes said that i really had a
screwed up life im a recovering addict and that i feel like there is no
purpose in my life i want to find out where i belong. Then she started
talking about how she had a abusive husband she got divorced to about a
year ago and that she lost her brother to a drug overdose. She Started
crying even more when i asked how would you feel if you could see your
brother again and live with all of your family forever? She said it
would be perfect and i would do anything to have that opportunity. She
then told us the rest of her story and i love her to death and she said
well where is your church i want to go very bad i want to change my
life, We told her where it was and she was like well my car was stolen
last week im new to the neighborhood and is it possible to get a ride i
said we can get a member to come pick you up and we will be waiting at
the church and help you and your kids in church. She was so excited to
hear that she wanted to give us hugs and i said we cant but i can give
you a hand shake haha sucks sometimes but its all good. We are actually
going to see her today and i am very excited to be able to teach her
the restoration!
Yea i'm jealous that mom and dad are in Alaska i always wanted to go but know when i leave they decide to up and
go and i think its a good thing for them to get away they deserved a
little time to themselves! Well all i can say is that i better be getting
some shrimp mailed over or just drove here! Well i love my new
companion we are doing work as a companionship that we are teaching a lot
more and he thinks it would be funny if i stayed here for a year i don't
think that's very funny i would gain wayyyyy toooooo muchhhh weight haha
well were the lord needs me i will be and there is always time to lose
weight!
Tell me more about Alaska i better be getting a bunch
of pictures, well i love you have fun up there dont die i still want to
see you in 17 months!
