Happy Father's Day Dad!
There was so much that happened this week so this week is a blur.
We helped out at the food bank this week and we unloaded a huge truck.
There was so much food that it took about 2 and a half hours to
unload. It was massive.
We made some good progress with Robert this week. He's understanding
pretty well and is really excited for his baptism. We took him to a
baptism this week and it was a great experience.
A lot of this week was a trial of faith. Everything we had planned
cancelled and we were left to do things on our own. On Friday we stopped by
the church to make a quick plan before we headed out again. We found that
there was a sports night going on. There were a lot of nonmembers that
were playing. So we balled them up in our proselyting clothes. One of
the priests that was there told us that his friend kept coming to his mind. He felt like he should share the gospel with him. He invited his friend over to hang out and told us that his friend that day felt like he needed to change his
life. So he should be coming to church next week and that's when we
can meet him.
Sunday was pretty cool all-around. We got to see Brandon bless the
sacrament. He was so excited to do that. He said it was a really
special day for him. And, we had a couple people come to church that we
weren't expecting. There is a member family that has an intern living
with them for a couple months. She came to church a couple weeks ago
and we didn't think much of it. But this time she came to church and
we both felt like we needed to talk to her. After church they headed out
really quick so we weren’t able to talk after church. But as we were out
Working, we felt like we needed to go by to see her. We started just following up
with her experience and she said she has loved it so far! And then all
of a sudden we felt like we needed to start teaching her the first
lesson. So we did - and it went really well and she was excited to read
from the Book of Mormon. What a miracle this! Right at the last hour
of the week, we were able to find a new investigator that we were
looking for all week. We are pretty pumped.
That is really all that is worth including in the email.
