Minni miracles

Hey, sorry I didn't get to call sooner. We've been running all over the place today, it's been pretty hectic. On the forth week of the transfer (which is next week) we are usually a lot less busy. So maybe I'll try to make that the time I call. The only problem is all y'all have work and school. So if you think we can make that work that would be cool. If not though email is still cool. I went to the dentist this week. They were going to check our insurance and get back to me. I followed up twice and they're as hard to set up appointments with as the people we're trying to teach. I'll keep working on it though. 

This week went really well, we met quite a few cool people and found two new people. We had a couple cool mini miracles throughout the week. One cool one happened yesterday near the end of the night. We went to an apartment complex with a couple former/member dots who Elder Boss didn't know and started visiting them. We knocked on one of the member doors and met a really awesome family who had not been to church for a good while. One of the daughters in the family had her boyfriend there who isn't a member and we got to know them a bit, shared a scripture from the Book of Mormon, and set up an appointment for next weekend to teach them all. They said missionaries hadn't come to see them since they moved here and were surprised we even got in the gate, but it was wide open when we got there so it was pretty cool.

Sorry again I didn't get to talk more. Let me know if there's a time during the day I could call next week, I'll try to make it work. I love you! Thanks for all that you do!

-We taught someone named Cecilia the restoration. She seemed pretty interested at first, but then when we explained the idea of there being one true church she acted a lot less interested. So we gave her a Book of Mormon download card and invited her to read so that she could find out the truth of our message for herself. Fast forward to friday, and we get a call from the YSA missionaries asking us if we remembered giving someone named Cecilia a Book of Mormon card because she had gone to mormon.org and requested a copy of the Book of Mormon! We're planting seeds every day, and it's really cool when the Lord allows us to see some of the good that we're doing for people.


-One of the recent converts we've been working with, Paul, got his temple reccomend!


-Another of our recent converts, Rod, got sustained to recieve the Aaronic prieshood yesterday!


-We read a chapter in the Book of Mormon with one of the people we're teaching named Victor, and he was super into it. He was asking us questions about Jesus atoning for our sins and just eating it up. Super cool lesson. 


-We went to visit someone with Brother Wardle from our ward, but they weren't there. He said he still had time if we had anyone else to go see, so we visited a few more people. The first one we went to wasn't there either, so we tried to go see Manny, a person we taught the first lesson to a few weeks back. Manny's girlfriend Cynthia answered the door and said he was sleeping because he was sick. We talked to her for a little bit, then asked if we could share our message with her instead. It was a super cool lesson. She's been on a search that is pretty similar to Joseph Smith's story, so she loved the message we shared. She wanted to read the Book of Mormon and learn more about Joseph Smith, so we gave her a Book of Mormon and a link to Joseph Smith history. She's even more interested than her boyfriend who we were there to see, and he's pretty cool too, so we're really excited for them.

And that's been our week! Transfers are kind of a mess since we're on bike. right now all my stuff is packed up and we are waiting on some other elders who are coming to pick us up to go meet my new companion at the mission office. Hopefully they get here soon. I love you! Have a great week this week!
