7/17

This week went well! It was a pretty hectic first week of the transfer, but we had a lot of good stuff happen too. There was a really cool little miracle on the first day after we transfered. We dropped all of the stuff off in our apartment and drove a missionary companionship on bike to their area, and when we got back all we had time to do was eat dinner and go out to talk to people. We decided to just walk down the street from our apartment and talk to people in the neighborhood down there. We had some really good conversations on the way down, including a woman who we talked to while she was sitting outside who wanted to have a tour of the chapel. After we finished talking to her we asked if she knew anyone who we could talk to. She told us that she hears the people upstairs yell a lot, so we should go talk to them. I've gotten similar referrals to that before, and usually the person is not very excited to talk to us. But, we went up and gave it a try, and he was super interested in our message! He invited us in right away and told us he's been having a lot of questions about God lately and he'd love to hear what we had to say. He asked us a lot of really good questions, and we were able to answer a lot of them and most importantly, teach him about the Book of Mormon. He was so excited to start reading it and by the next day when we followed up he had already read the first 60 pages or so! He's such a sincere guy, and he really is going to grow a lot by having the gospel in his life. 

We had another awesome miracle at the end of the week while we were knocking doors in a really big apartment complex by the college. We knocked into a man named Ferris and he told us he was busy but asked if we could come back the next day. We came back and he told us he had just started learning about God and was excited to keep learning more. The member we brought to the lesson invited him to a ward activity the next day and church the day after, so after meeting him on Thursday, we taught him Friday saw him at the activity on Saturday, and sat by him at church on Sunday. It was really awesome, he's super prepared to hear our message. 

That's pretty much our week! I love you all!
