Coming Home!

Hey friends and family! Just thought I'd let you all know since I don't ever say much about going home in these emails, but I am in fact going to go home next Tuesday, the 27th of August, and I will be speaking in my home ward at 150 S 100 E, Richmond, UT on September 8th. Our church starts at noon, I'd love to see you all there!

Whew, now that we have that out of the way, let's get to how the week went! It was pretty solid Monday thru Friday, we had a good amount of time to go out and talk to people, and we got to have a lot of good conversations come from it. We found someone from India who let us teach him the restoration, we talked to two different people who had just moved here from Spanish countries, and we were able to talk with them and invite them to hear our message from missionaries who actually know how to speak Spanish. Then, on Friday we went to a gigantic apartment complex in the middle of Downtown Fullerton. We got there right as someone was walking in, so we went through the open door and went all the way up to the top floor and started knocking. We got about halfway done with the doors on that floor when the manager came up to us with a big, scary looking security guard and told us we couldn't go door to door in there. We said okay and started talking to them on the way out, and they were actually really nice people! We probably had a better conversation with them than anyone we talked to when we were knocking doors in the complex. 😆

Well, looks like I'm out of time. I love you all!

Wow, sounds like lots of adventures for you guys. You cannot do bowties on the mission. The goal is to not wear anything that distracts from the message. One way I heard someone say it is if they look at your tie before they look at your nametag, you should probably wear a different tie. That was a good call to have Brother T drop off the stuff at Grandma and Grandpa's, I'm guessing they were a lot less out of the way. He said he enjoyed talking to them. He was telling me that throughout the whole thing Grandpa was offering him BYU merchandise and Grandma was telling Grandpa that he doesn't want all of that, so he definitely went to the right house. ;) 

This week was really good for us. We got to teach two more people from the football team this week. We went over to visit Najee, the one from last week, and he told us he had to run a few errands. So we started talking to his roommates, Khadafhi and Tony, and we ended up sitting down and teaching them the restoration! When we finished up we walked back outside and as we were about to leave the complex Najee was walking back in and asked if we still had time to do a lesson. So we turned around and went right back into the apartment and read a chapter from the Book of Mormon. It was really cool. They're all super sincere and it's just awesome to help them to learn about the Gospel. :) 

I think that was pretty much our week. Love you lots!
