Weekly!

Hello everyone! This week went by quick again! We had 3 exchanges and all of them were really good. We had miracles in each of them and I will share one below. Nothing super duper crazy happened. One thing that was really cool was that a member has been bringing his friend to church and now he wants to start taking the missionary lessons! So hopefully that actually goes through and we can start to teach him. Everybody else in our area is doing ok. It's kind of slow. We find tons of people but not too many elect YSA people. The work still moves on and I'm the happiest I've ever been! The church is true. How is everything for you guys? Anything cool going on back home?

For the spiritual experience this week it was during my exchange with Elder Hadley. We had a really cool contact with someone. We were making contacts to less actives. We eventually got to one house and knocked on the door and a young man answered. We talked for a little bit and soon came to the knowledge that the man we were looking for did not live there. We noticed that his mom or grandma was there so we asked if she would like to come down and talk as well. She came and she was wearing a shirt with a scripture on it from the Bible. That led quite easily into a gospel conversation. They said that they were Baptist and so at first we thought they were going to give us trouble, but eventually the conversation led to talking about the Book of Mormon. Once that conversation started she invited us in to talk. We taught them what the Book of Mormon is using the pictures in the front. They asked many questions including a question about Joseph Smith. We then taught them about Joseph, and about the first vision. The spirit was strong in the room, and we eventually gave them a restoration pamphlet and they were excited to read it! We set up a return appointment on Tuesday. Elder Hadley and I walked out of that house with the biggest smiles on our face. That's the joy of missionary work!
