we live 20 minutes from the church its in a nice area.
the area that our church is in isnt that nice.
on Tuesday we met a really cool family they are excited to learn more, we gave them a book of Mormon and they started reading it and want to know more we have a lesson with them this Thursday..
then on Wednesday we had a lesson with a man named Francisco he is doing so great we asked him to read the last 2 paragraphs of the introduction for our next visit and he read all the testimonies and everything up to the first chapter, he asked so many good questions and wants to know more we as have another lesson with him and his wife this week. we also taught him how to pray and it was the cutest thing ever and he said his first prayer with us. also on this day we went tracting to some houses that told us we could come back the night before. so we went back to this one house and a different lady answered and she was so happy to see us we told her all about our church and what we believe and she was telling us that she was so thankful that we stopped by and that she really needed us. we gave her a book of Mormon and she was like i am going to go read it right now, and then we hugged her goodbye and passed her on the English missionaries.
then we had a way good lesson with some people who have recently started coming back to church after we started meeting with them they are doing so good and they are going to try to go back to the temple soon!
on Thursday one of our progressing friends called us and told us he was moving, he is the one we were going to invite to be baptized this week, so that was really disappointing . we are going to send him to the missionaries in Nebraska. after he called we were both way disappointed and thought that the night was going to be the worst. BUT THEN we knocked on the sweetest mans door, he started talking to us and he was telling us how he just got of prison a few weeks ago and he had been in there for 21 year! which is so crazy he was there 2 years before i was born. but he was so nice and we told him that we knew that he could change through Jesus Christ. we talked about the book of Mormon and how so many people changed in it, we gave him a book of Mormon and he is so excited to learn more. He shook our hands so many times and was like thank you so much for coming over you helped me so much. he was the sweetest and he made our whole night better. it was amazing. then we also met 3 more people who were very interested it was so cool.
then on Friday we had a lesson with flor who is getting baptized this Saturday, she is so excited. we taught her about tithing and she said she couldn't accept to pay it, which means she couldn't be baptized, so we prayed all week that someone would bear their testimony on tithing this fast Sunday and like 4 people did. after she came up to us and said that she was willing to pay it!!!
then on this night we got a text about a referral we sent. we found this one girl and we gave her a book of Mormon and bore testimony of how amazing it was and she was way excited and said she would start reading it, we also invited her to attend church. so anyway the English missionaries texted us and said that she wants to be baptized, they still have to teach her all the lessons, but she has starting reading the book of Mormon and she knows it true!
nothing to great happened on Saturday we had a 2 lesson with this family and the husband asked us if we smoked weed. and we were like no, and then he looked at me and told me that i look like i did. i thought that once i came on a mission and had a tag that people would stop thinking that but they still do.
any way this week has been so amazing i love being a missionary so much. everyone has been so nice to us no one has been mean yet. and i love talking to so many new people every day
also this Saturday is flors baptism and also elder Andersen and someone else is coming to talk to us.
love you and miss have an amazing week
