this week has been pretty good!
On Tuesday we met this man while we were tracting.
He was older probably in his 50s, he was walking with a walker, and an oxygen tank, he didn't live in the nicest of apartment complex, and he lived alone, we asked him how his day was and he said it was wonderful, he said that his life was perfect and that he has nothing to complain about. and for me that was so cool to see because so many people in his situation would complain, and be unhappy, he couldn't walk that good or breath on his own.
but he chooses to be happy!
We had the sweetest conversation with him.
he told us that he feels so blessed every day and that he sees the hand of god all the time in his life.
it was such a powerful lesson, because we can choose to be sad and unhappy, and not feel grateful for the small blessing and miracles we receive, or we can make the choice to be happy and to be thankful for all that we have all the small blessing we receive.
then on Saturday we went a visited this less active family and he told us how he joined the Church and how he knows that it is true. and he was telling us how he knew and wanted to come back to Church.
then on Sunday that same man came to church, it was really exciting to see him.
our branch is growing and a lot of less active families are coming back. their is this couple we visited when i first got here and they hadn't been to church in almost a year and they have stared coming back, they recently opened a business, which they have to be there on Sunday or the get fined, but they came to church this week even though they would be fined for not being there.
It was so cool to see that they recognize the blessing of coming to church and how much more happiness they now have in there lives and that they are now willing to make sacrifices to go to church.
then yesterday we got bible slammed hard, we talked to this man for over an hour about what he believed and about how he thought the book of Mormon was wrong. but it was really interesting to see what he believed he also taught us a lot about history so it was pretty cool actually because we did learn a lot about the history of the bible.
that is pretty much all that happened this week. i hope that you all have a good week . I love you
