It's been a great week! it went by so fast! So my companion got a package from her uncle and it had sardines in it. So I tried them with crackers for the first time ever... not bad! They were interesting. Next week... chocolate covered crickets! We shall see how this goes! Normally I would say I can't wait but this time I think I can actually.
We've been going through some old referrals and we contacted one of them her name is Donna. Normally she works at that time but she decided to take the day off. Which just happened to be the same day we came, blessings! She had never met with missionaries before. So we started teaching her and she is so open to the message. We're going to meet with her again this next week!
We also have been able to meet a few less active members and get to know them more. There are some pretty great people here who have been through so much. One lives in our same apt complex so that makes visiting her easier. Especially when we're low on miles and have to walk. We wanted to walk to the church for book of Mormon class Wednesday, we felt like we should just drive and it's a good thing we did! After class we came out and it was poring rain! We ran to the car and got completely soaked! Can you imagine what would've happened if we walked there?! I'm so glad we didn't walk.
Sunday was just fantastic, I love Sundays! Yesterday we had 3 investigators at church! Our normal Sunday routine, we get up and ready call our investigators to make sure they're up and getting ready and they're ride is set still. We remind them to come to church with a question in mind. Sometimes we have meetings with ward council. We get to church early to meet and get to know the members better. Cedric came he's been telling us he would come since I've been here and he did! Alexandra came she's been pretty regularly for the past few weeks. She is on date for the 27th of June with her sister Susan. They want to make sure they're ready for baptism, which is such a great thing! After church we had a few great member present lessons. They make such a big difference in the way the lessons go. Before my mission I never realized how much a difference members can make in conversion. I know now that it makes all the difference in helping them understand and feel loved. I love being able to see people progress in the gospel. To see them make those changes in their lives to come closer to Christ and strengthen their faith. Missionary work is the best! Make it a great week! Thanks for all your love and support!
