Hey everyone,
This week has been great! We have been working with our ward mission leader on praying specifically. And to "weary the Lord". And to pray every day for at least one meaningful conversation about the gospel. And when you believe it can happen it does. It is a beautiful thing. It happened this week. Every day without fail. When you believe and ask for help from the Lord,He is there for you. This week we have found a lot more people to teach. We were walking into the store to use the restroom and a man stopped us and told us that he needs religion in his life. And he was willing to listen. He is awesome. Then we just had a potential investigator call us back and is meeting with us this week. It's sweet! We also had a couple members bring friends to church on Sunday. It was awesome.
Ok so now kinda a funny story. So last night we went to this open house for a missionary who just got home from his mission. There were a bunch of non members there so it was a great missionary opportunity. The missionary's little brother was kinda joking around with us. He is 10 almost 11. And we were kinda teasing him about all his little girlfriends we see him running around with. I teasingly told him when he turns 12 and becomes a deacon he can get married. And I told him about this scripture 1 Timothy 3:12 "Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well." And he was so confused. And so he took my iPad and show his mom and this returned elder's girlfriend who just barley got home from a mission too. His girlfriend was so unimpressed that I showed him that. She said, "We usually as missionaries try to share scriptures that uplift and bring the spirit." And I was dying laughing. It was so funny. The little guy was so embarrassed. And it was so funny. He is a Champ. He loves joking around with us. And his mom was laughing too. She thought it was pretty funny. I guess some people don't get my excellent sense of humor.
