Hey friends and family!
It was a good week this week. Surprisingly we picked up 4
new investigators this week! One of them is named David. He is a freshman in
high school. And he is super cool. We contacted him and his cousin while they were
walking to subway. They didn't seem to be interested at first but we still got
their address and stuff from them. We went over and saw David and we told them
about the restoration. And he seemed to really like it. We went over to see
yesterday but he wasn't home but his mom showed up and said he really enjoyed
meeting with us :) so we will be dropping by later this week :)
We also picked up a few others that we are trying to meet
with again. Their appointments are coming up this week so hopefully all will be
well. I'm really excited elder Harris and I have been working our tail off to
get new investigators. It's cool to look back and see how much the lord had
blessed us in our area. He really had led us to those who have needed us. Every
day we see these tiny miracles that just increase my faith and want me to work
even harder than I did the day before. Good stuff :)
Anywho, it has been toasty here in Vacaville. It got up to
116 the other day. It was nuts. (don't worry mom I'm drinking lots of water ;))
I try and keep a positive outlook on it and whenever I hear a missionary
complain about it I just look at them and say "mission memories guys!
Let's goooooooo" I mean when else are you going to be knocking door and
trying to talk to people in a white shirt and tie in 116-degree weather.
Definitely not when your home. Guys I really like the mission. To be honest I
didn't at first but I really love it. :)
We still haven't gotten in contact with our balcony
investigator Jennifer. We are going to call her today. We had a lesson with the
2 families we are working with this week though! We had a lesson with the Busbys
about how important the book of Mormon is. And how you CANNOT, come to a
knowledge of the truthfulness of the church without reading and praying and
then consequently receiving a witness from the holy ghost testifying that it is
true. It was a really good lesson and I think we struck a few chords with Laina
(the mom).
We also taught the grindle family again and had a really
awesome lesson with them about the holy ghost and feeling it. We brought a
member with us and it was so cool, she started testifying and the spirit was
super strong, when all of a sudden little Emily decided she was done and
started causing a racket. Now she is 2 so that's understandable, but I had to
do something about it so I jumped on the floor and started coloring with her
while the member testified. Well she got through with that too she wanted me to
follow her to get some toys, don't worry I still was teaching while distracting.
I really wanted Lainey, Mike and Joseph to feel the spirit so to let them do
that I played with Emily while my amazing companion taught the rest of the
lesson. I poked my head in the conversation every once and a while to testify.
They seemed to really get a lot out of the lesson. Which was good. But little
Emily wore me out haha. She is so energetic. But we were hoping to see them at
church. Sadly, they did not come. Hopefully they will come soon. I'm praying my
guts out for them:)
Alright now to explain the subject line. We went and did a
service for a member in the sister’s ward. We went over and they had us demo an
awning that had a fiberglass roof. Man, that was nuts. I got fiber glass all
over me. Don't worry all is well. I had proper eye and breathing protection.
But while tearing it apart i cut my arm haha. Nothing bad just a little scrape.
But I found out when you destroy fiberglass it flies into the air and makes it
look like you murdered a pixie village with how much the air was sparkling haha.
Fun stuff fun stuff.
Well that's all for me my emails are getting lamer and lamer
haha sorry guys. I just don't know what to talk about Any more. We just do a
lot of finding and teaching. I will be on the lookout for some cool stories to
tell next week I promise. I thought I had some this week but I forgot them all.
Haha I will make a list. Maybe...... If I remember 🤣
Love you guys! Have a wonderful week! The book is true.
Joseph Smith was a prophet, and God really does love us.
