Very successful week with investigators. We had 26 lessons which is my record. Its not all about the numbers because they are souls, but it was pretty cool to teach that many people. We tracked into this lady last week named Patricia who is a 40 year old catholic mom who is very devout and wasn't that interested. I was very persistent in explaining that the bible is a record of people in Jerusalem and the Book of Mormon is an ancient account of the peoples dealings with God in America. I had her read the tiny gold letters under the BOM title which says, "another testament of Jesus Christ" She was very shocked and said that she would read. To our surprise we set a return appointment with her. Although we set the appointment we didn't really know how interested she was but we gave her 3rd Nephi chpt. 11 to read. This week comes around and we showed up to her house for the appointment and she opens the door and says come on in. We were really shocked to find out that she had read chpt 10,11,12 and the restoration pamphlet and plan of salvation pamphlet and did even more research on it. She is thirsty for more knowledge and has a great gospel understanding. I love it when we have investigators that keep commitments. She is awesome!
We are also sharing light the world with people we meet and that is awesome also! We are finding tons of success with sharing the cards with people. I love sharing the video at dinner messages! Speaking of dinners we hardly get any but a lot coming up this week. Last night's devotional was really good. I felt a lot of peace and comfort from every ones messages. I thought about you guys while watching the devotional but I was comforted by the spirit.
Hey I got a huge package of food. Thanks I needed that haha. Oh and I did get the package of music thank
you! I didn't open it, the zone leaders still have it but I'm excited for
it! The best way to send me a package is to the mission office so I
know I will get it on p-day because this week I have been checking for
my package since Thursday and it just came last night so I was
pretty nervous that I gave you the wrong address oh well its here.
A tree a member gave us!!
The boots! Just get me a cheap pair that will keep my feet from getting
soaked. I dont need it anytime soon. Only flurries for the next two
weeks. They say the heavy snow doesn't come till Jan. Feb. and March.
For Christmas I'm thinking Skype because Facetime can drop really quick. 19 more
days I'm excited!!
I love you mom so much!! Have a good Christmas season and
look to spread the gospel the best way you can do that is just acting as Christ would everyday. I promise when we do that our lights will shine
so bright they will reach the darkest places! love you mom!
