Hello Family!
I keep having to go back and look at what week it is. Time is going
by so fast. We had an awesome week this week. We only had a few
investigators that we were teaching so we didn't have too many
appointments so we did a lot of tracting. I have actually come to
enjoy just getting out there and talking to as many people as we can
even if they don't want to hear us out or tell us to go away. You
meet so many crazy people and some amazing people I love it. We had
an awesome day on Saturday. We had a lesson in the morning with Abby
at the Adam's home, then we went out and did some tracting in the
afternoon. We had selected a street earlier in the day that we were
going to go and knock doors like we always do but as soon as we got
there we had an awesome experience. It was a very sunny day, it got
up to almost 70 degrees so there were a lot of people out just soaking
up the sun. There was this lady and her son who were just standing by
a truck talking and their dog was running around. We went over there
and started talking with them about the Gospel and they were
interested because they know several members of the Church here in
town. The son is about 17 and he plays baseball and basketball at
the high school and he is best friends with one of the members of one
of the other wards who has talked to him about missions and BYU. They
are a very Christian family and they were asking us what we believe
and we explained and they said we believe those same things so what's
the difference? So we explained about the Priesthood and how we have
a Prophet and the Book of Mormon. They expressed that it all made
sense and both of them excepted a copy of the Book of Mormon and
invited us to come back and share more with them. It was amazing. I
also had the weirdest feeling like I knew them from somewhere. It was
very easy to talk to them and we have a ton in common. Who knows
maybe I knew them in the life before this one. We also had a good
lesson with Marcus and Shannon. I might have mentioned Marcus last
week but he was someone that we tracted into and had a lesson set up
with this week. We went over and taught both him and his wife and
they have two little children. He had a ton of questions and we were
there for a long time answering questions. We gave him a Book of
Mormon and he said that he is going to read it and pray about it. We
have another lesson with them tomorrow. He also is good friends with
one of the ward members that we had dinner with this past week. We
have zone conference tomorrow down in Medford again so another long
day tomorrow! Hope you all have a good week! Love you all,
Love,
