Monday: Started off the week great! We played Laser tag in the gym, tipped over some tables to make barricades, and had a blast! That night we had a great visit with the Adam's family and did some Facebook work!
Tuesday: Had a lot of finding time today, which was nice! We were out and about talked to a lot of people, knocked on a lot of doors, everyone was nice just not interested... Then that night we had a mini miracle! We were planning on going to stop by a member we haven't seen much at church, but there's a gate into the complex we didn't know the code to, but as we pulled up a car was going out, we went in and had a great 30 minute talk with them, and her husband isn't a member but loves the church so hopefully we can teach him!!
Wednesday: Had a great lesson with our friend Judy, taught about faith, repentance baptism, gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end! She took it well, but still doesn't see that there is one true church... we'll get her though! Had service at the James Storehouse which is always nice, then I was able to give a baptismal interview. The zone leaders have someone who is ready to be baptized on Feb 12 and the interview went great! The joy I felt after that interview knowing that he was ready to be baptized was incredible!!
Thursday: Zone Conference was amazing! I got to see a lot of friendly faces and had lots of fun catching up with them! We talked a lot about working with members and how to get them involved, as well as the importance the Book of Mormon and how it can answer any question! So if you made it this far in this email, I encourage you to take a question you have, flip open the Book of Mormon starting anywhere and look for the answer, let me know if you don't find one!!! Later that day we had a nice discussion with Dan, who was basically trying to "save" us the entire time, we left him with a Book of Mormon, and went on our way.
Friday: Had lunch with a super sweet lady named Trish who is Catholic. We were able to talk about our beliefs, craziness in the world, how Christ brings us peace, and then she asked if we could do se service for her! Met with the Armstromg family. They have been around the church for a while, just have some resolvable concerns at the moment. But we shared a scripture with them and hopefully can start teaching them and solve the concerns!
Saturday: Went on an exchange with the zone leaders. I went with Elder Hadfield in his area. We had some cool experiences while talking to people in the park, we were able to get their numbers and leave them with a pamphlet. Talked to a man from Russia with a super thick accent, and he wants a Russian Book of Mormon!! Had a great member dinner with the Miscena's in Elder Hadfields area. Her husband is a non member, but super nice. We had a discussion about the Book of Mormon, and how it answers our questions!
Sunday: Great day, had nice testimonies, and loved talking about overcoming temptation in Sunday school. Had a great visit with our ward mission leader Brother Pace and his family! Also we're able to meet with the Joiner's who haven't been active for a long time, but they're super nice and will hopefully feel comfortable enough to come back!!!
Love you all, enjoy the week, read the Book of Mormon, I know it can bring you peace and answer questions that you have!!!
