Well basically in a singles ward that is DEAD work wise and being a zone leader we don’t get very much new stuff going on so our week was pretty much average... We did get to teach 3 people unexpectedly which was awesome! We just went to a member’s house to share a message and whoa... They had a friend their so we shared lessons with them! They were all hesitant to learn more but we at least taught them! Also our investigator W came to church yesterday with her boyfriend who I found out is a returned missionary! Sweet! So she will hopefully get baptized in a couple weeks! We also had a pretty cool thing at church! so we had been trying to get this member to help his friend want to take the lessons and his friend kept saying no so we were pretty much just giving up on him... well yesterday the member came up to us and said he asked his friend again and he finally agreed!! The thing is that his friend has only missed church 1 time since I’ve been here and goes to FHE and Institute he is sooo just ready to get baptized! So wish us luck with him and pray for us!
Also some cool news! Elder N my favorite comp is now training... and he is in our zone!! He lives right across the street from us so I get to see him all the time! It’s super awesome! A couple more just really cool/funny experiences.
1. I went tracting with Elder N and we had TONS of weird things happen. We got a LEGIT door slammed on us and afterwards the old lady yelled swear words at us out the window and complained about how she had to get up when she didn’t want to and how we were bugging people. We just laughed and it made her more mad. Oh well. We got offered some beer. That’s always funny. Some guy said he had one question for us so we said go ahead and he asked "Do you really believe that you will become Gods of your own world based on how you lived here and how many children you have?" We said, "Well that’s some deep doctrine and we don’t believe it matters how many children we have." So he said "Just answer the question.. do you really believe you will be gods of your own world?" and Elder N just was like "yep!" and we tried to tell him where it says it in the Bible such as Psalms 82:6 and Romans 8: 16-17 but he just waved us off and told us if we told people that we might offend them. It was weird. So also Elder N got scared by some dogs and then we saw a chicken just wandering around someone’s front yard! haha It was soooo weird! All this happened in about an hour haha pretty awesome.
2. I went tracting with Elder M and we go to knock on the first door and this kid comes out before we even get to the door and we do our little summary of what we are there for and asked if we could take 15-20 minutes to share a message and he said sure! So we sat down right there and taught an amazing restoration lesson which was cool because we have never really taught before but it flowed way well and hopefully Elder M and A will be able to teach the whole family. But it was just cool because it was the FIRST door we went to. Usually it’s the last but we had a good time and the kid was kind of younger and really relaxed and had a lot of really good input. So there is a chance there!
Well that’s really about all! Things are going really well! Hopefully the work picks up more and more! I love you tons and miss you lots!
