Hey everybody!
Not much happened this
week. It was kinda slow so I don't really have that much to talk about.
However, we were able to find a new investigator and she seems pretty
interested. Like we were out tracting and she was outside her house so of
course we are going to go talk to her. We taught her about the restoration,
nothing too different, just a usual restoration lesson and we left her a Book
of Mormon to read and set up an appointment for the following Friday. (This
happened on Tuesday). So Friday comes along and we head over to her house. Now,
I've seen this 1000 times before where we have a really good first contact and
we set up the return appointment then when we stop by we can never find the
person ever again. But that didn't happen this time! Not only was she there,
but she actually read in the Book of Mormon and remembered we were coming!
Those are two huge things! So I'm pretty excited about this investigator,
pretty sure she's going to get baptized
So what else? oh
yeah we did this pretty gnarly service on Saturday. So we had a couple of Wards
get together to try and clean up the area surrounding the church building.
There is a little water ravine that has been completely overgrown due to neglect
and being in Virginia where EVERYTHING grows anywhere. So we got together to do
that and clean out all the underbrush and whatever dead trees there were. It
was actually fun work because we had chainsaws and Machetes and it is so fun to
watch a tree fall down and everyone shouts "timber!" We even had a
wood chipper there and that thing was running nonstop to try and shred all the
wood we were cutting down. I didn't take any pictures of it BUT we are going
back Saturday to finish up so I can take some then and show you. It's a huge
difference. Like we clear it out and I had no idea there was a huge field on
the other side of the tress!
Last but not least,
our investigator had her baptismal interview this past Sunday, and she passed!
So we are getting ready for another baptism coming up on the 25th. Her whole
family is coming to see because a lot of her aunts and uncle are already
Mormon, so they are super excited for her. But man, she is awesome!. Her and
her family, they were honestly a miracle because Elder Ramos was teaching them
before I came here, he told me that they just showed up one day in church
because they felt like it was the right church to go to. Like, seriously?? It
doesn't get better than that!
Well, that's it for
this week guys! Love you and have a great week!
