Hello everyone! We had a super awesome week! Heavenly Father blesses us so much. We've been trying so hard to be exactly obedient and are really seeing the blessings. We found a super prepared guy from 2-2-5ing; he had a lot of questions that no one has ever been able to answer. The Plan of Salvation answered all of them! That was especially cool because it was on the 4th of July and it was super hot and humid and we didn't think anyone would be home, but we went anyway because we knew we should!
We went to visit one of our investigators and her son-in-law was there. We taught him on the spot and he agreed to read the Book of Mormon. He was very excited to hear that there are prophets on the earth today!
We found two other investigators this week through a member referral, and she brought them to church! This was especially cool because we'd actually visited these particular investigators a few weeks ago and hadn't thought it had gone very well. We are really excited to teach them again on Tuesday!
M. is officially progressing! He is a very nice older gentleman. He really wants to know the truth and is now dedicated enough to read and pray. We had a chapel tour with him on Saturday with our ward mission leader and his wife, and it went really well. He came to church yesterday -- YES! We followed up with him and he said he enjoyed it and wants to have the same conviction that we all have, but he hasn't gotten an answer yet. We're going to teach him more about the Spirit for our next lesson, and figure out how the Spirit has worked with him in the past. He is reading and praying, though, which is really exciting.
Sister T. is doing really well. I am so proud of her. She's gaining confidence and together we are earning the trust of the ward. Yesterday the gospel principles teacher was sick and so Sister T. and I taught an impromptu lesson with two investigators. She did so well! I have a lot to learn from her!
Sister T. told me last night that I have quiet dignity. I tried not to laugh out loud! What do you think of that, family and friends? I told her you would all find that extremely hilarious! She may change her views when she meets other sister missionaries, but we shall see. I have definitely toned it down since coming out here (not too much, though -- don't worry)!
Sister T. loves huevos rancheros! I finally found a brand of canned beans out here to substitute for the ranch-style beans that they have back home. (For some reason I expected them to have Western Family brands out here. Why would they have Western Family in the east? I suppose that's one official blond moment that's happened lately.)
Well family, I've got to run! I hope you're staying safe -- I love you!
