"Hello people how are you all doing?"A lot has happened this past week! I am seeing a little bit of light with these people but we will see haha! No this week was good we talked with a lot more people than the last couple of weeks, and we actually taught a lot of lessons this week.
"We found this old lady last week and we started teaching her Tuesday. When we visit her she always says she is doing something so we can not go in but then she just starts talking to us throught the gate for like 10 min. So we were like we are just going to teach her without asking. So we just transformed the conversation into the lesson and pulled out a pamphlet and started teaching her about the gospel of Jesus Christ. It was going awesome she was basically accepting everything we were saying and it was going great. We asked her to be baptized and she accepted for the 21st. So that was awesome! At the end we asked her if she would pray and we taught her how to. She looked a little confused so I said, "Maybe we can show you an example of a prayer and then after you can try." She was like okay! So Elder Laudie started his prayer and she was copying everything he was saying so he just went with it I was trying so hard not to laugh.
"I think it was Saturday night we were trying to contact an old investigator that was from a few years ago. And we were "asking the neighbors" and we talked to this one lady and she was so nice! She lives with her "husband" and 3 kids 11, 13 and 15. And we were talking to her and she said her uncle or someone just died and their family is having a hard time right now. She also said " I am not a part of any religion right now but I am searching for the truth." I was thinking "YES!!!!" Those are the people that we are trying to find. So we started teaching really quick about the Plan of Salvation and told her that we know families can be together forever! And she was really excited about it. We did the verification, by asking her if she actually has interest in our message and she said I will see you Tuesday at 3! Awesome!! We walked away and were like "GRACIAS!" Oh crap we forgot to ask her if she was married. We were so mad, that could ruin everything if she is not married. So this morning we called to "verify our visit tomorrow at 3" but really we were calling to see if she was married. We were so nervous to call and we started talking to her and she said she is married! That is so rare here! We then asked her if she had any questions, and she asked what we believed about Jesus Christ. And we gave a short version of the part of the lesson about the life of Jesus Christ. And we also told her that we believe that there is a living Prophet today. And she was like "living? There is someone to lead the people on the earth to today?" We were like yes there is and we can share this message with you tomorrow and she was like " I have one problem my husband is sick and at home and he will not let you into the house" So we asked her if she wants to do the visit at the church tomorrow and she said yes! So I feel like she is the one we were trying to find! But of course we are going to see!
"This week I saw another dog eat another dog, which was the worst thing I have ever seen. And also today some home walked past us and starting screaming at us saying you "Testigos" (Jehovahs Witness) "I kill Testigos" So that was cool haha!"No this was a good week! Next Monday is the end of my first transfer I think that we will stay together for another transfer and then he will leave the area and I will stay here for another transfer or two. We will see! Thanks for the emails you are all awesome! I know that this is the truth and people need to know that!"
