It's
been really hot here. Our apartment A/C doesn't really combat three digit
degree weather so we try to avoid going home for lunch. But we were able to get
another A/C unit from a member and it's been a lot better. I’ll have to send
you a few pictures of all the ridiculous things we missionaries do to stay
cool. Ha ha!
Well
one funny story: We just got out of an appointment and we got
into our car and this old guy knocks on our window holding a pizza box. He said,
"Now I'm not interested in your religion because I'm Lutheran but I really
respect what you guys do so please take a pizza and let's have old George
Romney in for president.” So this random guy gave us a pizza just because he is
a huge Romney supporter. Maybe someone needs to let him know that it's Mitt
Romney. J Oh well, as
much as we try and disconnect missionary work and Romney's campaign, people
still won't leave us alone about it. Ha ha!
We
had another cool experience this week. We were looking for more people to teach
and we looked through some former investigators we had. Three years ago some
sister missionaries taught a lady named Esther but stopped meeting her because
she "showed no interest." But we knocked on her door, she was glad to
welcome us in, asked for a Book of Mormon and we met with her. As it turns out
she remembered just about everything the sister's had told her and actually
read the book quite a lot. She began reading again and is currently halfway
through 1 Nephi. She loves the doctrine of the Plan of Salvation and even said
the prayer! It was really a neat experience and it was great to finally start
seeing some successful people.
Number
two neat experience: We had been meeting
with a lady with some drug problems and she has been meeting with missionaries
for some time. This week she came to church for the first time. She even went up
to the pulpit and pointed at me and said "if it wasn't for this elder
right here, I would not be here today, he stuck with me through all of my drugs
and problems and I just want you to know that I know your church is the true
church." Wow... that was cool. Next time we see her we plan on talking
about baptism!
Well
that's my report this week, And have an
awesome 4 of July!
