We had a pretty rough week. However, we did have some pretty cool miracles. One is that there is a member here in the ward that is working really hard to go to the temple so he and his family can get sealed. He's working hard with the bishop so that he can get to that point. Anyway, he does lawn maintenance and we just kept running into him all week! It was awesome. We knocked on the door of one of his customers and he is now a potential investigator. So that's cool.
Another miracle happened on Friday night. We had everything fall through and we were going back to our apartment, it was super cold and just really bleh. Anyway, a man stopped us and starting asking us some questions that he had. He thought we were Jehovah's Witnesses so when he heard that we weren't he was curious about who we were. We talked about the Restoration and he accepted a Book of Mormon. It was just cool because it always seems like the really awesome things happen during the crappiest of times. haha.
This week we were biking to a dinner appointment. As we pulled up onto the driveway I noticed that the car had a Nevada license plate. When we got in the brother was wearing a shirt that said Las Vegas on it. I started talking to him about Vegas and where I live and where he used to live. Then the wife came in and after over hearing that I lived in the Orchards she asked what my last name was (my tag was under my coat) I told her Steed. Her reply was "Laurie?" hahaha I was really surprised. Turns out that she was a roomate with Liz Chidester for some time and had gone to a couple of camps when mom was stake yw president. She used to live in Stallion Mountain ward. Anyway, her name is Sister Perez and her and her husband have 5 adorable adopted kids. Such a cool family. She sent a photo of me to Sister Chidester over facebook so maybe you guys have seen it already. Anyway, it was a good time talking about Vegas and people that we both knew. Well thats it for this week. Love you all! Have a great week!
love,
Elder Steed
Add-on email: We also got a new ward mission leader! Brother Cline! The family that sent the photos!
(Here is the photo taken by Sister Perez mentioned above as well as Liz's commentary. :))
Look who ate dinner with my friend and family tonight! It's Elder Nathan Steed, she was so excited and so am I! I always love hearing about my seminary kids that are now serving missions.
