I hope you all had a great week. We did here in Bear Creek. We were able to find a new investigator this week and were able to have 4 lessons with other investigators. All of which we were able to bring members along. It was sweet. Our new investigator we got this week is named Johnny. He’s a guy that Elder Allen and I found in like September. I think I wrote home about him and how we were chopping down his backyard with machetes. haha. Well yeah, we used to do a lot of service for him. Then we started sharing spiritual thoughts with him, and now we are starting the lessons with him. He’s the man. The word of wisdom will definitely be a challenge but we’ll see what happens.
We were able to meet with Sherry a couple times. We taught her the Restoration and the spirit was really strong. Especially during the first vision. She was excited when we told her how there are prophets and apostles on the earth today with the priesthood. She said “wow, I did not know that.” She has been reading in the Book of Mormon and we will be going back to see if she’s gotten an answer.
We were able to meet with Jeffrey again. He told us how he’s been praying and praying for one thing. And that’s to be happy. He has been telling us that he’ll read and pray once all this stuff that’s been going on in his life blows over. We told him that this is the Lord answering his prayers. He’s praying and praying and the Lord’s trying to answer but he’s not listening. He agreed to read the Book of Mormon and pray about it. I know if he does, then he’ll get an answer. It’s all been so crazy with him. From how we met him, the events that have happened, and our timing. There’s no way it’s nothing short of an answer to his prayers.
Well, as you heard, we did speak in church on Sunday and I have no idea why or how it turned out so well. haha. But yeah, I had some gnarly allergies Saturday night that allowed me to only have 2 hours of sleep. So I’ve been a zombie the past couple of days. Anyway, there’s the update. Love you all! Have a great week! :)
