Greetings from Bawcomville

Good Morning Y'all:)

This week has been a nice week because we had a car, and also a week of a lot of work. Two weeks ago, we lost contact with our most progressing investigator, when her and her boyfriend were going through some issues. They split up which is a big miracle, because now she is living the law of chastity. So all she needs to do is to come to church for 2 weeks and then she will be able to enter into the waters of baptism, which is amazing. I really think that she will make it.

It's kind of funny in this area. In my past 2 areas I have become really close with some members and we had a rough time getting close with investigators, but in this area I barely know the members and I am super close with the investigators. It is a good thing and a bad thing at the same time though, because as missionaries we can't do it all by ourselves and if the ward would help we would be able to get a lot more work done. So that has been pretty tough. But we have just been working our best and doing all that we can and I have really seen that the Lord has been blessing us. For example one of our investigators needed a ride to church, but we couldn't find anyone to come pick up her and her kids. So the Lord was kind enough to bless her with a car. It's just times like that where you are just so thankful that you aren't out here by yourself but that Jesus Christ is here helping you in His work.

Yesterday we were supposed to go out and find people because most people would be home since it was Memorial Day, and it would be a great missionary opportunity to talk with everyone. So we did that and we went tracting at about 7 at night right before we were to have dinner at 8. We were driving in an area and I felt like I had the spirit tell me that we should go to this house. So we went down the street and parked our car and walked back a few houses to go knock on her door. We knocked and the lady wasn't very friendly and I started to get frustrated as we went on down the road. I was just thinking why did I feel like we should start here. And before that I had told myself that we will knock to our car and then get in and go. So we knocked for about a half hour and no one was letting us in or wanting to talk with us. So we got to the last door and the family was outside and was just barely finishing their ciggs. We began to talk with them and they let us teach them. The really cool thing was when I was talking about the Book of Mormon, I was telling them that it was a book from the ancient America's and that it was written by the native Americans. And the guy told us that he was native and he got really interested in reading it. This experience really shows that after all we can do, the Lord will honestly help you with the rest. I miss Y'all so much and hope that you are having a great summer and enjoying the snow in the middle of May haha.
