So this week has been good. We have a super solid investigator
named Celso. We stopped by him a couple times last week, and we said if he doesn’t
answer this time we are dropping him. Then he answered the door, but where we
usually met was flooded with water and it was super cold so he was like we can’t
meet. But then he asked us if we could just sit in our car and talk about the
stuff the other Elders had left him. He had read the entire Plan of Salvation
pamphlet! He knows he needs to come to church and be baptized, but his work
doesn’t let him have Sundays off, nor does he have a set schedule, so we couldn’t
set a meeting for him. But then he called us the next day to come over and
teach him. During the lesson his phone kept making some funny noises, but it
wasn’t really a distraction so I wasn’t worried. But at the end of the lesson
he told us that he had his wife in Honduras on the phone the whole time listening
in! Then we taught him again the next day and he said he was coming to church
if he could get a ride; but he didn’t have any church clothes and needed a ride
to the store to go buy some. We couldn’t find him a ride, but there were some
slacks in the back of our car that someone had left that fit him, and I gave
him a white shirt. He came to church and during Sunday school he answered
almost all of the questions perfectly, and a girl looked over at me and said
"WOW" he is so awesome!
We also tracted into this couple, (English speaking) and we were
able to teach them a little bit. They were so ready to listen to us. Their
names are Demitris and Linda. Linda is actually Hispanic, but he is super
black. They were super excited to have us over. They said that it was a sign
from God that we knocked on their door. I love this area already!
Other than that we just stopped by a lot of formers this
week.
Yesterday we had a conference called, "Why I Believe,"
and it was super cool to hear new converts bear their testimonies.

I
asked him about his new companion and his new area – this is all I got. Another companion from Utah – but not Utah County
this time. Not very reassuring on his
area being safe; but he is in the Lord’s hands, and I’m confident that he is
safe J

Wolverton is from St George. Indy is a lot bigger than Salt Lake. Ummm
safe.........sure :) I haven’t seen anything sketchy in any of my areas, but
they are supposedly dangerous haha. The apartment isn’t bad; I liked the one in
Seymour better though.

I think we would be more successful if we all had baby bunnies in our pockets :) |
