This Sunday we had a new investigator at church! Her name is Lexi Cichey! She is awesome and was introduced to the gospel by her neighbor who is a solid member!
We taught her and extended a invitation to be baptized and she's accepted! Pretty cool! We will continue to work with her and get her ready!
For our other investigators.. Tyson and Shacari's mom decided not to come to church this week for the 2nd week in a row.. And that was really frustrating! We are going to have a lesson with them sometime this week.. That will probably be a little more serious! So that will be good. Jennifer was in Arkansas this last weekend! She actually just called us told us that she made it back safely and that she wants us to come bowling with her and her family this Wednesday! So that will be really fun! Im looking forward to that!
We have so many people that we are teaching that are so close to truly understanding the gospel! I'm excited to see what the Lord has in store for these people! This week could be a very successful one!
If there is one thing that i have learned this week is.. It would be that to get people interested in the Gospel.. You have to find common ground! And the bible is NOT common ground!! Ha ha every time someone try's to talk with us about the bible.. It does no good! So many mis-understood scriptures.. So me and my companion decided to only talk about the Book of Mormon. No matter what the circumstance! And it turned out to be really cool! People get a taste of what the Book of Mormon is really like and how it clears things up! We've given out quite a few copies this last week and i think some good will come from that!
Anyways.. I've gotta go! Im glad to hear your doing well! Thanks for the updates!
