What a week! We had our zone training
meeting this week and we had a movie training where we got to see Meet the
Mormons!!! It was really neat and so fun to see the movie that everyone
has been talking about! Some of our recent converts went to see it to and
even brought their daughter who is not a member!
On Tuesday, we met with Anna. As we were
talking with her she said that right after the missionaries (us) had
stopped to talk to her, she went out to eat with a friend who lives out of
state. That friend then told her that she had just gotten baptized, along
with the rest of her family, into a really great church. Anna asked what
church and she said the mormon church! Anna told her that she had just
been talking to the missionaries. Her friend then told her that she
should really listen to what they have to say. So Anna told us that, that
is what she is going to do!
We also met with Donna this week and taught her
the restoration. It went really well. It was surprising to me that
even though Donna has been to church a lot with her neighbors, that she didn't
know that we have a modern prophet. We might start meeting with Donna at
a different members house next week. I hope the change goes
alright.
We also got an exciting phone call this
week! Nicole, from the hospital where we volunteer, called us and said
that she got a new job and has Sunday off and wanted to come to church!
So on Sunday Nicole and her friend, Branden, both came to church!
They were mainly just coming to see what it was like but the branch
reached out to them more than any other investigators we have brought before,
haha! I hope it wasn't too overwhelming for them. We stood in the
hallway in front of the chapel before it started and explained our meetings to
her. It was kind of funny because everyone that walked by would shake
Nicole and Branden's hands almost without even thinking about it. Nicole
and Branden were surprised by how friendly everyone was and by all of the
people they didn't even know just shaking their hands. It was fun.
They aren't interested in meeting with us right now but it was definitely a
seed planted! The church is cheerfully true! Love ya!
