Week Ninety-Seven:  The Blessing of Missionary Work [June 3, 2019]

Hi Everyone!

This week there were quite a few of our lessons that fell through, so in some ways it was a slow week. However, it was not without blessings! The biggest one came on Friday. We were trying by someone I had found in the beginning of my time here just like any other time. Last week we had gone by and the husband had told us to try by sometime this week in the evenings if we wanted to catch both him and his wife. Sure enough, they were home and they invited us in! We talked with them for a bit and got to know them. Apparently they've talked about looking into our church and they like the whole family aspect of our church. She also has a lot of members in her family. We shared the message of the restoration with them and they were open to us coming back and sharing more with them. They have a Book of Mormon and they said that they would read it and pray about it! By the way their names are Chis and Jessica.

The day before this we had an exchange with the zone leaders. I was with Elder Goodman which was fun since we served around each other a lot at the beginning of our missions (we came out the same time). I also found a street called Jason Place which is the second street I've found that shares my name on my mission. We actually ended up finding someone who was interested on that street!

The only other notable thing that happened this week was we did a lot of service. We helped someone move into their new place, tried to remove part of a palm tree stump and today we moved a chair. 

That's all I can think to mention this week. Hope you all have a good one!
