Week Seventy-Two:  Aye Chihuahua! [December 10, 2018]

Hi Everyone!

There have been some small successes here and there. We tried by Juliana right as she was leaving somewhere, but we found out that she was planning on attending a baptism in the other ward! We went too and she really liked it! Hopefully it will help her desire to be baptized. 

We also were able to finally meet someone named Sean. Turns out we had an incomplete phone number for him so we were able to get that sorted out. He has a pretty strong faith in Jesus Christ and he really enjoyed the scripture Helaman 5:12 when we read it to him.

(Helaman 5:12:  And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.) 

There were also some people who said we could come back (3 of them on one court!)

One evening as we were getting ready to tract out a neighborhood (in the rain no less) there was this little Chihuahua in a Christmas sweater that started following us around barking at us. We figured that if we walked far enough away that it would stop, but it was too persistent. When we tried to read it's collar it would run away from us. Eventually it left us alone. Both of us thought it was funny that it was trying to look so tough in it's little sweater.

That's all for this week!

Until next time,
