Wow, what a week!
First of all, general conference was absolutely amazing. We are so incredibly blessed to have a prophet to receive direction from our Heavenly Father. I sustain and love President Nelson and I know that he has been called by God. You've probably heard this from every other missionary already, but if you haven't watched conference yet, go watch it now!
God is so good. Loma was super excited to watch conference, but she discovered that she didn't have byutv on her channels. She decided to call the cable company to see how much it would cost her. As she was talking to the person on the phone, her eyes got really wide and I thought to myself, "oh no...its expensive." And then she smiled and said excitedly, "yes! Yes! Let's get it!" Not only was it inexpensive, it actually somehow made her cable bill CHEAPER to have BYU tv! Haha God is so good, people! We definitely learned a lesson: doubt not, but be believing. (Mormon 9:27)
Heavenly Father guided us to two of the most golden investigators this week! The first we found on Friday while on the way to an appointment. There was a group of guys outside talking and we felt like we needed to talk to them. None of them seemed interested at all, but we testified how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the exact church that Christ established and co trained the exact gospel that he taught that would guide us to heaven. Still none of them were interested so we gave them our card, asked for a referral and went to our appointment. About an hour and a half later we got a text from one of them saying that he actually was interested and if we could teach him more!! We have had contact with him daily through Facebook or texting and have a lesson with him Saturday. :) Talk with everyone and testify of Christ!!
Our other new investigators story starts about 6 months ago. Back in October Sister Hardy and I were tracting in a tiny town called Frazeysburg. We walked past a guy talking on the phone but felt like we needed to go back and talk to him. He told us that he didn't live at the house, but was a realtor trying to sell it. Okay, fast forward to Sunday night. We were super pumped because of conference, but that's besides the point haha! We walked past this house again and it was inhabited!! We felt like knocking since we'd not met these people. A woman answered and let us right in. We taught her the entire first discussion and she is so interested! We had a second lesson with her yesterday, and she had started reading the Book of Mormon and was so excited about it. She believes everything we have taught, and told us how much she loves it all because of how happy it is. :) that is exactly what the Savior and His teachings are!! H A P P I N E S S! 😊
Oh, we also were tracting during a tornado warning for a bit last night haha! Good times :)
The gospel is the best and we are so blessed! Love you all!! Have a happy week, and please please watch conference! Also please read the Book of Mormon! You will never regret it. In the words of our new investigator, "why would you not want that happiness in your life?"
Be happy 😊
Love,
