Hey Everyone!
This week was super awesome. We had so many amazing miracles.
This
week we found a huge complex of apartment buildings that is perfect for
knocking doors, but
unfortunately all the buildings are locked and you have to have a code
to get in. We really felt like we needed to do some porting there
though, so we have been going there every night in hopes of getting in
and every night there is a different door left open. We always go in and
start knocking doors and sure enough we always find someone new to
teach. Last Friday we got in one of the building and went to the top
floor. We had about 40 minutes left of the night before we had to go
home. We said a prayer asking Heavenly Father to help us find a family
and then we started. The first door nobody answered, the second door a
lady answered and let us in. We taught her and her family and shared
with them the Family: A Proclamation to the World. The family had
recently
been having family problems and the mother had been praying for help. I
have no doubt that we were guided to them as a response to this lady's
humble prayers. After our lesson with them we only had about 10 minutes
before we had to go home. We decided to just finish the apartments on
that floor. We knocked the next door and a lady let us in and we taught
her and her family too. It was such an amazing experience. We knocked a
total of 3 doors and found two wonderful families to teach. I think on
average in our mission we get let in about twice a transfer. This week
people have let us in 5 times. I feel like I little like I am in South
America.
The other cool miracle we had is that we finally got one of our investigators to come to church. We have been working with him for about 6 weeks and it has been really slow progress. He is from Algeria and is from a Muslim background. He has really enjoyed the missionary lessons and since we started teaching him he has made prayer and reading the scriptures a daily habit. He just didn't want to come to church. We went and had a really good rendez-vous on Friday and instead of inviting him to come to church we told him we would pass that morning to get him ha ha. He finally agreed to meet us at the bus stop by his house. We went there and sure enough he was there all dressed up in a suit and tie for church. It was great. He seemed to really enjoy church and he even participated a lot in asking questions and making comments.
Well that is pretty much it for this week. Oh except for
the fact that I just got transferred. I am going to Cherbourg a city in
the North West of France. Should be fun.
