Hey fam,
This week was bien!!! First of all, yesterday we picked up
our mini missionary, Justin, who will be with us until Saturday. I love mini
missionaries because the work is always better when they are with us! This
week was wild though! It was temple week so we didn't have our preparation day
until the day we went to the temple, which in our case was Saturday, so we had
almost 2 weeks with no preparation day! In other words we couldn't shop or
clean our place for 2 weeks..
The work has been going a lot better thankfully, we knocked
a ton of doors and talked to a ton of people and in return the Lord blessed us
with new people to teach! We finally were able to get in with this guy named
Troy who we had talked to several times but never had the chance to teach him,
and he was super stoked about the Book of Mormon! He and his girlfriend just
had a baby a little less than a month ago and the gospel is gonna be clutch for
them in raising her. Also we contacted his next door neighbor, Mike, and he has
talked to missionaries before so he invited us over and we picked him up as an
investigator too! He is pumped about the gospel too and is excited to start
reading the Book of Mormon. Brian is doing well, we feel that he is getting
close to breaking through towards baptism. While we went to the temple as a
ward he hung out at the temple visitors center and he said he loved it! Also
Carlos has read all the way to 2 Nephi 1, a lot of good stuff is happening out
here!
Just to make things spicy this week, our water heater
decided to malfunction and flood our basement twice this week which
was pretty annoying not gonna lie! The first time we assumed it was from all
the crazy rain storms that happened last week that flooded everyone else so we
called our land lords and mopped everything up so there wasn't any damage,
luckily the basement is unfinished! But they told us to check on it the next
day to make sure it wasn't something else. Sure enough, we went down the next
day and it was flooded again! Dang! Turns out that the water heater was super
old and was leaking water everywhere.
To make things even spicier, we got to do some undercover
police work this week😎 We were walking
around talking to people and a cop that was chillin in his car yelled for us to
come talk to him (uh oh) and I thought he was going to try to get mad at us for
proselyting because he was a servant of the devil but it turns out that he just
needed help from some fresh Mormon brothas. Apparently the cops were onto some
guy that was armed and dangerous and he needed us to walk up through the
neighborhood where they thought he was and get the license plate number on his
white Mitsubishi, but he made it clear to us not to talk to him because he is
dangerous. Dog, we've got the Lord on our side! But we still obeyed him and
went up there but he wasn't there so we failed our objective:/
Anyways, I hope y'all have a good week!!
