I have noticed a pattern in each week. There are highs and lows, we have dropped appointments and disappointments every week, but there are always miracles and tender mercies. These change week to week, and it is amazing to see God's hand in the work.
On Tuesday we had planned to go and help some people paint, we got there and they wouldn't let us help.. they were nice about it, but we were kinda bummed. We talked to their neighbor though afterwards and introduced him to the Book of Mormon. He said he would read it and that we could come back and teach him next week, we also met someone out chopping a tree stump. He goes to Joshua Springs, which most people who go there, say "We're Christian, and we aren't interested..we go to Joshua Springs" or something to that effect, anyways we asked him if he had ever heard of the Restoration of the Gospel, he hadn't but we explained that the same gospel that Christ taught and established while he was on the earth has been restored to the earth today. We could see that that sparked his interest and we set an appointment for this Wednesday.
We met with several less actives this week, which was good. On Thursday we met with Nora, who is one of the coolest recent converts ever, she is awesome, everytime we teach her, my testimony is strengthened, She is getting married in April and she wants us to be there, I wish we could but first its at the LA temple and second we weren't the ones who taught her.. Ah I love her!
We gave the Elders some of our investigators like Vic and George, they were able to meet with George, as well as a less active recent convert. It is going to be so awesome to have 2 sets of missionaries here in our ward, the work is going to EXPLODE!
We had our ward Christmas party and Bro. Constantino had invited some non members and less-actives, so that was awesome to see them there.
Thank you all for your encouraging and inspiring emails each week! I love you all!
