Hey y'all,
Jasper is still so great! We have the greatest people in our
ward and it is awesome! We literally dropped everyone this week but 2
people, we are now growing our teaching pool and it is going great! We got 5 new
investigators and so things are looking up! We had a meet the Mormons movie
night, and tons of people from the ward showed up as well as a few non-members!
It was a huge hit and it was loads of fun! There was this lady I taught a week
before, well, her sons showed up, one was 9 and the other one was 11. After the
movie was done the 11 year old walked up to us and asked how he could become a
Mormon?! I got all excited and we told them, and then we realized that they
were in the elders area....:/ It still is so cool and
that will be awesome if their mom gives them permission to be taught.
So because we dropped everyone/they dropped us, we were trying
to think of any way we could grow our teaching pool. I remembered then about
something that my cousin did, called prayth (pray in faith). We got out our map
and our pins and we prayed to Heavenly Father to guide us to a street that he
would have us go. We both put our pins in the board, and set off! When we got
to the street that I had chosen we walked down it and the 2 house we knocked
on, a lady opened the door and invited us in (no one ever does that), we told
her that we were the missionaries, and she told us that she knew that, and
that's why she invited us in! So it turns out that she was the mom of a member
in our ward and she had taken the discussions before. We asked if we could
share a message with her, and she agreed. We started to teach her the
restoration, and she got hung up on the priesthood, we taught her and the
spirit was so strong! I don't think that she wants to be taught right now, but
I think that the lesson may have softened her heart to hearing the truth. So
long story short, prayth works!! Whoo!
I am getting so pumped for Christmas it's crazy! I feel like the
closer we get the more willing they are to listen!!!!
I love you all!!!!!!!!
