August 5, 2013 Lake Reams, Sis. Thomas


Hey Fammy,
So this week has been good! on Tuesday I got my new companion and her name is Sister Thomas from Lindon, UT. She just barely turned 19 in June and she is way cool.  We have been doing good together.
So the week we went and saw a woman named Loretta, she is a bit older and Sister Low and I found her about a month or so ago. But anyways we taught her a really solid Restoration lesson, and she seemed to enjoy it. She loves us and she is always asking when we can come by and see her so that is good! She says that she isn't looking to convert to any religion, but she has agreed to have the lesson and to meet with us which is awesome! And she started reading the Book of Mormon and she texted us late last night to tell us that she was enjoying what she was reading. That was so cool, she has a lot going on in her life and I know (of course) that the gospel is only going to bless her and help bring the peace that she needs. 
Amir is out of town right now (the 17 year old) but he is coming back this week so we really hope to get over there and start teaching him the lessons! We keep in touch with him and he still seems very very interested and has just been so busy, so we cant wait for him to get back!
But we did experience a total miracle this week! So we were out tracting on Wednesday night and we had knocked on a few houses and decided to go over to a different area to tract and before we went over we decided that we needed to say a prayer and so we did and then started tracting again and as we were knockin no one was answering, until we knocked on the 3rd house and a man answered  name Favio, and we introduced ourselves and he had very poor English, ( he is from Brazil ) but  we were able to understand him somewhat and we started talking to him and he was asking us what we were and what religion we came from and we told him and started to talk about God and how he has a plan for him and he was like really? and we basically gave him a shortened quickie version of the restoration and we invited him to church and he told us that he liked talking to us and that he would try and come to church and so we were like great we will save you a spot! Haha and the Favio was like ok but don't be disappointed if im not there but I will try and in my head I was thinking yup everyone says they will try and then they don't come haha but ok we will see! So then on Sunday we were sitting in church and right as it was starting we got a text and it say I am just leaving I will be there in 5 minutes and it was from favio! And I was like whattttttttt! ( our phone doesn't get service in the church) So I texted him back and said please Heavenly Father let this send and get to him and of course it did! WHOO!! So Favio came to church and he stayed all 3 hours and people were so nice to him and welcoming and by the end Favio said he felt really good and comfortable and that it was nice, and then we asked if we could come by this week and teach him some more about the gospel and he said yes! I am way excited and I hope that things good well! Well I wish I had more time but I don't! Love you all, keep praying that we find those who are ready to receive the gospel! And pray for your own missionary experiences! Love ya!
