Hey,
So this week was very good! Definitely had some miracles! So on
Monday we were out tracting and we ran into a man named Norris, and he was way
friendly and we had talked to him about the gospel a little bit and if he had a
faith in Jesus Christ and he said yes he did and we asked him if we could come
and share a message with him and he said he would like that. Well.... for
some reason after we had gotten done talking to him I kept thinking about umm
Norris why does that sound so familiar to me and I could not figure it out! Ugh
it was bothering me so bad, so when we got home that night I started going
through the area book and old teaching records and such and guess what! I found
Norris on there, it was so weird I knew I had heard his name
before, well anyways we were able to pick him back up this week which was way
cool and we were able to teach him the Restoration the other day, and
he really seemed to enjoy it. When the lesson was almost finished he had
told us that he had met with missionaries before a few years ago and that
it was cool we are talking to him again. We gave him another Book of
Mormon because he had lost his other one; we also gave him a short
reading assignment to see how well he is at keeping his commitments, which
we will follow up with this week! We also taught Favio twice this
week and both lessons went very well, Brother Tomlinson our awesome assistant
ward mission leader came with us to one of our lessons and did such a good
job at teaching with us! It was nice because Favio had some
weird guy questions (which I will not say what they are haha)
But Brother Tomlinson was able to answer for him and help him
understand why we do certain things in the church. Well here’s the
catcher though, at the end of the lesson Favio had said how he has
been praying and felt like he hasn't really received an answer yet and he
has been trying to do all the things we ask him. Well we told him to keep
doing the things he is doing and that the Lord will answer him. Well like
2 days later Sister Thomas and I had just gotten done with a dinner appt.
and ran home to get our bikes and we were set on going tracting the rest
of the night, but then we got this feeling that we should go and see Favio
and teach him a lesson about keeping the Sabbath day holy. So we
called him up real quick and were able to go and meet him in the
park. The lesson felt so perfect and like this is what he needed, he
also expressed in the lesson some concerns he had that he had never
brought up before about church and we were able to encourage him and help him
with those concerns, after that we of course invited him to come to church and
he said he would be there. Well of course we felt pretty confident that he was
going to be there and then Sunday roles around and no Favio, we were a bit sad
and we called him and asked where he was and apparently he had lost his keys at
work the day before on a construction site and wasn't able to go anywhere. He
told us that he had a locksmith person coming over to make him a new key and
that he was sorry for missing. Well later that day around 6pm we were at
a less actives home teaching a short lesson and we got a call from Favio, he
had a new key and he said he was getting ready to go to the church. (There is
an evening service at 8 for those that work during the day) We were so
excited and so after our lesson we rushed over to the church to meet him.
The meeting went so well and it was so peaceful and the spirit was very strong,
Favio enjoyed himself and told us he was glad he could come. I know that as he
comes to church he will be able to receive the answer he is looking for; it is
so exciting to see when your investigators are serious about the commitments
you extend! Well another awesome thing that happened is that we were able
to go and visit the Gonzales family this week too, they are a family that we
tracted into 2 weeks ago and have been very busy, but we were able to see them
tonight and teach them a short lesson. Sister Gonzales is so cute and young and
they have one son- Lorenzo he is 3 and so so so cute! I wish I had more time to
tell you about our week but I am out of time! Love you all!

Jamison!
