Well, the Wind is keeping us sane out here in Coredlia! And we love
wind! :)This week slowed down a little bit. We still taught more lessons than
last week but most of them were online!
Monday we only taught one lesson, to our investigator named Rico. We
gave him a restoration DVD and told us that when he was little he
watched it and he didn't ever really remember what it was called, so
when we handed him this DVD he said that he would watch it right away.
After the lesson he texted us and said he loved it.
Tuesday we taught a lot of lessons. The coolest one was Tania. She was
a referral from another investigator and she is sweet. She has 3
children and is going through a lot. She should be evicted because
she can't afford rent but for some reason they are letting her still
live in her apt still. We did a house blessing with her and it was
way sweet. After I was done saying the house blessing I looked up and
she was in tears. We talked about the Holy Ghost and she could
definitely feel it! We also invited her to be baptized. She is a
non-practicing Jehovah's Witness but is open to learning more!
Wednesday we taught a few homeless people. My favorite was Arthur. He
is a sweet man, maybe early thirties. He is going through a hard time
being homeless and all, and letting go of his past. He told us he
wants to go to church but he doesn't want people to judge him if he
doesn't dress like everyone else. He has a nice heart. We are getting
him connected with the ward employment specialist so help Arthur get a
job and get his life turned back around. He has a bright future ahead
of him, but he just needs to get things squared away first. Wednesday
was also the day we were having a contest as a zone for who could get
the most contacts. Obviously, my companionship won. We ended with 110
contacts, and 6 lessons. Score!!
Thursday we taught some awesome lessons. Started off with our weekly
service project for sis Kirkland and Book of Mormon lesson. Then
headed off to the hassells for a lesson with her grand daughter Mika,
who is loving with them for the summer. Mika was baptized at age 8 but
that's it. No follow up gospel discussions or anything and her parents
are not active anymore. We are teaching her all the lessons during
lunch time each week and they also feed us. :) good combo. She is
grasping the lessons really well and we also gave her a young women's
necklace, the torch one, and challenged her to start personal
progress. Then we went and taught Steve Arendez. He was an
investigator in the area before we got here so he got passed off over
to us. He has been taught about 4 or 5 times and he is progressing
smoothly.

Friday was weekly planning.. Anyone who's been on a mission knows how
exciting that is.... haha.
Saturday we did service basically all day. Sunday was relaxed. This was a
calm week. This upcoming week we have back to back lessons schedule
almost everyday.
Here are some of our investigators to pray for:
-Steve
-Karen
-Tania
-Tyesha
-Rico
-Mark
And pray for the Elect to be found all over the world :) Love you all!
