Another
fun thing that happened this week was we were able to go Ghost Busting
again. A member asked us to do it this time but it was basically the
same thing. There was some "supernatural" occurrences that were keeping
her great grandchild awake so she asked us and the Branch mission leader
to come help out with that. I could feel the spirit so strongly after I
gave the prayer so I'm sure there won't be any problems there for a
while :)
Finally something that's going to
happen this week. There is a Filipino member who's serving in the
Vancouver mission right now who's going to be coming home this week. So
that's exciting :) Basically Elder Peterson and I are going to be
tripanning with him for a while :) Hopefully. For those of you who know
the Watts that's the same mission that Josh went to. Small world ;)
That's it for this week but I hope y'all have a great week till next time. Potatoes gonna Potate
*from my email*
Things are going interesting with our investigators.. The
investigators that Elder Stevens and I were teaching are having trouble
progressing so we spent a butt ton of time this last week finding. It's
been quite a growing experience for me but I'm really starting to enjoy
being able to go up to some random person on the street and start up a
conversation. So for the numbers technically we found 6 new
investigators but since a few of them lunched us and such we only
reported 5. Out of them there's one that really stands out to me,
partially because of you and you'll understand when I explain. So while
we were walking down the street talking to this Native girl about Adam
and Eve and such there was this East Indian (from India so we don't
confuse them with the Natives ;) ) guy called Elder Peterson over and
asked him if he knew how old Noah was when he built the ark. He didn't
know so A (the guy) told him he was 600 years old. He also talked
about a few other things but we didn't think much of it. Elder Peterson
actually started telling people some of the fun facts that A told
him :D So, fast forward a few days and A had told Elder Peterson we
could meet up with him some time so we call him up and set up an
appointment. When we get there we have an interesting discussion and
A knew the bible back to front and front to back it was wild :) But,
he also told us to like "practice" our street contacting approach with
him so he knew what we would say and such. During this time he was
stressing going back to the roots of everything and looking at our own
religion. He gave an example of the Free masons and how some of the
roots is sketchy. During this we didn't really feel like he was being
argumentative and we could still feel the spirit so we found that
interesting so fast forward we brought out the Book of Mormon and showed
him the prophecies about Joseph Smith in it. After he took a few looks
at it his whole psyche changed it was as though he suddenly wanted the
Book of Mormon. By the end of the lesson he was very excited about
meeting with us again and I have high hopes for him :) I'll be talking
about him more for sure. Also, when we invited him to pray at the end he
almost gave a blessing in the sense that we give blessings. He was
quoting a bunch of stuff from the Bible and he was also "binding
hindering spirits from us" and blessing us that we would share the
gospel with as many people in this town as would receive us. It was
amazing. He also blessed us with the "Spirit of Jeremiah" I'm not sure
what that means so I'll be doing more research on Jeremiah and what that
could mean. Could you also do some research and report back what you
found?
