So much to tell about this week! Well the first part of
the week went so great! We met this older lady who needed help cleaning
out her shed. She was a really tough negotiator and wanted to pay us
for it. We told her no she couldn't pay us but she finally settled on
just cooking us lunch. (We can't turn that down) After we helped her
and ate lunch we were able to teach her and her daughter the
restoration. It was so awesome! They are really excited to read the
Book of Mormon. That was a testimony builder for me on something I
heard one of my Zone Leaders say a while back, Service Softens Stony
Souls. Service can turn a no into a yes! It can help someone who
wasn't interested in hearing our message before become more open.
Well
some other crazy things happened this week too. On Thursday I fell
right on the floor in our hallway and ended up getting a big cut on my
head. (leave it up to me to do something like that right?) Anyways that
completely threw off our day. I realized that I would probably need
stitches. Spending 4 hours in the ER waiting to get stitched up wasn't
really what we had planned that day. I'm doing good though! I was out
working like normal again after lunch!
Well we also found a
solid new investigator! His name is Chris and he had been taught by
missionaries not too long ago. He had a baptismal date and everything
but ended up backing out. Well when we taught him this week he told us
he wanted to finish the lessons. We invited him to get baptized on
December 6th and he said he would. Man I am so pumped for him! He is a
really cool kid.
Also Elder Flores is doing amazing! He
speaks Spanish and the other night he taught a lesson all in Spanish and
did so great! I didn't really understand what was going on but I could
tell he had the spirit and that is all you need!
Well thank you all for everything! Love yall!
Elder Whetten
