Week 60

  This week was an interesting week, but it ended up being a great week overall!  We are still working with the H. family and were able to see them a few times this week.  They have been so busy with work we haven't been able to set up a solid appointment to teach them a lesson.  They are doing good though and just some things have happened recently that have made their life kind of crazy.  But we are really praying that this week we will get to see them more consistently and help them progress and be able to enjoy of the many blessing included in the gospel.

 One day we were walking down a street and we felt that we should go knock on a certain door after a few people hadn't answered.  A lady answered and asked who we were, and then told us to come right on in.  She had never talked to missionaries before,but she just decided to let us in.  We were able to get to know her, and then just go right into teaching the restoration to her and a relative.  We could tell that they were really interested, and understanding about the apostasy and the proper authority.  They were telling us how they wanted to know the whole truth and not just part of it.  Towards the end of the lesson Lisa even told us that she had been praying for someone to come help her find the truth, because she has kind of gone astray recently. That was an awesome experience, and we were able to set solid baptismal dates with both Lisa y Nicole!  We have an appointment coming up with them this week so that should be great!

 Also we were able to see the family of C. several times this week.  A few of the times he wasn't there so we were able to teach more of the family!  It went really well, and it was nice to focus more on them because sometimes when we teach C. the lesson gets centered all around him. and it is hard to include everyone. We were teaching some of the daughters and B.. told us that her husband wanted to come to church at our church this week!  Her husband is the one who we have probably seen the least amount out of anybody there.  That was an awesome surprise for us!  So on Sunday B.. E., G. y C. all were able to come to church!!  It was super cool to see them come again, and the other two for the first time.  There were some great classes in the church that definitely helped them.  And the members did a great job fellowshipping them, and making them feel welcome.  We are hoping to start teaching more of the family, and we believe through that we will help them all come together in striving towards being an eternal family!  They are awesome, and they are just way nice to us.  Overall great week, and we were able to do plenty of service as always!

Have a wonderful week, and enjoy the amazing fall weather there in Utah!  Love you lots!
