Grand Island #6

Hey everyone! This week was pretty interesting. A couple of highlights: 

We had a guy show up to English class who is already fluent in English! He was the only one who showed up so we asked what he could use help with and he said that he's pretty much got it. We ended up just talking to him and he loves God and loves learning so we gave him a Book of Mormon and have started teaching him the gospel! The next time we met him he went on about this thing called iridology which is where he looks into your eyes and can tell you what health problems you have. So he ran out of the church to grab his flashlight and magnifying glass and read our eyes. He said that I should stop smoking and drinking haha. But he did guess one thing right so that was cool! 

We have started to have more success in bringing the gospel into our English classes and even gave out 4 Book of Mormons from that! We invited someone to church and they couldn't make it this week but we think they'll come next week. God truly provides a way for his work to go forward even through different ways like english class!

We also cleaned a lady's really really disgusting apartment. There was so much garbage and cockroaches everywhere. After I'd been cleaning the bathroom for about 45 minutes, she walked by and said "that bathroom is horribly infested." I wanted to puke haha. But sure enough, I looked in the shower and there were dead bugs everywhere. 

And that is where your spiritual thought comes from! It didn't take me very long until I was sick of cleaning this nasty apartment. I found myself frustrated and impatient. Right at that moment the memory of Alma and Amulek came into my mind. They were beaten and thrown into prison, and they were forced to watch the believers thrown into a fire. And after that they still had patience and faith. While we were cleaning, I watched a member be so loving and kind to this lady even with all of the bugs and everything. So I invite you all to be a little more patient and loving in all that you do, and I'll be working on that this week as well. 

Have a great week everyone!

Sorry only the one photo from this week, but this is what happens when you combine 5 missionaries and a bunch of milk crates
