Hello hello! It's been another week and here we are again on Monday!
The new transfer is starting off well. It has been spring break here so people have been out of town, but it's just helped us to be creative with what we do!
We have knocked the doors of a lot of people this week. Just yesterday we had a lot of cool experiences with that!
We knocked on the door of someone named Innocent. We had stopped by a lot before but he had never been home. But this time he was! He immediately invited us in and stopped what he was doing to talk to us. He was so humble and he even asked when and where church was before we invited him! We taught him the restoration of the gospel and the spirit in the room was so powerful it was crazy. He definitely noticed it as well.
We also were invited into this house where these two people were drunk and high out of their minds. We were in there for less than 10 minutes and the smell on our clothes was so bad that we could still smell it the next morning. It was an adventure and there is probably 0 chance that they will remember meeting us at all.
Then we have also been teaching this lady named vida. We found her on campus a few weeks ago and she has been reading the Book of Mormon and believes that it could be true! Our only holdup with her is that she works every Sunday, but we are trying to help her with that!
Something we shared with someone this week is the power of Christ's atonement. We used the example of Alma in the scriptures. He went from being a terrible sinner to being a prophet of God. When he realized his sins and mistakes he says that he was racked with inexpressible torment or something along those lines. But the moment that he called on Jesus Christ, his soul was filled with Joy as exceeding as was his pain. Because of Jesus Christ, God can change whatever we are going through and show us his plan for us. So trust Him!
Anyways everyone have a great week!
