There was alot of good that came out of those days however because when we were down we were more reminded of who success really comes from. We didn't get investigators and speak powerfully to people because of our strengths it was because of Heavenly Father and us having the Spirit constantly with us. And so we were humbled and as we began praying in earnest this week we saw some small but huge miracles.
On Friday we were headed to the Senators because it was rebeccahs birthday. We wanted to meet with Chris there but we couldn't get a hold of him. We stopped at a gas station to buy her a candy bar and as i looked out the window i saw a car pull up and Chris got out! we went over and said hi and talked for a bit and it turned out that he was stopping by the senators to so we were able to meet with him and the lesson went so well. We taught the gospel of Jesus Christ and as we talked about baptism and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost we paused and really talked about the importance of baptism. lina is 18 and has received the lesson for a couple years but hasnt been baptized. But we delved into it and then committed them to follow the example of Jesus Christ and be baptized by someone holding the priesthood of God and they were quiet for a couple seconds and that was great cause usually she just says no and Chris freaked out last time. But they thought and she said she would think about it and Chris just copied her answer so i said to them that they owed it to themselves to know whether or not this was right for them and if they should be baptized and we asked them to read the Book of Mormon and pray every day for a confirmation of whether or not it was what they needed to do and they agreed to do it. it was a great lesson and when we ended the Spirit was very strong. We left at about 6pm and as we were driving home we thought about Ron and Britteney and2 days ago they had called us and she had a really bad stomach virus and was sick so we didnt go see them and as we were driving by we were trying to decide if we should go visit or not and figured she was probably still sick. But we felt we should at least try so we drove over and as we were driving up the hill we saw 2 people walking pushing a stroller and we were like is that them and it was! so we rolled down the window and asked if they were able to meet with us and they said yep. So we went down to thier house and we felt impressed to share the restoration video so after we chated for a bit we put it in and watched it. The Spirit was just so strong there and as we watched Ron who is usually not very open started to tear up and it was just great. they would have come to church but they are going out of town but they are gonna come next week.
on saturday we went to the edge of our area and we were looking for someone and as we were asking directions over and over and over we would start talking to the people we were asking and we got like 4 phone numbers and return appointments set up to teach it was awesome and we finnaly found the family and they said that they would love to talk to us and they are so excited to learn she was baptized into the church as a little kid but never really went and he hasnt been baptized and they have a little boy. They are an awesome family and i cant wait to teach them.
we started our ice pillar thing but the neighbor who doesnt even share the same porch as us complained so we had to take it down after 1 day.
love you all, being out on a mission is awesome and i love it so much hope you have a good week.
