Rainy CA!

Hello All!! Well here goes the past week!!
 
1. We got to have a lesson with a couple in our ward that is preparing to go to the temple! They are hilarious and ask lot of questions so it was great! I think the wife is more worried but I think that tonight helped calm her nerves a little bit.
2. A less active lady that we teach added my companion and I on Face book and she said that we looked at our pictures... its weird to think that she has now seen me in not Sunday clothes hahaha
3. We knocked a LOT this week... that's pretty normal. BUT we knocked into a man that we pretty nice and said he would call... again this is pretty normal. The NOT normal part was that he called!! he called the next day and asked to go on a church tour! We had a tour, had the restoration lesson, extended the baptismal commitment... he ACCEPTED!! And we set up a lesson for a couple days later, he came and he also came to a ward activity! Its great! He planned on coming to church wasn't able to make it but he called and told us and then set up an appointment for this week! It is nice to be teaching someone! He is a little slower at all the information so we are breaking the lessons up but it is GREAT!! I hope that he can keep progressing and be able to make the promise with heavenly Father!
4. We also had a lesson with our ten year old boy... it was a good lesson on Faith but what stuck the most out to me was his prayer. He prayed to understand the Book of Mormon better when he reads it and then he asked for the "Good ghost" meaning the Holy ghost... it was really cool!
5. As we were out knocking we saw a group of kids playing and we asked them if there parents were home which they said no. (oddly that is common... not safe) We gave them a card to give to their parents and then I asked them if they wanted a picture of Christ with Children they are were like YEAH! So we gave them the pass along card of a picture of Christ with Children and the Article of Faith of the back...
6. We had a ward activity that we were able to go to since we had an investigator with us. It was a St. Scotty's Day celebration. It was fun! They had a mash potato and pudding bar. Then caber toss (Hilarious watching all the men try to beat each other) and a jello eating contest... It was fun and I think our investigators liked it too...
7. We got to go to the Elders baptism for Anette. My companion and I did the presentation in between the actual baptism and the welcoming to the ward. Sister Beazer played the piano and I read from Joseph Smith History. It was REALLY cool! Spirit was really strong.
8. The work is going... I'm tired every night so that is a good sign right? :]
 
LOVE YOU ALL!!
