Good Week!

 

Good week, The weeks keep getting busier and busier, which is a good think! I wouldn't ask for it any other way. We were able to teach some good lessons with our investigators and found some new people who were interested in learning about more. I got to go to a trailer park that i taught people in about 9 months ago. We met a man named Alejandro- and I felt like I new him! He understood the apostosy and said he needed a Bible, we gave in a Book of Mormon instead and said we owuld get the Bible for him later. Lucky him! and Us! He is just so great, and the other sisters have an apointment with him this week. Also re-met another woman, she let us bless her home and said we could come back! She felt the spirit so we hope to keep teaching her.

We were able to teach Alex and Odalys this week, it went really well, the youngest everytime we come over says "Hola Elder Coleman!!" Sister Butt and I die everytime, we keep trying to correct her, but I guess it is cuter that way.

So Paco was baptized! He was nervous all week, but us, the other sisters, and the elders were each able to teach him and help him get ready. The baptism went really well and there were a lot of investigators there.

Ok best part of the week!!!!

So we have been struggling with referrals for a couple weeks now, it is acutally really weird, usually you have 1 or 2 a week but we have had 1 or 2 in like 3 weeks. So we prayed Saturday night for more help to be more aware, and to get a referral! So while we were waiting for Paco to change after his baptism, we were walking down the hall towards the relief society room. This hispanic woman walks around the corner and I ask her if she is a family member of someone because we didn't recognize her. and tells us that she is new here, and that she looked the church up online and came! We just kinda stared at her in shock i think for about 10 seconds, didn't even introduce ourselves, and just asked her if we could take her on a church tour while we waited for he baptism to recommence. WHAT!! We were so excited, apparently she had gone to church twice in Florida with a cousin who is a member and she loved how much she learned, so she wanted to come back! WHAT! So she sat next to the relief society president during church, we talked about hte articles of faith in gospel principles and she loved that and she loved relief society, we set up an appointment with her for Tuesday, and asked if she had a Book of Mormon. She said, oh yeah i was going to ask you if i could have one. WHAT! So yep great Sunday, Heavenly Father totally answered our prayers and gave us a "referral" from Him haha. We are so excited to get to know her better.

Things are going well, looking forward to some meetings and other great things these coming weeks before transfers. Hope you all make it a great week!
