This week was huge! we have been tracting a TON lately and have found a few people to teach! we weren't able to have a lesson with a gentleman Frank and his family because of the games this weekend but he invited us back later this week so we are super happy and excited for that! We talked with him about families and the importance thereof and he wants to hear about the gospel! PUMPED!!!
Then we have a follow up lesson with a lady who would potentially want to investigate the church and she had read the whole restoration pamphlet and had a few questions and comments. she learned that we believe in more then just the first 5 books of the bible! great step! asked about polygamy and dealt with that well as we addressed that concern. asked about all of the "rules" and again felt good and at peace with our answers. We gave her a Book of Mormon and she genuinely seemed excited and looking forward to read it! We are going back with a member this week!! we are really excited!
Following that we had a lesson with our investigators the Cornett family! THEY ARE AWESOME!! we had a member come with us there and basically took over the lesson and did amazingly well with it! We couldn't explain things in a way that the family would understand it and the member took a few seconds and they got it crystal clear! MEMBERS ARE AMAZING!! This member is the family who referred this investigator family to us. He found them, taught them before we got there and is still teaching them. this is EXACTLY what the Lord has asked us as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to do! We can see it and you can see why when you do it! So Enjoy it :)
We were able to find about 4 potentials from these past 2 weeks of tracting and each of them are families!! How blessed are we?!? We are super stoked for that and want to find ways to find more. WE PLACED A BOOK OF MORMON YESTERDAY!!! This lady said she was "roman catholic" therefore "they were good." we testified of they power of the BOM and testified that all that God asks all of us to do is read it and pray to know that it is true. I then testified that I know it is true because accepted the same challenge that we were extending to her. She accepted it, plus a restoration pamphlet and a return appointment this Thursday!!! SO PUMPED!
Tracting is not very effective, but it is sometimes the only way to find. If this work is going to hasten, it needs the WHOLE church, the WHOLE stake, the WHOLE ward and the WHOLE family. I know this is true. Please share what you know with those around you. Everyone needs all of this gospel. It doesn't have to be a long testimony, simply stating that you are a member could be all they need to hear to ask a question that they are dealing with. It is happening all the time and I see it here in Medina. Lift where you stand :)
I love this work I love you all! God is Good!!
fight the fight, stay the course, keep the faith.
Con amor (don't remember that much spanish)
