So this week was pretty awesome! We saw a couple miracles! :) We were told that there had been a man coming to church, whose father recently passed away. And before, he didn't want anything in the Gospel. But we had been coming for like 4 weeks and so we found him, taught him, and baptized him this week! He was golden! It is amazing to see how the Lord prepared him to receive the gospel! :) And then another story about diligence! My companion and I were super tired and had a unsuccessful day to find people to teach. Which is normal haha but we were about to return to the house, when I felt like there was still one more person to visit. My companion agreed and we walked all the way over there. We knocked on his door, and nothing... And I was like, WHAT THE BEANS! Why did I feel that impression. So while my companion was passing the numbers to the zone leader I was just standing in the street. When this guy came up to me and was like "Hey! I found missionaries over where I work once. In a totally different colony. And they said the would pass my name on to you guys. But nothing ever happened". And then he was like, "But I really want to come to your church and learn about your church." And I was like..... YA!!! Haha So we have an appointment tomorrow. And it is so cool! To see that when we go the extra mile, and really put in the effort then the blessings come. And ya, that was a cool experience. I am glad to hear that Kendal is doing a little bit better! I hope she continues to recover! I am STILL learning a super ton here! I now know why we are sent on missions. The Lord doesn't really NEED us to do this work. He can do anything if he wants. It is just that WE need to do this work and have these experiences, WE need the mission. There are so many things that I am learning that just can't come from anything else. HAHA Anyways I don't really have anything else to say! I am scared to send pictures because I don't want to lose them like the last two times. :) I will print them first haha. Oh and I got the letter from Aunt Beth and the Fam! :) Thanks guys! I loved the letter :) haha. Until next week! Love ya guys! Elder (always a party) Sladers :D
