This week was SO good! Especially Sunday. There are 2 experiences that I want to share with you from this week. here we go.....
So first of all, have I ever mentioned G, an investigator that we are teaching, and his wife Z? Well they are super fun and we love them SO much! We helped them paint their living room a few weeks back. Anyway. They have super crazy work schedules and Z usually sleeps during the day. We were biking by their house the other day and we just thought we would knock....even though we thought she would be sleeping and give her an invitation to the ward christmas party. So we knocked and she answered the door and we could definately tell that we had just woken her up from a deeeep sleep. We felt so bad so we gave her the invitation, said sorry and were on our way. Well 20 minutes later she texted us. She said that she forgot to set her alarm and her phone was in the living room and she didn't hear G trying to call her. G had said a prayer that some how Z would wake up in time to go pick their girls up from school. She ended up being right on time. Well it was a small thing, but it was super neat to see how the spirit prompted us to knock on their door at the right time. Heavenly Father really is in the details of our lives.
The other neat story starts 2 weeks ago. One of the bishopric members in our english ward asked us to go by the A's house because he had been thinking about them a lot lately. We went by and they had actually moved. We told the people that answered the door, AJ and April, that we were looking for the other family and she told us that they had moved a while back. Well we said that we were missionaries and we teach people about Christ and we would love to come by and share a message with them and their family. They said we could come by again. So fast forward a few days. We had thanksgiving dinner with the H family in our ward and I kept feeling like we needed to go visit them and follow up with some people that they had told us about. So we go to their house lask night and start talking about a former investigator of ours that is friends with Sister H and then we talked about a friend that she is going to give a book of mormon to at work and then there son asks if we have gone back to visit the spanish family that lives across the street. It took me about 10 seconds of thinking to realize that HE was AJ that was at the other house. After I pieced that together he said that April is his girlfriend and he has been trying to figure out a way to share the gosple with her. He didn't say anything at the door just because he wanted to see how things played out and he didn't want her to think he set it up or something. haha. But anyway. He told us that after we left they got to talk a little about the gospel, and he also said that he thinks that her family will definitely be interested. Well we talked 'strategy' last night and are going to try to have a lesson with her and her family this week, when AJ just happens to be at their house again.
We have had so many good experiences when bishopric members give us names to go by. This by far is one of my favorites. Some one just happened to give us the A's name, and AJ just happened to be at aprils house when we stopped by, and we just happened to feel like we needed to stop by the H's house last night. Well, the Lord really is incharge of His work. I LOVE IT!
Other things, lets see.....E and her family moved. They didn't know their knew address, but they gave us directions to get their so we are going to try to find it and keep teaching her. We have an appointment tonight to talk to the lady named Lori that has a son on a mission (she and her husband are not members) and I am SUPER excited for that. Haven't had the opportunity to do that in a while. And we have someone on date for baptism on the 22nd of December. His name is J. Hermana T and I found him and he told us that he doesn't drink, smoke and he is trying to find something that can give him peace. Well if he isn't golden I dont know who is. The only tricky part is that he is super hard to get a hold of. He needs to come to church the next 2 sundays in a row or else he will fall of date...we hope that doesn't happen. But he is GREAT! I love extending baptismal invitations to people, especially when they say yes :D
Well. Our ward mission leaders gave us a christmas tree!!! It is so pretty! We decorated it this morning and it looks GREAT! It is Christmas time!
